The USS Higgins destroyer on Wednesday illegally intruded into the territorial waters of China's Huangyan Dao without authorization from the Chinese government. The navy of the PLA Southern Theater Command mobilized forces to monitor, issue warnings and expel the vessel in accordance with laws and regulations, said Senior Captain He Tiecheng, a spokesperson for the navy of the PLA Southern Theater Command.
US military's actions have severely violated China's sovereignty and security, seriously undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea, and breached international law and the basic norms of international relations. The naval forces of the PLA Southern Theater Command remain on high alert at all times, resolutely defending national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability, He said.
