According to WeChat official account "China Coast Guard" on October 16, the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard made a statement regarding the illegal intrusion of Philippine reconnaissance aircraft into China's airspace over the Huangyan Island.
The spokesperson of the China Coast Guard, Liu Dejun, stated that on October 16, two Philippine reconnaissance aircraft illegally entered China's airspace over the Huangyan Island. The China Coast Guard lawfully tracked, monitored, and expelled them. Recently, the Philippines has frequently sent aircraft to approach the nearby sea and air areas of the Huangyan Island under various fabricated excuses, causing trouble and provocation, seriously infringing upon China's sovereignty and disrupting regional peace and stability. We warn the Philippines to immediately stop the acts of infringement, provocation, and incitement. The Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China's territory. The China Coast Guard will continue to conduct rights protection and law enforcement activities within China's jurisdictional waters in accordance with the law, resolutely safeguarding national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
