→Scarborough Shoal
The [[Obama administration]] brokered an agreement between the PRC and the Philippines for the PRC to withdraw their ships from Scarborough Shoal. Only Manila complied with the agreement. Beijing has been in firm control of Scarborough Shoal ever since. The Obama administration, despite the brazen Chinese seizure, decided not to enforce the agreement it had arranged.<ref>https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17215/china-whitsun-reef</ref>

====Whitsun Shoal====
Whitsun Shoal, also known as Julian Felipe Reef, is 175 nautical miles from Palawan, an island of the Philippines. The feature is within the Philippine exclusive economic zone.
Since December 2020, large Chinese trawlers have lashed themselves together and parked in formations near Whitsun. Vessels come and go, but the numbers have gone up over time. They have not been engaged in fishing. Beijing began to turn features near Whitsun into military outposts.
