💨 Abstract

China deployed two long-range H-6 bombers around the Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, as per satellite images obtained by Reuters, in a move to assert sovereignty over the disputed atoll. The deployment happened before US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's visit to the Philippines, which also claims the shoal. The Chinese defense ministry did not respond to questions regarding the scale of the deployment or its timing.
