00:00A Chinese Coast Guard ship has rammed into a Philippine fishing vessel in the South China
00:05Sea.
00:06Manila says the Chinese ship fired water cannons and intentionally rammed into one of its vessels.
00:12The Philippine ship was taking fuel and food supplies to fishers in the South China Sea.
00:17Beijing says the Philippine vessel was attempting to illegally enter waters near the Sabina
00:21Shoal.
00:22That's an area both countries claim as their territory.
00:25The next day, China once again blockaded Philippine ships from reaching their outposts in the
00:29area, a move Manila is calling illegal.
