Surprisingly, They Have Been Mooring Since Last Year
The Philippine government as of late affirmed that many Chinese vessels have been secured in Julian Felipe (Whitsun) Reef yet the armada has been showing up nearby since December, as per a report. In view of this, Satellite pictures delivered by US-based Simularity showed that countless Chinese boats have been securing, showing up and withdrawing at the coral reef since mid-December a year ago.
In fact, between March 23–24, 2021, Simularity checked roughly 200 vessels at Whitsun Reef, of which most are likely fishing vessels, and a couple are plausible Chinese Coast Guard vessels. Simularity, a product organization that checks for new satellite symbolism of the South China Sea consistently, reported the movement of Chinese boats on Julian Felipe Reef, which is well inside the Philippine elite financial zone.
The satellite pictures from December 2020 showed assumed fishing ships secured along with a width of up to 200 meters, making fishing unimaginable.
Along with this, The quantity of secured ships plunges momentarily toward the beginning of February, yet the quantity of boats showing up and withdrawing is as yet significant.
