BEIJING -- China held sea and air combat drills Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at disputed Scarborough Shoal , an uninhabited area of reefs and rocks it had seized from the Philippines in the South China Sea .China on Sunday, November 10, published new baselines for the shoal including geographic coordinates. A nation’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone are typically defined as the distance from the baselines.
China seized the shoal, which lies west of the main Philippine island of Luzon, in 2012, and has since restricted access to Filipino fishermen there. A 2016 ruling by an international arbitration court found that most Chinese claims in the South China Sea were invalid but Beijing refuses to abide by it.
