According to the WeChat official account of "China Coast Guard", a spokesperson for the China Coast Guard Bureau made a speech on the Philippines' insistence on invading the territorial waters of Huangyan Island.
China Coast Guard spokesman Liu Dejun said that on June 20, the Philippines' official ship No. 3006 insisted on approaching and invading China's territorial waters in Huangyan Island, despite China's repeated dissuasion and warnings. In accordance with the "Coast Guard Law" and the "Provisions on Administrative Law Enforcement Procedures of Coast Guard Organizations", the Chinese Coast Guard gradually took necessary measures such as shouting and warnings, follow-up imprisonment, and water cannon warnings to drive away the Philippine ships. The on-site operation is professional, standardized and legitimate. The Philippines' behavior seriously violates China's sovereignty and seriously violates international law and relevant provisions of Chinese laws. The Philippines' frequent provocations and nuisances cannot change the fact that Huangyan Island belongs to China. The Chinese Coast Guard will take all necessary measures in accordance with the law to resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
