In the early morning of October 20, the US coastal combat ship “Charleston” broke into the waters off Xianbin Reef in China's Spratly Islands without permission from the Chinese government. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Southern War Zone Navy organized forces to follow up and monitor according to law and regulations. China has undisputed sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and the surrounding waters. The actions of the US side infringe on China's sovereign rights and interests, threaten maritime security, and are not conducive to regional peace and stability. The US side should immediately stop related activities. The war zone forces maintain a high level of alert at all times to defend the country's sovereignty and security, and maintain regional peace and stability.
