Chinese patrols near Scarborough
China conducted military air and sea drills around Scarborough Shoal, a disputed area in the South China Sea, as a step to enhance its forces' readiness and defend its sovereignty. This comes in response to actions it claims undermine peace and stability in the region. These exercises follow China's announcement of a new policy banning fishing, mining, coral extraction, or harvesting giant clams in the area without a license. The shoal is part of the Huangyan Sea region, which China claims and is involved in a dispute over with the Philippines, known in the Philippines as Bajo de Masinloc.
