The South China Sea is the center of a new controversy as the Philippines has accused China of building artificial reefs around Xianbin Jiao. However, China has released an on-site investigation report on Friday, asserting that the coral reef ecosystem in the area is generally healthy and teeming with diverse species.
According to the report, the reefs at Xianbin Jiao are flourishing, supporting a wide variety of marine life that contributes to the biodiversity of the region. This counters the Philippines' claims and highlights China's commitment to maintaining the ecological balance in the South China Sea.
Marine conservationists and environmental enthusiasts are watching closely as this situation unfolds, emphasizing the importance of healthy reef systems for both the environment and local economies. 🌍🐠
