中國海軍封鎖南海菲船擱淺現(xiàn)場

China has stationed up to five ships around a disputed island in the South China Sea, blocking Philippine fishermen.

中國已在南海一個爭議島嶼駐扎五艘船，以控制菲律賓漁民。

The report comes from The Philippine Star newspaper in its Wednesday edition.

該消息來自菲律賓星報的本周三刊。

China recently sent ships to the Quirino Atoll, also known as Jackson Atoll, the paper reported.

該報道稱中國最近派船去五方礁，外媒稱Jackson Atoll。

Eugenio Bito-onon Jr. is a mayor on the Spratly Islands. He told the Star that Chinese ships docked at the atoll more than a month ago.

南沙群島的卡拉延市市長比托-翁翁對星報表示，中國船已在五方礁停泊一個多月了。

Chinese boats chased Philippine fishermen from the atoll’s shores, the paper said.

該報稱，中國船只從島礁追趕菲律賓漁民。

The paper quoted an unnamed fisherman, saying, “These gray and white Chinese ships, around four of them inside the lagoon, prevented us from entering our traditional fishing ground.”

一名不愿透漏姓名的漁民描述稱：“大概有4艘灰白色中國船只在環(huán)礁湖處阻止我們進入傳統(tǒng)捕魚區(qū)。”

The Philippine military said it has tracked Chinese ships, too.

菲律賓軍方也稱收到了該地區(qū)有中國船只的報道。
