Narrative: There were seven vessels lingering near an area which, though claimed
by the Philippines, was not clearly divided between state territories. The Philippine
military identified four Chinese ships and a Vietnamese vessel, engaged in what had
every appearance of “regular movements,” but sent reinforcement patrols before even
inquiring what the ships were doing. Two vessels were never even identified before
the Philippine navy dispatched patrols.
