China embarrassed by S. China Sea ship collision
Chinese officials remain largely silent on the South China Sea collision between a People's Liberation Army navy destroyer and a Chinese coast guard cutter this week that analysts say likely led to Chinese injuries and deaths.
After several incidents on the high seas, the Philippines accuse China of "more aggressive tactics" and call on the US to set a signal.
The US Navy today deployed two warships in the South China Sea, at the place where two Chinese Navy and Coast Guard ships collided two days ago while trying to chase away a smaller Philippine ship. Both China and the Philippines claim the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also claim rights in the disputed waters.
The US maintains that the submarine hunter did nothing illegal, but has not said whether it is true that the vessel was driven away.
