Beijing, July 23 /Xinhua/ — The actions of the China Coast Guard (CCG) to expel two Philippine government vessels that intruded into China’s territorial waters near Huangyan Island on Thursday were professional, standardized, justified, and lawful. This was stated on Thursday by CCG official spokesman Jiang Lüe.
According to him, two Philippine official vessels ignored numerous warnings from the Chinese side before deliberately entering the respective waters.
In accordance with the law, BOC has taken the necessary measures, including monitoring, interception, and displacement, Jiang Lue added.
Juan Yan Island is an integral part of China’s territory, said Jiang Lue, calling on the Philippine side to immediately cease encroaching on China’s rights and provocative actions.
Jiang Lue emphasized that the China Coast Guard will continue to conduct human rights protection and law enforcement activities in the waters near Huangyan Island in accordance with the law, firmly defending the country’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. -0-
