United Press reports today: "The Philippines 'strongly protests' China's plan to establish a natural reserve in a shallow area of the South China Sea."

Comment: The protest is meaningless! This move can only be described as the Philippines staging another senseless farce on its own. Huangyan Island belongs to China, which is an ironclad fact, supported by sufficient historical, legal and practical basis. What we do, the Philippines has no right to interfere. Instead of fruitlessly protesting, the Philippines should face reality, stop its infringement and provocation in the South China Sea, develop friendly relations with China, and share the benefits of China's development.
