Beijing News: According to the official WeChat account of the Chinese Coast Guard, Gan Yu, a spokesperson for the China Coast Guard, said that on August 19, the Philippines, despite repeated dissuasion and warnings from China, insisted on sending Coast Guard ships No. 4410 and No. 4411 to illegally enter the waters near Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands. During this period, the Philippine Coast Guard ship No. 4410 deliberately collided with the Chinese Coast Guard ship that was normally safeguarding rights and enforcing the law, and then illegally rushed into the waters near Ren'ai Reef in China's Nansha Islands, which was extremely bad. The Chinese Coast Guard monitored and effectively controlled the Philippine ship in accordance with the law and regulations throughout the process, and the Chinese side's on-site operations were professional, standardized, reasonable and legal. The Philippines' actions seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty, seriously violated the "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea", and seriously undermined regional peace and stability. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Xianbin Reef and Ren'ai Reef, and their surrounding waters. The Chinese Coast Guard will continue to carry out rights protection and law enforcement activities in China's jurisdictional waters in accordance with the law, resolutely thwart all infringement and provocative acts, and resolutely safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
