|May 25, 2025
South Korea has voiced concerns to China over its establishment of a “no-sail zone” in a shared area of the Yellow Sea, Seoul’s foreign ministry said Saturday.
-
The US outlet Newsweek reported Wednesday that China had barred ships from entering certain parts of the Yellow Sea, located between mainland China and the Korean Peninsula.
According to Newsweek, a regional branch of China’s Maritime Safety Administration declared the no-sail zone in parts of the sea’s Provisional Measures Zone (PMZ) -- a shared area where the two countries’ exclusive economic zones overlap -- until May 27.
