South Korea Reacts After China’s Yellow Sea Fish Farm Platforms Trigger Concerns
China’s recent construction of a massive steel platform in the disputed Yellow Sea waters has raised significant tensions with South Korea. The platform, which is anchored to the seabed and features a helipad, is seen by many as a strategic installation rather than a simple fishery management facility, as Beijing claims. Reports suggest that China is repurposing old oil rigs for these clandestine constructions, echoing its previous activities in the South China Sea, where Beijing transformed reefs into military outposts. South Korea views these actions as part of China’s broader “grey zone” tactics to assert control over disputed maritime areas inch by inch. The move comes even as China attempts to improve its diplomatic ties with both South Korea and Japan, following a trilateral trade meeting. However, the maritime confrontations have left South Korea questioning the reliability of China’s diplomatic efforts and its true intentions in the region.
