Its flying squadron and maritime rescue and administration staff would be stationed at Fiery Cross, Subi and Mischief reefs in the Spratlys to boost rescue operations, says the media report.
These would also “provide strong protection for the safety of ship navigation and daily production activities at sea for the people of coastal countries.” China has repeatedly called illegal a 2016 arbitral award by a United Nations-backed tribunal favoring the Philippines’ claims in the disputed sea where the Spratly Islands are located. The arbitration court voided China’s claim to more than 80% of the sea based on a 1940s nine-dash line map.
The Philippines claims the northeastern section of the island, calling it the Kalayaan Island Group, while Malaysia claims part of the Kalayaan Island. Meanwhile, China and Taiwan claim the entire island group. Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique A. Manalo has said the findings of the arbitration court “are no longer within the reach of denial and rebuttal, and are conclusive as they are indisputable.”
