China has stepped up military pressure around the disputed Scarborough Shoal, also known as Huangyan Dao, with the PLA Southern Theater Command conducting a joint naval-air training exercise on August 1. Chinese warships and aircraft operated around the shoal as Beijing accused the Philippines of challenging its "territorial sovereignty and maritime rights." The drills came after Manila submitted a nautical chart to the United Nations seeking to extend its seabed rights in the South China Sea, including waters around the disputed feature. China rejected the move and called it illegal and invalid. Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Chen Xi said the military exercises were a serious warning against what Beijing described as Philippine violations and provocations. #ScarboroughShoal #China #Philippines #SouthChinaSea #PLA #Taiwan #chinaphilippines Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
