Send a strong signal!
Singapore's Straits Times reported today: "On Saturday (November 29), the Chinese military and China Coast Guard conducted readiness patrols and law enforcement inspections around the Huangyan Island, which is a territory in dispute, known as Scarborough Shoal by the Philippines."
This action by China sends a clear signal to the outside world of its determination to safeguard territorial sovereignty and maritime rights. Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China's territory, and the relevant actions taken by China are entirely within its own territory and surrounding waters, exercising legitimate rights. It is both reasonable and legal, as well as necessary and appropriate. This inspection demonstrates China's firm resolve to defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and is a powerful deterrent to potential troublemakers, indicating that China has the capability and determination to protect every inch of its territory. On core interest issues, when faced with provocation, China will resolutely take action and never retreat.
