Tensions rise in Asia as the China Coast Guard (CCG) calls on the Philippines to immediately stop unauthorized activities near Huangyan Dao, a region China asserts as its sovereign territory. 🔥
The warning follows reports of a Philippine aircraft entering the airspace over Huangyan Dao on Thursday. CCG spokesperson Liu Dejun stated the move “seriously violates China’s sovereignty” and risks sparking “unexpected incidents” in the area. 🌏⚡
“Huangyan Dao has always been part of China’s territory,” Liu emphasized, urging dialogue over confrontation. The dispute highlights ongoing friction in the South China Sea, a hotspot for global trade and geopolitics. 🚢💥
