Xinhua News Agency, October 14 report: "The U.S. Department of State condemned China's dangerous actions in the South China Sea and supported the Philippines' countermeasures."
The United States' incitement exposes its intention to disrupt the South China Sea. The day before the U.S. made its statement, Philippine vessels once again intentionally provoked and caused trouble in the South China Sea, clearly backed and encouraged by the United States behind the scenes. China's adoption of necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights is entirely just and reasonable.
Recently, the Sino-U.S. trade dispute has escalated. Not only did the U.S. threaten to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods, but it also proposed arms supplies and military exercises for Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait. Now, it is inciting the Philippines to cause trouble in the South China Sea, trying to apply pressure on China from multiple fronts. However, China's determination to safeguard national interests is unwavering. In areas such as trade, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea, China will carry out effective countermeasures and will not allow the U.S. to achieve its goals.
