China will conduct military training in the South China Sea from July 29 to August 2 covering a large area including the Paracel Islands and Macclesfield Bank, its Maritime Safety Administration said on Friday.
Vessels are banned from entering the area during the training, it said in a notice.

The Macclesfield Bank, an entirely underwater atoll of reefs and shoals east of Paracels, is administered by China’s Sansha town but also claimed by Taiwan.
