Philippines says protested against China arms buildup on S. China Sea isles

MANILA, Jan 16 (Reuters) The Philippines has filed a diplomatic protest with China, its foreign minister said today, over Beijing's installation last year of anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems on its manmade islands in the disputed South China Sea.
The protest note was sent to the Chinese embassy in December, after confirmation of a report from the US-based Center for Strategic and International Studies about a weapons buildup on seven artificial islands in the Spratlys.
One of those islands is located within the Philippines' 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone.
