The Chinese army stated that it warned and left three Philippine aircraft, which on Thursday infiltrate the airspace of “illegally infiltration” near the Spratly Islands.
No immediate comments were made from the Philippine Embassy in Beijing on the Chinese army statement released on Friday. China’s Southern Theater Command accused the Philippine’s side of trying to try “illegal claims” “illegal claims” through provocation and warned that “clumsy manner was wasted for failure.”
China claims that almost the entire South China Sea, an important waterway for more than 3 trillion dollars of sovereign, annual ship-borne commerce, put it on obstacles with Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam.
The 2016 arbitration decision rejected China’s claim for expansion, but does not recognize the Beijing decision. On Thursday, the Philippines stated that its Coast Guard and Fisheries Bureau jointly carried out a piracy awareness flight named Philippine for the Spratly Islands, the Kalayan Islands.
The mission was to claim the sovereign, sovereign rights of the Philippines and marine jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. More than 50 Chinese marine militia ships and a Chinese coast guard were seen during exercise.
It was not immediately clear whether the mission that deployed two aircraft, what a Chinese army said, replied. The Philippine Coast Guard made the latest confrontation after accusing the Chinese Navy of hazardous flight exercises earlier this week, when flew close to a government aircraft for Scarborough Shul in the South China Sea.
Beijing disputed the account.
