Behind this act is the instigation and support of the Philippines and its backer, the United States. The Philippines has been a spoiler in the South China Sea dispute, while the United States has always sided with the Philippines, increasing its military presence and conducting joint Xi exercises with the Philippines. The US warship's intrusion into China's waters is undoubtedly a serious violation of China's sovereignty and security.

FaceU.S. militaryOur side not only immediately expressed a tough attitude, but also demonstrated its strength through practical actions. China's Southern Theater issued a statement, stressing the need to "organize maritime forces to follow and monitor the whole process," and pointed out that the United States deliberately interfered in the South China Sea and seriously violated China's sovereignty and security, while reaffirming China's indisputable sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao and its adjacent waters.

As one of the parties to the South China Sea dispute, the Philippines has been taking a provocative stance on the South China Sea issue. The Philippines has tried to weaken China's legitimate rights and interests in the South China Sea through unilateral arbitration cases and cooperation with the United States. This time the US ship broke inSecond Thomas ReefThe adjacent waters have been supported and instigated by the Philippines.
The Philippines' misconception lies in the fact that they ignore the history and realities of the South China Sea and try to internationalize the South China Sea issue. In fact, the South China Sea issue is an issue involving sovereignty and territorial disputes, which should be resolved by the sovereign countries concerned through dialogue and consultation. It is widely accepted in the international community that the arbitration case unilaterally initiated by the Philippines violates the principles of international law and does not help in resolving the South China Sea issue. The Philippines has also mistakenly chosen the path of joining forces with the United States to confront China. The Philippines hopes to rely on the power of the United States to resolve the South China Sea issue as a way to weaken China's influence in the South China Sea. However, the real purpose of the United States is not to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, but to realize its own geopolitical interests. By tying itself to the United States, the Philippines will only bring more trouble for itself.
China** and its armed forces resolutely defend China's sovereignty and security in the South China Sea. We have a legitimate historical and legal basis to assert our territorial and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. We have taken firm action to preserve our sovereignty through patrols, surveillance, etc. If someone provokes our bottom line, we will resolutely fight back.
China is committed to resolving disputes in the South China Sea through dialogue and consultation, maintains that all disputes should be resolved between countries directly concerned, and firmly opposes the internationalization of disputes and the resolution of disputes by force. We call on relevant countries to abide by international law and relevant agreements and jointly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. Finally, we should be right to the United StatesNavyBreak-inSecond Thomas ReefWe strongly condemn the actions in the adjacent waters, and at the same time criticize the provocations and misconceptions of the Philippines. We believe that through our efforts and persistence, the South China Sea will become a place of stability for regional peace and cooperation.
