Decades-old radio records prove China's longstanding sovereignty over Huangyan Dao

A decades-old piece of amateur radio history has resurfaced as evidence that the Philippines once formally acknowledged Huangyan Dao was not within the Philippine territory, according to archival records revealed by a Chinese expedition leader in an interview with China Media Group (CMG).

Chen Ping, leader of several Chinese amateur radio expeditions to Huangyan Dao in the 1990s, said the Philippine Amateur Radio Association had consulted relevant government departments after the Chinese Radio Sports Association applied to register Huangyan Dao as a separate entity under the internationally recognized DXCC (DX Century Club) program.

According to Chen, the Philippine side's reply confirmed that Huangyan Dao was not within the territorial sovereignty of the Philippines, clearing the way for the registration process.
