I don’t understand why the news reports things like this. This is normal, China did nothing wrong.

China built islands in the south china sea, militarized them and claimed the land in opposition to UN law and it's neighbors, Vietnam and Philippines. That's wrong

China has no jurisdiction there at all. Those small islands are super close to the Philippines and far, far away galaxy from China. The Hague ruling doesn't recognize their fake 9-dash line. Older maps predate that sham. Other SEA countries also have claims there. They've been blocking and pushing away their neighbors' local fishermen from their own ancestral waters. They are illegally there in the first place.
