The China Coast Guard (CCG) ramped up its presence in the waters around Huangyan Dao this week, conducting what it called \"routine law enforcement patrols\" to safeguard national interests. In a Friday statement, the CCG said it has been actively monitoring the area since early December, intercepting unauthorized vessels and reinforcing maritime security.
🔍 The move highlights Beijing\u2019s commitment to managing regional waters amid rising geopolitical tensions. Huangyan Dao, a strategic area in the South China Sea, remains a focal point for China\u2019s maritime governance.
⚖️ \u201cWe will resolutely protect China\u2019s territorial sovereignty,\u201d the CCG emphasized, signaling tighter oversight of activities in contested zones. Analysts suggest these patrols align with broader efforts to assert control without escalating disputes.
