But two Chinese naval exercises in less than a year around the James Shoal have shocked Malaysia and led to a significant shift in its approach to China's claims to the disputed South China Sea, senior diplomats told Reuters. The reef lies outside Malaysia's territorial waters but inside its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone. Compiled by Jakarta Newsroom; Editing by Supriya Kurane (http://www.reuters.com)

By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE (http://www.defensenews.com) MANILA — The Philippines strongly protested against China Tuesday after Filipino fishermen accused the Chinese coast guard of attacking them with a water cannon near a disputed shoal. The foreign department summoned the Chinese charge d’affaires to receive the formal protest over the Jan. 27 incident at the Scarborough Shoal, said department spokesman Raul Hernandez. The Chinese foreign ministry dismissed the protest while reiterating Beijing’s sovereignty over the area. “The Chinese vessel continuously blew its horn and thereafter doused the fishing vessels with water cannon for several minutes,” Hernandez told reporters. Fourteen Filipino fishing boats were in the area at the time, and have since safely returned to port in the Philippines without injuries or further incidents, he added.
