📢 Breaking News! China has just announced new maritime boundaries near Huangyan Dao, setting the stage for the latest developments in the South China Sea 🌊.
According to a spokesperson from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, delimiting and announcing the baselines of the territorial sea adjacent to Huangyan Dao is a lawful move that aligns with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. \"It's a natural step to strengthen marine management,\" the spokesperson stated.
Huangyan Dao has always been considered part of China’s territory 🇨🇳. The recent action is seen as a response to the Philippine Maritime Zones Act 🌐, which China views as an attempt to include Huangyan Dao and parts of Nansha Qundao into the Philippines' maritime zones illegally.
\"This move severely violates China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea,\" the spokesperson emphasized. \"We firmly oppose it and will continue to do everything necessary to defend our territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.\"
The South China Sea has long been a hotspot for territorial disputes, but with these new developments, all eyes are on how regional relations will unfold. Stay tuned for more updates! 📝
