Chinese authorities say two people are dead and four are missing after a boat with 21 Filipinos on board capsized in the South China Sea. The Chinese Coast Guard and navy have rescued 15 people from the boat, with 14 of them in stable condition, they said Friday. The operation is ongoing. Officials say the boat capsized about 60 miles northwest of Scarborough Shoal. The area is a site of frequent confrontations between Chinese and Philippine ships. Both countries assert territorial claims to the waters near the shoal.
