Colonel Tian Junli of the Air Force, spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command of China, stated that recently, multiple Philippine small aircraft illegally invaded China's airspace over Huangyan Island without the approval of the Chinese government. The Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army organizes sea and air forces to track and monitor, issue strong warnings, and resolutely drive away in accordance with laws and regulations. Huangyan Island is an inherent territory of China. We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop infringing and provoking. The troops in the theater of war remain on high alert at all times, resolutely defending national territorial sovereignty and security, as well as peace and stability in the South China Sea region.
