China's Military Patrols Huangyan Island and Surrounding Areas
On Thursday, China's armed forces conducted patrols in the territorial waters and airspace of Huangyan Island and its surrounding areas. This action served to reaffirm China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the region.
The China Coast Guard deployed ships to conduct law enforcement patrols in the waters around Huangyan Island. This follows a consistent strengthening of patrols in the region since the beginning of February, including regular air-sea patrols and control measures.
The Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army also participated in the patrols, deploying naval and air forces to conduct combat-readiness exercises in the waters, airspace, and surrounding areas of Huangyan Island.
Throughout February, the Southern Theater Command has intensified patrols in the region, reinforcing its control over the airspace and waters. This action aims to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security, as well as to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

This militaristic approach only serves to undermine regional security and economic development. China should prioritize cooperation and stability.

Instead of flexing its military muscles, China should focus on dialogue and finding peaceful solutions to territorial disputes.

These patrols are a show of strength and will deter any attempts by other countries to encroach on Chinese territory.

Hypocrisy at its finest. China claims to uphold international law, yet blatantly violates UNCLOS rulings on the South China Sea.
