Beijing has intensified its air and naval patrols around Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, asserting its sovereignty over the disputed area. The patrols are a response to recent tensions, including new Philippine laws and a security pact with the U.S.
On November 29, 2024, Beijing declared it was carrying out air and naval patrols around Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea to 'resolutely defend' its national sovereignty. The patrols, described as 'combat readiness patrols,' were aimed at increasing vigilance in airspace and waters surrounding the territorial areas of Huangyan Dao. China has been organizing such patrols throughout November.
The country also maintains its claim over the waters around Scarborough Shoal, which it took control of from the Philippines in 2012. Tensions have recently escalated, following the Philippines' signing of laws defining its sea territories and imposing restrictions on foreign ships' passage, as well as the recent security agreement between the U.S. and the Philippines
