Hello friends! Did you know that China and the Philippines are having a disagreement over some islands in the South China Sea? Let’s dive in to understand what’s happening! 🌊
Recently, six people from the Philippines landed on an island called Tiexian Jiao, which is part of China’s Nansha Qundao (also known as the Spratly Islands). China says these islands belong to them. 🇨🇳
A spokesperson from the China Coast Guard, Liu Dejun, said that the Philippines should stop doing things on these islands without permission. They believe it violates China’s territorial sovereignty, which means they think these actions are happening on land that belongs to China. 🛑
China feels that the Philippines’ actions are causing problems and might upset the peace in the area. They want the Philippines to stop and hope both countries can work things out peacefully. 🤝
The China Coast Guard mentioned they will keep protecting the areas they believe are theirs. They patrol these waters to make sure everything stays safe. 🚢
It’s important for countries to talk and solve disagreements so everyone can share the ocean happily! 😊
