The Philippines submitted an official maritime chart to the United Nations on July 31, establishing a territorial sea baseline around Democracy Reef (Scarborough Shoal).1 In response, China's Foreign Ministry immediately rejected the action, stating that the Philippines' move "seriously infringes on China's territorial sovereignty" and "seriously violates the UN Charter and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and other international law," declaring it "illegal and invalid."1
The Chinese military's Southern Theater Command announced on August 1 that it would conduct joint naval and air exercises in the waters and airspace surrounding the reef as a countermeasure.1 The command characterized the drills as aimed at "safeguarding national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests."1 This followed a separate combat readiness patrol organized by the Southern Theater Command in the same area on July 30.1 The escalation comes amid earlier tensions in late July, when the Philippines accused Chinese coast guard vessels of deploying water cannons, while China countered that Philippine ships deliberately rammed Chinese vessels.1
