GUANGZHOU, March 20 (Xinhua) — Zhai Shichen, spokesperson for the Southern Zone Combat Command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), on Friday warned the Philippines to immediately stop violations and provocative actions after a Philippine C-208 aircraft illegally entered the airspace over waters adjacent to the Meiji Reef in China's Nansha Islands without the approval of the Chinese government.
Zhai Shichen said the naval and air forces of the combat command zone had been tracking and monitoring the Philippine aircraft, issuing a warning to deport it in accordance with laws and regulations.
The official representative emphasized that the Philippine side's actions constitute a serious violation of China's sovereignty.
“We strongly warn the Philippine side to immediately stop its illegal actions and provocations and work together with China to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea,” Zhai Shichen said. –0–
