BEIJING, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Chinese warships gave warnings
to a U.S. navy ship as it patrolled close to China's man-made
islands in the South China Sea, China's defence ministry said on
Tuesday, adding that the military would take all necessary steps
to protect the country's interests.
The ministry made the comments in a statement on its website
after a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer sailed close to the
islands in disputed waters earlier on Tuesday. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N12Q1L7
