("中国官方新华社稍早报道称，3艘中国军舰周日（26日）在中国与马来西亚有主权争议的曾母暗沙巡逻，军舰上的官兵宣誓捍卫国家主权")
, which is based on a report from Reuters and New Strait Times (NST), respectively. I read the Reuters report which is in fact based on the NST report.

Quote:
Royal Malaysian Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar who rubbished them as inaccurate reporting, said China was actually holding a high-level maritime exercise with its navy and airforce, away from the country's exclusive economic zone and it was held in conjunction with the recent launch of its aircraft carrier Liaoning.
"The exercise, Aziz said was being conducted northwest of the disputed Spratly islands, which was over 1,000 nautical miles away from Malaysia's 200nm exclusive economic zone, adding that no Chinese ship encroached James Shoal, located 80km northwest of Bintulu, Sarawak.
Note:
(a) Spratly islands 南沙群岛
(b) James Shoal
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Shoal
(a small bank in the South China Sea, with a depth of 22 metres (72 ft); Geographically, it is south of the Spratly Islands, but it is sometimes grouped with them as part of the international dispute over sovereignty in the South China Sea; The shoal is the southernmost feature of China as claimed by the PRC and ROC)
Of course, under United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, James Shoal can not be claimed as a territory, because it is submerged.
(c) For "Bintulu, Sarawak," see Bintulu Division
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bintulu_Division
(is one of the eleven administrative divisions of Sarawak, east Malaysia, on the island of Borneo; The population (year 2000 census) was 179,600) |
