Hey there! Have you ever heard about Tiexian Jiao? It’s a tiny reef in the South China Sea 🏝️. Something important happened there recently!
On Sunday, China’s Coast Guard saw six people from the Philippines land on Tiexian Jiao without permission. Uh-oh! 🚫 That’s not allowed.
China believes Tiexian Jiao is part of its own territory called Nansha Qundao. To protect the reef, Coast Guard officers went there to check things out. They made sure everything was okay and that no one was breaking any rules 🔍.
A spokesperson from China’s Foreign Ministry, Guo Jiakun, said that China is doing this to protect its land and make sure everyone follows the rules in the South China Sea 🌊.
Why is this important? Well, countries need to respect each other’s boundaries so everyone can get along peacefully. By making sure no one lands on Tiexian Jiao illegally, China wants to keep things fair and safe 🤝.
So there you have it! The next time you hear about the South China Sea, you’ll know a bit more about what’s going on and why it’s important for countries to work together.
