FILE - This July 20, 2011, file photo shows an aerial view of Pag-asa Island, part of the disputed Spratly group of islands, in the South China Sea located off the coast of western Philippines. A senior U.S. official says the presence of large numbers of Chinese vessels near islands and islets occupied by the Philippines is "a concern." The Philippine government protested the Chinese ship movements Thursday, April 4, 2019, after its military monitored more than 200 Chinese vessels from January-March in a disputed area named Sandy Cay, which is near the Philippine-occupied island of Pag-asa.
