    Terrible. Getting caught up in a geopolitical fight while you’re just trying to eke out a living. Hope their families find peace.

    The area has witnessed increasingly frequent run-ins between Philippine vessels and tiny wooden fishing boats against much larger Chinese coast guard ships and what Manila says are shadowy Chinese “maritime militia” fishing vessels.

    Wooden fishing boats vs. steel hull ships tells you everything about who’s the aggressor. Hope they find a resolution.
