中国海警局新闻发言人就菲海警煽宣炒作发表谈话

Statement by China Coast Guard Spokesperson on the Philippine Coast Guard's Provocations and False Accusations

中国海警局新闻发言人刘德军表示，近日，中国海警位黄岩岛附近管辖海域内例行组织维权执法训练，并依法提前发布了航行安全通告。其间，菲方纠集大量船只冲闯中方演训区，打着“捕鱼”的幌子，企图制造事端、煽宣炒作、骗取国际关注。我们正告菲方，立即停止挑衅滋事和炒作抹黑。中国海警将依法在中国黄岩岛海域开展维权执法活动，坚决维护国家领土主权和海洋权益。

Liu Dejun, spokesperson of China Coast Guard, stated that, recently, the China Coast Guard（CCG） conducted routine rights-protection and law-enforcement training in the adjacent waters under China's jurisdiction near Huangyan Dao. The CCG had issued a navigation safety notice in advance in accordance with the law. During the training, the Philippine side assembled a large number of ships to intrude into the training area under the pretext of “fishing”, attempting to stir up trouble, sensationalize the situation and grab international attention. We warn the Philippine side to immediately cease its provocative acts and smear campaigns. The CCG will continue to carry out rights-protection and law-enforcement activities in the waters of China's Huangyan Dao in accordance with the law, and will resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
