China has intercepted a submarine detector dropped by the United
States in the South China Sea. This was reported by the Global
Times newspaper, Azernews reports.
A video was posted on the publication's X page, which shows how
a US military aircraft drops an object into the sea, which was
subsequently fished out of the water and turned out to be an
underwater detector.
In early June, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the United
States was "playing a shameful role" in escalating tensions in the
South China Sea, using territorial tensions between China and the
Philippines for selfish purposes.
Recently, incidents have become more frequent in the South China
Sea, leading to increased tensions. In particular, we are talking
about the displacement of Philippine ships and vessels by Chinese
Coast Guard boats.
Beijing has been arguing with several countries for several
decades over the territorial affiliation of individual islands in
the South China Sea, on the shelf of which significant hydrocarbon
reserves have been discovered. First of all, we are talking about
the Xisha Archipelago (Paracel Islands), the Nansha Islands
(Spratly) and Huangyan (Scarborough). These issues relate to
Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines.
