Jiang Lue, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard (CCG), stated that on August 1, the CCG conducted drills on rights-protection law enforcement and management and control in the waters near China’s Huangyan Dao, focusing on operations such as visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS), interdiction of forced entry, and forced towing. Huangyan Dao is an inherent part of China’s territory. The CCG will step up efforts in rights-protection law enforcement and management and control in the waters near Huangyan Dao, and resolutely safeguard China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.

Summary

Machine summary

On August 1, the China Coast Guard conducted drills near Huangyan Dao (Scarborough Shoal) focused on visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS), interdiction of forced entry, and forced towing — the specific mix of operations used to block or remove vessels from the feature. The CCG spokesperson's explicit commitment to step up 权益维权执法管控 (rights-protection law enforcement and management and control) at Huangyan Dao fits the pattern of incremental operational normalization around the shoal, extending pressure tactics that have previously been applied more visibly at Second Thomas Shoal; whether this marks a shift in operational tempo or frequency at Huangyan Dao specifically remains unclear from this announcement alone.
