Ex-DFA chief urges PH to protest China's creation of new districts in South China Sea

— Former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario is urging the government to protest China’s creation of new districts that cover features in the South China Sea, including the Philippine-claimed Spratly Islands, Scarborough Shoal and Fiery Cross Reef.

“These show that China has been relentless in exploiting the COVID-19 pandemic as it continues to pursue its illegal and expansive claims in the South China Sea to the prejudice of Filipinos, the ASEAN states and the international community as a whole,” Del Rosario said.Saturday that China has established two new districts covering Paracel Islands, Zhongsha Islands, which is home to Scarborough Shoal, Woody Island, Spratly Islands, and Fiery Cross Reef.

The CGTN report also said that another district, called Nansha, will be governing the Spratly Islands and its surrounding waters. Its government will hold office on Fiery Cross Reef. CGTN described the city as covering two million square square kilometers, but only covering 20 square kilometers of land. It also said some 1,800 people live in the city.

"It has been steadily increasing its presence... it's been steadily increasing the frequency of harassment of Southeast Asian oil and gas operations, fishing operations, etc.," Poling said, adding that China is showing no signs of stopping in order to establish control of contested waters.

ruthcabal15 Nothing you can do now. And you don’t have the military strength to repel that either.

kumbinsihin nila ang Vietnam, Taiwan, at Malaysia to also file for dispute. Kasi ang daming claimants ng isla diyan sa WPS.

Nakakainis na

The Covid-19 has served as a diversion. While everyone is busy fighting the pandemic, China is taking the opportunity. God is watching. China will pay. And Duterte, too.

NEVER FORGET. It was Duterte who allowed this. After his term we, the Filipino people, must make him pay for this.
