China Coast Guard Spokesperson Gan Yu made a statement on the Philippines’ illegal intrusion into Ren’ai Reef – Xinhuanet
China Coast Guard spokesperson Gan Yu said that on November 10, two small transport ships and three coast guard ships from the Philippines entered the waters adjacent to Ren’ai Reef in China’s Nansha Islands without permission from the Chinese government. The Chinese Coast Guard follows Philippine ships in accordance with the law, takes control measures, and makes temporary special arrangements for the Philippines to transport food and other necessary daily supplies. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Second Thomas Shoal, and its adjacent waters. The Philippines’ actions violate China’s territorial sovereignty, violate the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and violate its own commitments. We urge the Philippines to immediately stop its infringing actions. The China Coast Guard will continue to carry out rights protection and law enforcement activities in waters under China’s jurisdiction in accordance with the law and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
