中国人民解放军南部战区位中国黄岩岛领海领空及周边区域组织战备警巡

The PLA Southern Theater Command Conducts Combat Readiness Patrols in the Territorial Sea and Airspace of China’s Huangyan Dao and Its Surrounding Areas

10月30日，中国人民解放军南部战区组织海空兵力位中国黄岩岛领海领空及周边海空域开展战备警巡，这是对菲方侵权挑衅行径的必要反制。黄岩岛是中国固有领土。10月份以来，战区部队组织海空兵力持续加强黄岩岛领海周边海空域巡逻警戒，进一步强化有关海空域管控力度，有力有效应对各类侵权挑衅行径，坚决捍卫国家主权安全，坚定维护南海地区和平稳定。

On October 30, naval and air units of the PLA Southern Theater Command (STC) conducted readiness patrols in the territorial sea and airspace of China’s Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas. This is a necessary countermeasure in response to the Philippines’ rights-violation and provocative acts. Huangyan Dao is China’s inherent territory. Since October, forces of the STC have strengthened readiness patrols in the territorial sea and airspace of Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas. Such patrols are aimed at further enhancing control and management over relevant waters and airspace, and serve as an effective countermeasure to cope with all sorts of rights-violation and provocative acts. Forces of the STC will resolutely safeguard China’s sovereignty and security and firmly uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea.
