According to Shangguan News, Philippine Armed Forces Chief of Staff Browner pointed out that two Chinese Air Force fighter jets took dangerous actions when flying over Huangyan Island. Philippine President Marcos condemned this behavior, calling it "illegal and reckless." So, what is China's response? Can you provide more background information? Do China and the Philippines plan to ease tensions through talks?

Lin Jian said that Huangyan Island is China's inherent territory and China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Island and its surrounding sea and airspace. He pointed out that the Philippine military aircraft entered the airspace near Huangyan Island twice, which is a serious violation of China's sovereignty and violates international law and basic norms of international relations. While the Chinese military took necessary measures in accordance with the law, its operating procedures were professional and standardized, in line with Chinese domestic law and international law.

The Southern Theater Command recently organized a joint patrol in the sea and airspace near Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, with the main purpose of testing the troops' capabilities in reconnaissance and early warning, rapid mobility and joint strikes. Previously, the Southern Theater Command announced that it would conduct military exercises in the waters near Huangyan Island. However, a military aircraft of the Philippine Air Force entered the airspace of Huangyan Island without permission, showing that the Philippines attempted to provoke on the issue of Huangyan Island and tried to declare its so-called "sovereignty" by sending military aircraft. What is noteworthy is that the Philippines then claimed that China had engaged in improper behavior in an attempt to confuse the public.
