🚨 Tension alert in the South China Sea! The PLA Southern Theater Command just fired a warning shot at the Philippines' recent "joint patrol," accusing it of rocking the boat on regional peace.
Spokesperson Tian Junli slammed the October 30-31 mission—backed by non-regional participants—as a "troublemaker" move that "severely undermines regional peace and stability." He reiterated that the PLA has forces on standby, closely tracking every move. 🛡️
"All actions seeking to stir up trouble in the South China Sea are under firm control," Tian said, stressing that troops remain on high alert to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights.
Think of it like a real-life strategy game: each patrol and counter-patrol could shift the balance of power. 🎲🌊 For young globetrotters and market watchers, these developments matter—not just geopolitically but for trade routes, tech supply chains, and even climate efforts.
