Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference on July 24. In response to the Philippine ship's infringement and provocation in the waters off Huangyan Island in China, Lin Jian said that the Chinese Maritime Police Bureau has clarified the truth. Huangyan Island is an inherent territory of China, and the relevant Philippine ships deliberately broke in first. The Chinese side took necessary measures to protect its own rights and safety, reasonable and legal. The professional operating regulations on the scene were irreproachable, and the Philippines should immediately stop the infringement, provocation and hype. In particular, it should be pointed out that the Philippines has once again arranged for journalists to participate in the violation, deliberately provoking trouble and using the opportunity to artificially create tension at sea. This just proves that the Philippines is a disruptor and troublemaker of peace and stability in the South China Sea.
