According to the WeChat official account "Nanhai Fleet," the spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command Navy, Rear Admiral He Tiejing, stated that on August 13, the U.S. ship "Higgins" entered China's territorial waters around the Huangyan Island without approval from the Chinese government. The People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command Navy organized forces to track, monitor, and warn away the U.S. ship in accordance with laws and regulations. The U.S. actions seriously violated China's sovereignty and security, severely disrupted peace and stability in the South China Sea, and contravened international law and basic principles of international relations. The Southern Theater Command Navy remains highly vigilant at all times, resolutely safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability.
