dc.descriptionChina’s declaration of a nature reserve in the South China Sea is the latest twist in its years-long push to establish control over the strategically important waters and sea lane. The National Forestry and Grassland Administration said last week that the reserve would protect the coral reef ecosystem at Huangyan Island, better known internationally as Scarborough Shoal. But outside experts believe the announcement was driven more by geopolitics than environmental protection. The outcropping — a triangular chain of reef and rock with a fish-rich lagoon in the middle — is a hotly disputed territory that is also claimed by the Philippines and Taiwan. Citationen
