Amid a new round of Philippine hype over its so-called territorial claims involving China's Huangyan Dao, the US State Department on Saturday, in a statement, smeared China's Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve as "destabilizing" and pledged support for its ally. A Chinese expert said Washington is encouraging Manila to disrupt regional peace while offering little more than hollow verbal assurances, further undermining stability in the South China Sea.
The statement, published on the State Department's official website and attributed to spokesperson Thomas Pigott, claimed that the US "rejects China's ongoing attempts to enforce its destabilizing 'national nature reserve'" at Huangyan Dao.
Pigott also alleged that the reserve would "deny Filipino fishermen access to their traditional fishing ground as reflected in the 2016 Arbitral Award."
It is absurd for the US, a country that is not a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to pass judgment on the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve, Yang Xiao, a research fellow at the Institute of Peaceful Development under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday.
The US has neither jurisdiction in the South China Sea nor the standing to judge regional affairs. Its allegation of the reserve at this time is merely intended to echo the Philippines' latest hype surrounding Huangyan Dao, Yang said.
At a time when the broader China-US relationship is moving toward an easing of tensions, attempts by certain US officials to encourage provocations out of narrow political interests run counter to the overall trend, Yang said.
Pigott further smeared the reserve as "another unilateral attempt by China to use dubious environmental and legal pretexts," which he claimed was intended to advance China's territorial and maritime claims in the South China Sea "at the expense of its neighbors."
"The United States stands with our Ally, the Philippines, in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific," Pigott claimed.
The expert added that the statement also invoked the unlawful and invalid 2016 "South China Sea Arbitral Award" as a pretext, seeking to portray China as a destabilizing force in the region and mislead the international community.
The US statement comes as Manila has sought to advance its claims over Huangyan Dao through various means, including by delimitation of the so-called "baselines of the territorial sea" of the Chinese territory of Huangyan Dao. The Chinese Foreign Ministry on July 31 described the move as "illegal, null and void."
Yang said that amid a broader retrenchment of its global strategy, the US is seeking to encourage countries including Japan and the Philippines to stage regional provocations and disrupt stability. Such tactics include organizing joint military exercises and tolerating provocative actions by Manila in the South China Sea.
However, Washington is no longer capable of offering the Philippines substantive support and can provide little more than rhetorical backing, Yang said. Such statements amount to words on paper and have no practical effect, he added.
China's State Council approved the establishment of the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve in September 2025. China has since conducted multiple scientific surveys in the area.
On August 1, China issued management measures for the reserve, prohibiting unauthorized fishing and mining, the harvesting or excavation of corals, coral reefs and giant clams, as well as other activities that damage rare marine species or the reserve's natural ecosystems.
China has also discovered a globally rare coral reef growth structure-type marine blue hole at Huangyan Dao. Preliminary geochronological analyses suggest that the blue hole formed at least 3,200 years ago, while surveys have found rich biodiversity in its surrounding waters. The finding is considered further evidence of the effectiveness and necessity of China's ecological protection measures at Huangyan Dao.
。 “集合!今晚潮友社召集两桌潮友,‘快乐星球’的居民们赶快接龙报名。

二 | ”8月3日,雄安新区容东片区定安社区潮友社青年社团微信群——“快乐星球”群里一声招呼,不到5分钟,桌游和狼人杀名额就被抢光。这个叫潮友社的青年社团,已成为雄安新区青年人钟情的社交港湾。潮友社诞生于一次入户调查。去年春天,定安社区工作人员走访居民,一些北京疏解企业的青年住户提出:大家渴望在下班后有一个能缷下疲惫、交到朋友的“社区客厅”。起初,工作人员只是在社区群里约着大家一起玩儿桌游,不料一次邀约竟来了20多人,社区不得不临时协调场地。这次相聚让大家发现:大批从北京疏解而来的青年,下班后缺少社交渠道,难寻玩伴。一边是疏解企业青年需求迫切,一边是社区场地闲置,两相契合,潮友社这个常态化青年社团应运而生。在社区的全程帮助下,潮友社2025年5月正式备案。起步之初仅有十余人的小规模桌游局,如今已成为拥有300多群友、每周都有活动的成熟社区青年组织。截至目前,定安社区潮友社累计开展各类活动182场,储备桌游品类50余种,涵盖剧本杀、狼人杀、策略经营、合作解谜等多种形式,活动排期紧凑,几乎隔日便有专场,活动名额常常一经发布便迅速报满。

三 | 不同于普通线下桌游聚会,潮友社跳出纯娱乐局限,走出一条“娱乐+宣教”的特色路子。社团打造多款特色主题桌游剧本:依托本地红色历史资源创作党建主题剧本,引导青年们在角色扮演中沉浸式感悟革命精神;结合真实案例改编法治剧本,引导大家在推理探案的过程中,潜移默化读懂民法典相关知识。“社团能够活力满满,核心在于‘社区搭台、青年唱戏’的自主运营模式。”容东片区定安社区党总支书记郭俊媛说,社区免费提供活动场地、配套基础保障,而活动策划、人员招募、现场主持、社群维护、新人引导等全部日常事务,均由两名青年主理人和多名青年志愿者负责。

四 | 这些运营者身份不同,有互联网程序员,有自由职业者。如今,潮友社已成为定安社区青年文化的亮眼名片。
