Photos confirm China reclamation; experts hit reef degradation in Spratly By Nikko Dizon Philippine Daily Inquirer Saturday, June 7th, 2014 ![]() 'EARTHMOVING ACTIVITIES' - A backhoe attached to a Chinese vessel is apparently scooping up some filling materials in a reclamation project while at the same time harvesting endangered species, giant clams. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES The military has taken photographs of China's ongoing reclamation activity on Malvar Reef in February, with the pictures showing a backhoe attached to a Chinese vessel that, scientists said, was presumably used to gather filling materials and harvest giant clams. On Thursday, President Benigno Aquino III said Chinese ships had been monitored moving around other reefs in the West Philippine Sea, possibly to reclaim land in Gavin Reef (Gaven Reef) and Calderon Reef (Cuarteron Reef). Defense spokesperson Peter Galvez confirmed that China had reclaimed land on Malvar Reef (Eldad Reef), which lies northeast of Mabini Reef (Johnson South Reef), where China had previously reclaimed land.

Philippines calls for construction freeze in South China Sea Reuters - 16 hours ago MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines said on Monday that China's "expansion agenda" in the disputed South China Sea threatened security and stability in the region, calling on all claimant states to halt construction activities that may raise tensions. "Let's call for a moratorium in terms of activities that escalate tension. Now, let's do that while we work on an expeditious conclusion of the code of conduct and effective implementation. They're accelerating their expansion agenda for the following reasons... one is they want to do this before the conclusion of the code of conduct. They're also trying to do this very quickly in anticipation of the handing down of the tribunal award." - Albert del Rosario, Foreign Affairs Secretary Del Rosario said China and other claimant states have been rushing construction activities in their respective claimed territories to expand, citing works in Fiery Cross Reef, Johnson South Reef, Gaven Reef, and Cuarteron Reef.

An existing DOC - Trashed by China. Reclamation works continue. Proposing a moratorium - Everyone knows this will be broken by China. "Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock." - Will Rogers It's time improve your facilities there. China is "accelerating" their construction efforts - while yours are not only in hibernation, but are degrading at a steady pace. Edited by Hong Nam, Jun 17 2014, 11:15 AM.

China demands Philippines’ withdrawal from Spratly June 17, 2014 (updated) China has demanded that the Philippines withdraw all its facilities and personnel in Spratly islands (Nansha islands) in response to the latter’s call for a moratorium on all land formation activities in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). In a statement, Chinese Foreign Minister Hua Chunying said that “Since the 1970s, the Philippines has illegally and forcefully occupied parts of China’s Nansha Islands including the Zhongye Island, in violation of the UN Charter and principles of international law.” http://www.mb.com.ph/china-demands-philippines-to-withdraw-from-spratly/ Edited by Mckoyzzz, Jun 18 2014, 04:32 PM.
