The Chinese Embassy in Manila has denied reports that China is doing new constructions and reclamations in some unoccupied features of the Spratly Islands in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
According to JP Soriano's report on GMA News’ Unang Balita on Thursday, the Chinese embassy agreed with the South China Sea Probing Initiative that the Bloomberg article on the supposed new constructions was “fake news.”
The Unang Balita report said Bloomberg has yet to respond to the statement of the SCS Probing Initiative and the Chinese embassy. Meanwhile, there are several features in the South China Sea named Sandy Cay so it is not clear if the Bloomberg report is referring to the one near Pag-asa Island.
