Data showed that in 39 U.S. FONOPs around the South China Sea launched from 2015 to 2022, at least 22 are relevant to the country’s policy trends around China and this part of the ocean, mainly involving the construction of the Nansha Islands, the South China Sea arbitration case, and consultations on the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South China Sea. The report believed that the U.S. army operations have nothing to do with its claims of maintaining freedom of navigation and regional stability, but are rather tools serving its gunboat policy and political means to put pressure on China.
