On October 15, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked about the dangerous way Philippine official ships sail in the waters under China's jurisdiction. Mao Ning said that as far as I know, the real situation is that Philippine official ships sailed dangerously in the waters under China's jurisdiction and collided with Chinese fishing boats operating normally in those waters. The above actions by the Philippine side infringe on China's sovereignty and seriously threaten the safety of Chinese fishing boats and personnel. China urges the Philippines to earnestly respect China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea and stop any actions that complicate the situation.
