During January, the Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army continuously organized maritime and air forces to conduct combat readiness patrols in the territorial waters and airspace of China's Huangyan Island and the surrounding sea and air areas. A diagram obtained by Tan Zhu from an insider shows that the Southern Theater Command's H-6K bombers and fighter jets formed a formation and flew to the airspace of Huangyan Island, then patrolled the southeastern airspace.

Public information shows that recently the Philippines has designated a military exercise area, including China's Huangyan Island within its control scope, covering our territorial waters and airspace, seriously infringing upon China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, which is entirely illegal. The Southern Theater Command organizing aircraft to cross the area designated by the Philippines reflects China's actual jurisdiction over the territorial waters and airspace of Huangyan Island, and the exercise area designated by the Philippine side is illegal and invalid.
