The Philippine government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs , has expressed concern over China’s latest reported reclamation activities in some unoccupied features in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea .
“The department takes note of the Bloomberg article on reported reclamation activities by China in unoccupied features of the Spratlys. We are seriously concerned as such activities contravene the Declaration of Conduct on the South China Sea’s [DOC] undertaking on self-restraint and the 2016 Arbitral Award,” she said in a statement issued on Wednesday. “We have asked relevant Philippine agencies to verify and validate the contents of this report.
In a separate statement, the Chinese Embassy in Manila tacitly denied the allegation and tagged the Bloomberg report as “fake news.” Fishing fleets that operate as de facto maritime militias under the control of authorities in Beijing have carried out construction activities at four unoccupied features in the Spratly Islands over the past decade, according to the officials, who asked not to be identified to discuss sensitive information. Some sand bars and other formations in the area expanded more than 10 times in size in recent years, they said.
