China says it 'expelled' Philippine vessel from Scarborough Shoal

BEIJING (Reuters) -China's coast guard said it took "necessary" measures including shouting and firing water cannon to "expel" a Philippine ship which it said "insisted" on "intruding" into waters around the Scarborough Shoal on Friday.

The Philippine embassy in Beijing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
