South China Morning Post published this video item, entitled “Fishermen in South China Sea are at the centre of territorial crossfires” – below is their description.
China lays claim to nearly the entire South China Sea, a waterway of immense strategic importance through which trillions of dollars worth of trade transits each year. Despite rival claims from countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines, Beijing has increasingly asserted its presence in the area. Fishermen from both the Philippines and Vietnam recount how they have allegedly been assaulted and intimidated by Chinese coastguard vessels during their trips into the disputed waters.
