Philippines bringing reporters aboard ship proves itself SABOTEUR! China spox replies to CNN

CNN: On the subject of the South China Sea. A CNN team aboard a Philippine vessel witnessed a China Coast Guard ship coming within seven meters of a Philippine ship while hitting it with a water cannon. The Philippine Coast Guard has condemned the China Coast Guard for what it says are “illegal, coercive, aggressive and deceptive actions.” Our question is, how does the foreign ministry respond?

Lin Jian: China Coast Guard has set the record straight on the Philippine vessels’ infringement activities and provocations in the waters of China’s Huangyan Dao. Huangyan Dao is China’s inherent territory. Philippine vessels deliberately intruded into the waters, and it’s legitimate and lawful for China to take necessary measures to defend our rights and security. Our actions are professional, standard, and beyond reproach. The Philippines must immediately stop infringing upon China’s rights, and stop the provocations and publicity stunts. Let me stress that, the Philippines again brought reporters on board in its latest infringement activities and provocations and created tensions at sea by playing up the issue, proving itself to be the saboteur of the peace and stability in the South China Sea and the troublemaker in the region.

Bloomberg: In a phone call on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump assured Philippine leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that he would take up Manila’s concerns regarding China when he meets with Chinese leader in the upcoming visit. Does China have any comment on President Trump’s commitment to raise the issue with the Chinese leader?

Lin Jian: The U.S. is not a party to the South China Sea issue. As has been proven, those who turn to countries outside the region to start provocations will inevitably become tools and bear the consequences of their own making.
