Though the Nine Islands made it to the news, it didn't immediately become the top headline.
Because from start to finish, there were only a few words from the spokesperson, no pictures and no evidence, most netizens thought they were just tiny reefs.
While it was exciting, that was it. After all, there are already several unsinkable aircraft carriers, and the excitement threshold has been raised.
The authorities didn't put much effort into promoting it, as the sudden addition of over 400 square kilometers of territorial land overnight is quite startling.
Moreover, the shapes of those nine islands, they defy any logical explanation...
So, it's being kept low-key domestically for now, dealing with it as it comes, using an unchanging plan to manage the changes.
Unexpectedly, after the initial frenzy and calming down gradually, the external reactions weren't as intense as anticipated by the authorities.
