It's in the northern hemisphere about 3000km away at closest. This article is using some underhanded rhetoric here.
Sandy Cay is unoccupied and is claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC) and the Philippines. The article says "The incident was well within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone", neglecting to point out that it's also well within the exclusive economic zones of Vietnam, Taiwan and China. So while factually correct, it's intentionally misleading to say "well within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone" like that, because that's one of many conflicting claims and it's clearly not exclusive in practice.

Wow, viewed in this light, this article is needlessly incendiary. Thanks for context.
