On the afternoon of February 27, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Colonel Wu Qian, director of the Ministry of National Defense News Bureau and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions from reporters.
Reporter: According to reports, the Philippines said that the Chinese Navy aircraft carried out dangerous flight operations on its business aircraft and said that such reckless actions pose a serious threat to the safety of pilots and passengers. What is your comment on this?
Wu Qian: The truth of this matter is very clear. Philippine business jets carried a large number of media and blatantly invaded China's Huangyan Island airspace to provoke and pose a threat to the naval helicopters that I cruised normally. This is the root cause of the sea and air security risks between both sides. It should be pointed out that invading the airspace of other countries in violation of international law is the greatest recklessness and the most essential irresponsibility. We ask the Philippines to immediately stop infringement and false narratives, move with China, and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
