According to the Beijing News, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian recently stressed that Huangyan Island is China's inherent territory and China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Island and its surrounding sea and air space. Philippine military aircraft entered the airspace near Huangyan Island twice, seriously infringing China's sovereignty and violating international law and the basic norms of international relations. The Chinese military took necessary countermeasures in accordance with the law, which were professional and in compliance with Chinese domestic law and international law in the on-site operation. It is worth noting that the Philippines sent military aircraft into the airspace of China's Huangyan Island during the so-called joint cruise in the South China Sea with the United States, Australia and Canada, which was a provocative act with ulterior motives. China has solemnly warned the Philippines to immediately stop its provocative behavior in Huangyan Island and not to continue to act recklessly.

On the morning of the 8th, a NC-212 military aircraft of the Philippine Air Force flew near Huangyan Island. Since the sovereignty of Huangyan Island belongs to China, and the Philippines has historically attempted to occupy the island by force, this flight was seen as an obvious provocation. Under this circumstance, the Chinese People's Liberation Army dispatched two military aircraft to monitor and drive away the aircraft, and dropped jamming bombs near the route of the Philippine military aircraft. According to the explanation of the Southern Theater Command, the Philippines has repeatedly ignored China's warnings. Obviously, China does not want to take tough measures, but due to the continued provocation of the Philippines, China has to take corresponding actions to protect Huangyan Island.
