Jiang Lue, spokesman for the China Maritime Police Bureau, said that on July 23, Philippine official ships, 3012 and 3018, insisted on invading the waters under the jurisdiction of China's Huangyan Island despite repeated dissuasion and warnings from the Chinese side. According to law, the Chinese maritime police took necessary measures such as surveillance and coercion, interception and control, and evicted the Philippine ship. The on-site operation was professional and standardized, and proper and legal. Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China. We urge the Philippines to immediately stop its acts of violation and provocation. The Chinese Maritime Police will continue to carry out rights protection and enforcement activities in the Huangyan Island area in accordance with the law, and resolutely uphold the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
