China's first deep water oil drill is ready to start production in the South China Sea amid an ongoing standoff with the Philippines in another section of the contested waters. The official Xinhua News Agency says China National Offshore Oil
Corporation's rig will start operations on Wednesday in an area 320
kilometers (200 miles) southeast of Hong Kong. It will drill at a depth
of 1,500 meters (almost 5,000 feet), Xinhua said in a report today.
Meanwhile, ships from China and the Philippines continue a standoff
over Scarborough Shoal to the southeast. It's been going on since April
10 when the Philippine navy accused Chinese boats of fishing illegally.
Both countries claim the shoal.
