Description
A convoy of civilian boats planning to deliver provisions to Filipino fishermen and troops in the disputed South China Sea aborted the trip on Sunday after having "this sense" of "being surrounded by Chinese vessels", the organiser says. "The triggering point was when the Chinese Coast Guard, that was supposed to just pass by, changed its course and moved towards us, almost as if it WAS charting a collision course," Rafaela David, a member of the Atin Ito Coalition that organised the convoy, tells a press conference.
