Huge Chinese 'fishing fleet' alarms Philippines
The Philippines has called on China to withdraw more than 200 ships it accuses of encroaching upon its territorial waters in the South China Sea.
Defence Minister Delfin Lorenzana said the Chinese ships were violating the Philippines' maritime rights.
The Philippines says the fishing boats do not appear to be fishing and are crewed by China's maritime militia.
Five years ago an international court rejected Chinese claims of sovereignty over 90% of the water mass.
