Beijing, August 21 /Xinhua/ — The Southern Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army of China (Southern Theater Command of the PLA) on Friday tracked and issued warnings to three Philippine aircraft that illegally intruded into the airspace over China’s Huangyan Island without permission from the Chinese government, said Li Jianjian, a representative of the Southern Theater Command’s Air Force.
Li Jianjian noted that the actions of the Philippines seriously violate China’s sovereignty and can easily lead to misunderstandings and misjudgments.
This representative called on the Philippines to immediately cease actions and provocations that violate China’s rights, adding that the militarized units of the South Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army are on high alert to defend the country’s sovereignty and security, as well as peace and stability in the region. -0-
