Despite repeated warnings and dissuasions from the Chinese side, Philippine official vessel 3006 deliberately intruded into the adjacent waters of China's Huangyan Dao, China Coast Guard (CCG) spokesperson Liu Dejun said in a statement on Friday. In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the CCG took necessary measures, including issuing warnings, tracking and monitoring, expelling the vessel, and using water cannons to alert the ship, which are all carried out in a professional, standardized, justified, and lawful manner.
The Philippine side's actions have seriously violated China's sovereignty and breached relevant provisions of international and Chinese law, Liu said. He emphasized that the Philippines' repeated provocations and harassment cannot change the fact that Huangyan Dao belongs to China. The CCG will continue to take all necessary measures in accordance with the law to firmly safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
