China sends ships to monitor US warship near disputed South China Sea shoal
China also disputes control of the Spratly Islands with the Philippines, where a Chinese vessel struck a Philippine boat last month. On Tuesday, China’s military said it had sent naval forces to follow the USS Charleston near Sabina Shoal, while the US Navy did not immediately comment. Separately, Taiwan’s coastguard reported a standoff with a Chinese ship near the Pratas Islands.
