Investing.com -- China’s military carried out patrols in the South China Sea from August 3 to 4, according to a spokesperson for the Southern Theatre Command who made the announcement Monday.
The Chinese spokesperson described the patrol activities as "routine" in nature.
On the same day, the Philippines announced that its navy had conducted its first-ever joint sailing operation with India’s navy in the South China Sea. This area is subject to territorial disputes, with China claiming nearly the entire sea, while several Southeast Asian nations including Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have overlapping maritime claims.
The Chinese military spokesperson criticized the Philippines-India naval activity, stating that the "so-called ’joint patrol’ disrupted regional peace and stability."
