On Friday, the China Coast Guard (CCG) stepped up its law enforcement patrols around the island of Huangyan and nearby waters. 🌊🚢
According to a CCG statement, patrols have been intensified since the beginning of this month, aiming to track, warn, intercept, and expel ships and aircraft engaged in illegal infringing or harassing activities. ⚓✈️
These operations are carried out strictly under laws and regulations to strengthen control over the maritime area and firmly safeguard the country’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, the CCG said. 💪
With these moves, the CCG aims to send a clear message: the waters around Huangyan Island are under close watch. For travelers, market watchers, and the Asian diaspora, this highlights how nations protect borders and keep sea lanes safe for everyone. 🌏
