The 6,000-meter restricted waters around Taiping Island apply. Although the relevant US and Chinese ships have not entered our restricted waters, due to the approach of other countries' ships to the vicinity of the island, the island has ordered a heightened alert, and the maritime patrol is closely working with the military stationed on the island. Pay attention to the development of the situation in the surrounding sea areas, report to the Coast Guard Zhenhai Command Post, and report real-time war situations through the Navy's joint system.

The public affairs commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet stated on the third day that the destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) complied with international law and conducted a freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) near the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea to advocate navigation rights and freedoms; the USS Dewey conducted operations in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam alleges that it conducts harmless navigation in the waters it claims. This behavior safeguards the rights recognized by international law and is the free and legal use of the ocean.

When will China normalize FONOP around US bases?

Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPs) are a complex and politically sensitive aspect of international maritime law and relations. The decision to conduct FONOPs around U.S. bases, or any other location, is typically based on a country's assessment of its national interests, international law, and its relations with other countries. As far as I'm, aware, China had not conducted FONOPs in close proximity to U.S. bases.

A decision to conduct FONOPs are influenced by a variety of factors, including political, security, and diplomatic considerations. Whether or when China decides to normalize FONOPs around U.S. bases or elsewhere is a matter for the Chinese government to determine.

Concerns related to FONOPs and their impact on regional and global stability are typically addressed through diplomatic channels and negotiations among concerned parties.

This is correct. There is a reason China constructs island bases while the US conducts FONOPs and it has nothing to do with principles of sovereignty or anything like that. It's because that's how they advance their respective positions in the region. The actions you take to change the status quo are different from the actions you take to freeze it.

China can do it, but why should they? FONOP is a joke, why copy bad strategy of opponents?

In my opinion China should shake the status quo, but in a way better than FONOP. They can start with asserting soverignty in disputed territory.
