The ＂Chinese Activity＂ on the islands and reefs expands the southern China Navys

(Manila Comprehensive News) After the media reported that after the reclamation of the South China Sea Unmanned Islands and Reefs in the South China Sea Unmanned Island Reef, the Philippine Ministry of Defense ordered the armed forces to expand its military existence in the South China Sea and defend the national territory.

The Philippine Ministry of National Defense issued a statement on Thursday (December 22) that the Ministry of Defense was ordered to expand the existence of the Philippines after the "Chinese Activity" was ordered near PAG-Asa (known as Zhongye Island)."Any act of invasion or reclamation in the Western Philippines is a threat to the security of Paig Assa Island belonging to the Philippines."

The statement also "strongly urged" China to maintain the current international order based on rules, "avoiding a move of intensified tension."

The Philippines calls the South China Sea the West Philippines.Paig Assa is currently controlled by the Philippines. There are more than 100 Philippine fishermen lived on the island and a few garrisons.

The Philippine Ministry of Defense has not further explained what the so -called "Chinese activities" are, but Bloomberg recently quoted Western officials that satellite images showed that China has reclaimed land in the South China Sea in recent years.The Philippine Ministry of Defense also expressed concern for dozens of ships in China last week in the disputed waters of the South China Sea, and has received support for the US State Department.

China reiterates that strictly observing the construction of the unmanned islands and reefs with the consensus of the country

However, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized Bloomberg's reports.Regarding the accusations of Chinese ships, China criticized the United States to provoke China -Philippine relations.

In response to the Philippine Ministry of Defense on Thursday, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines responded that China and the Philippines would properly handle maritime differences through friendly consultations.The Embassy also reiterated from Reuters that China strictly abides by the consensus reached with other voices of the South China Sea, including no construction and development of unmanned islands and reefs.

After the Philippine President President Macos came to power in June this year, he adopted a tough attitude towards the South China Sea issue.However, Magaks will be officially visited in Beijing a week, and the Philippine Presidential Palace has not yet reached the two storm reviews of the South China Sea.
