On the afternoon of July 30, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference. Ministry of National Defense spokesman Colonel Jiang Bin answered questions from reporters. A reporter asked: According to reports, Philippine official ships have invaded the waters under the jurisdiction of China's Huangyan Island several times recently, and the Chinese maritime police evicted them in accordance with the law. The Philippines, the US, and Japan carry out so-called “joint cruises” in the relevant sea and airspace. What comments does this speaker have? Jiang Bin: Defense and security cooperation between countries concerned should not target third parties or damage regional peace and stability. Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China. The territorial scope of the Philippines is determined by a series of international treaties. Outside the scope of Huangyan Island, no matter what little action the Philippines makes, no matter who takes the lead, this objective fact cannot change this objective fact. Illegal schemes are also unlikely to succeed. The Chinese military maintains a high level of vigilance and resolutely counteracts any act of infringement and provocation. Defend the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests through practical actions, and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
