中国海警局新闻发言人就菲位南海多点生事、蓄意挑衅发表谈话
Statement by Spokesperson for the China Coast Guard on the Philippine Side's Deliberate Provocations at Multiple Points in the South China Sea
中国海警局新闻发言人姜略表示，7月24日，菲律宾组织7艘公务船、3艘海警舰、1艘运鱼船，并唆使大量渔船位中国黄岩岛管辖海域非法聚集。其间，菲3001、3005、3017三艘公务船不顾中国海警一再劝阻和警告，执意侵闯中国黄岩岛领海。中国海警依法对菲侵权船只采取喊话警告、拦阻管制、水炮喷射等必要措施予以坚决驱离，现场操作专业规范、正当合法。菲继7月20日位仁爱礁暴力袭击中国海警执法人员后，又连续两天派舰船侵闯中国黄岩岛管辖海域，在南海多点生事、蓄意挑衅，严重侵犯中方主权和海洋权益，严重破坏南海和平稳定。我们正告菲方立即停止侵权挑衅行径，否则由此产生的一切后果由菲方承担。中国海警将持续依法在中国管辖海域开展维权执法活动，坚决维护国家领土主权和海洋权益。
Jiang Lue, spokesperson for the China Coast Guard (CCG), stated that on July 24, the Philippine side organized seven public vessels, three coast guard ships and one fish transport ship, and egged on a large number of fishing boats to illegally assemble in the waters under China’s jurisdiction at Huangyan Dao. During this period, three Philippine public vessels—MMOV 3001, MMOV 3005 and MMOV 3017—ignored repeated dissuasion and warnings from the CCG and obstinately intruded into the territorial waters of China’s Huangyan Dao. The CCG took necessary countermeasures in accordance with the law against the Philippine rights-violation vessels, including verbal warnings, blocking, and shooting water cannons, to resolutely expel them. The on-site operations were professional, standardized, legitimate and lawful. Following its violent assault on CCG law enforcement personnel at Ren’ai Jiao on July 20, the Philippine side has, for two consecutive days, sent ships to intrude into the waters under China’s jurisdiction at Huangyan Dao. It is stirring up troubles at multiple points in the South China Sea and deliberately making provocations, which seriously violates China’s sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and severely undermines peace and stability in the South China Sea. We caution the Philippine side to immediately stop its rights-violation and provocative acts. Otherwise, the Philippine side shall bear responsibility for all consequences arising therefrom. The CCG will continue to carry out rights-protection and law-enforcement operations in accordance with the law in the waters under China’s jurisdiction, and resolutely safeguard China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
