Zhao said that the actions of the Philippine side have seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and violated relevant provisions of Chinese laws and international law,

"We solemnly warn the Philippine side to immediately cease infringement and provocation. Otherwise, all consequences arising therefrom will be borne by the Philippine side." he said.

"The troops of the Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command will remain on high alert to resolutely defend China's national sovereignty and security, and resolutely maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region," the spokesperson added. Robina Asido/DMS
