In a dramatic maritime showdown, a China Coast Guard (CCG) spokesperson, Liu Dejun, warned Philippine vessels that any attempt to infringe on China’s territorial sovereignty is simply futile 🚢.
From Sunday to Wednesday, the Philippines dispatched multiple vessels near Banyue Jiao and Jianzhang Jiao of the Nansha Islands, claiming to operate under the banner of fishery protection. However, according to Liu, these actions are illegal infringements and provocations that disrupt regional peace and stability.
China maintains indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters. In response to these activities, the CCG has reinforced its commitment to conducting regular law enforcement operations within its jurisdiction to safeguard maritime rights.
This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in a key geopolitical hotspot. Stay tuned with amigonews.net for more updates on this unfolding story and other news shaping international maritime affairs!
