According to spokesperson Mao Ning at a regular press conference on February 26, China has installed a barrier at the entrance to the scarborough shoal lagoon. This news has attracted a lot of attention from ** and the public. Questions have arisen as to the purpose of the barrier and whether it could be a permanent fixture at the entrance.
In response to a reporter's question, spokesperson Mao Ning said that Scarborough Shoal is China's inherent territory, and the Philippines has recently taken a series of actions to infringe on China's sovereignty in the area. China has no choice but to take necessary measures to firmly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. Therefore, the barrier is erected to prevent illegal invasion and protect one's own national interests.
As China's inherent territory, Scarborough Shoal has always attracted much attention. Located in the South China Sea, this small island plays an important role in geopolitics. However, the Philippines and China have been in dispute over sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines claims Scarborough Shoal as its territory, while China insists that Scarborough Shoal is China's inherent territory.
In fact, the waters around Scarborough Shoal have become a zone of tension between the Philippines and China. The Philippines** previously reported that Chinese fishermen and fishing boats were operating in the area, and the Philippines sent patrol vessels to intervene. In addition, reports of China's construction of artificial islands and military facilities near Scarborough Shoal have also attracted international attention.
In response to the Philippine side's aggression on Scarborough Shoal, China** resolutely retaliated. In order to ensure the territorial integrity and maritime rights and interests of the country, China decided to erect a barrier at the entrance to the lagoon of Scarborough Shoal. This initiative aims to deter illegal invasions and protect China's territorial sovereignty.
However, speculation persists as to whether the barrier will become a permanent fixture. Spokesperson Mao Ning did not answer this question explicitly, but the establishment of this facility clearly demonstrates China's firm attitude towards Scarborough Shoal.
The issue of Scarborough Shoal involves China's territorial integrity and sovereign rights and interests, and is of great significance to China. China** has always stressed the need to resolutely safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. In the developing international situation, China will continue to take necessary measures to defend its own interests and dignity.
The installation of the barrier at Scarborough Shoal has aroused the attention of the international community and once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the Philippine side. However, China's position is unwavering, and its determination to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests will not waver.
Although the issue of Scarborough Shoal remains controversial, China's position and actions show that China will unswervingly defend its interests and dignity. With the passage of time, it is believed that this important regional dispute will eventually be properly resolved and make positive contributions to the development of bilateral relations and regional peace and stability.
