Today, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. Some reporters asked questions about recent incidents and provocation by a number of Philippine ships insisting on going to Sembin Reef. Guo Jiakun said that China's adoption of necessary measures to protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests is reasonable, legal, and professional restraint, which is irreproachable. The Philippines should immediately stop infringing, provocation and propaganda, stop endlessly staging self-written and self-directed maritime farce, and not challenge China's firm determination to protect its own sovereignty and rights.
