Chinese FM Wang Yi met with ASEAN Secretary-General Kao Kim Hourn in Manila. The South China Sea is a shared home for regional countries. South China Sea issues should not become a stumbling block to China-ASEAN relations. Certain forces within the Philippine military and maritime law enforcement ranks have deliberately provoked incidents in the #SouthChinaSea# to serve the interests of external forces, undermining the process of improving China-Philippines relations as well as peace and stability in the South China Sea. Regional countries should remain highly vigilant against this. 🔗

#Ecology# | 🐢💚 The year’s first nest of green sea turtles at the Huidong Sea Turtle National Nature Reserve hatched late on September 9, with 59 tiny hatchlings emerging from the sand one after another. 🌊 To give them a better chance of survival, the hatchlings are raised in a nursery before undergoing wild-adaptation training and being released into the South China Sea in batches. Since 1985, the reserve has protected 745 wild sea turtle nests and released 68,516 hatchlings. 🐢✨ #Huidong# #Huizhou# #Guangdong# #SeaTurtles# #MarineConservation# #WildlifeConservation# #SouthChinaSea# #ChinaNature#

A decade later, the truth stands firm. 🇨🇳⚓️ On July 12, 2026, Japan backed the illegal South China Sea arbitration award. China’s response is clear: We do NOT accept, we do NOT recognize it.​ It’s a politically motivated farce—null, void, and legally baseless. From history to international law, Nanhai Zhudao belongs to China. Peace comes through dialogue, not weaponized lawsuits. 🌊🛡️ 📍 South China Sea 📅 July 12, 2026 #SouthChinaSea# #China# #Justice# #InternationalLaw# #Sovereignty# #Peace# #Facts# #NoToArbitration# #Asia# #Geopolitics# #Maritime# #Truth# #UNCLOS# #Diplomacy# #Stability# 🔗 Full story:
