[Spokesperson of the China Coast Guard made a statement on the collision of a Philippine ship with a Chinese Coast Guard boat] On September 18, China Coast Guard spokesperson Jiang Lue said that on September 18, the China Coast Guard Sanzhou Australian boat carried out rights protection and law enforcement operations in the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands in accordance with the law. The Philippine ship No. 3015 ignored China's repeated solemn warnings, deliberately adjusted its course, and suddenly accelerated and pierced the bow of the Chinese Coast Guard boat, causing a collision. The Philippines' actions seriously violated international law and basic norms governing international relations, and threatened the safety of Chinese Coast Guard vessels and personnel. The operation of China Coast Guard boats is professional, standardized, reasonable and legal, and the relevant responsibility lies entirely with the Philippines. We are hereby telling the Philippines to immediately stop all infringing and provocative acts, otherwise the Philippines will bear all consequences arising therefrom. The China Coast Guard will continue to carry out rights protection and law enforcement operations in waters under China's jurisdiction to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
