2015年CRI 长江倾覆客轮开始进行切割作业 外交部回应菲律宾涉南海言论

 

Rescuers are cutting into the hull¹ of a capsized cruise ship on the Yangtze River in an escalated² effort to find survivors³ believed to be trapped inside.

Only 14 survivors have been rescued and more than 400 people are still unaccounted for since the ship sank Monday night after being hit by a sudden storm.

Latest reports say 30 bodies have been recovered.

Divers⁴ have also expanded the search area downstream, to waters over 200 kilometers from where the ship went down.

Meanwhile, preparation work for salvaging⁵ the ship is almost complete.

China has expressed shock and strong dissatisfaction with the remarks of Philippine President Benigno Aquino, who compared China to Nazi⁶ Germany while making a speech in Japan.

Aquino was commenting on the two countries' territorial⁷ disputes in the South China Sea in the speech, calling on the United States to play its part.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry⁸ says the Philippines is colluding with countries from outside the region and smearing⁹ China for its own interests.

A ministry spokesperson has warned the Philippines to stop its provocations¹⁰ and go back to the right track of negotiation¹¹ and consultation¹².
