Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over the regular press conference on September 3. A reporter asked a question. According to reports, a spokesman for Vietnam's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently issued a statement saying that Vietnam has sovereignty over the Xisha Islands. Without Vietnam's permission, all foreign activities in the Xisha Islands, including Antelope Reef and Agong Island, are completely illegal and null. Serious negotiations have been made in this regard, demanding the immediate cessation of related activities to ensure that they do not happen again. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Guo Jiakun said: The Xisha Islands are an inherent part of China's territory, and there is no dispute. It is within the scope of China's sovereignty to carry out necessary construction on its own territory; Vietnam has no right to say anything.
