China defends Coast Guard law
Excerpt
The Chinese Embassy in Manila on Monday said China's new law authorizing its Coast Guard to shoot foreign vessels sailing through its claimed areas in the disputed South China Sea conforms with international law. The embassy also denied reports of the Chinese Coast Guard ships harassing Filipino fishermen and intruding in Philippine waters. The Chinese Embassy stressed that such law is a sovereign right and similarly enforced by other states, including the Philippines.
