The reef is located approximately 375 kilometers west of Palawan, Philippines, and is claimed by China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Over the years, Fiery Cross Reef has been the subject of significant attention due to its strategic location and the contentious territorial disputes surrounding it. China, in particular, has undertaken extensive land reclamation and construction activities on the reef, transforming it into an artificial island.
