[Ministry of Defense: The Philippine side’s misfortune cannot change the nature of infringement and provocation] On September 24, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Jiang Bin, answered reporters’ questions. Reporter: Recently, China Coast Guard's 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 plunged into the bow of the Chinese Coast Guard boat, causing a collision. Any comment on this? Jiang Bin: The China Coast Guard has introduced the relevant situation. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. There is no room for sophistry and hype by the Philippines. The Philippine government ship provoked trouble in the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands. It adopted a dangerous method similar to "changing farewell cars" and deliberately rammed the Chinese Coast Guard ship, seriously threatening the safety of Chinese personnel and ships and seriously violating international law and basic norms of international relations. The Philippines has repeatedly cheated and spread false narratives, which cannot change the nature of infringement and provocation. China will continue to take effective measures to firmly defend its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and firmly maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
