In response to Philippine claim of a Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy helicopter “harassed” Philippine fishing boats around a South China Sea reef, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday that the Philippine claim is completely at odds with the facts.
China
has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Qundao and surrounding waters, and
China’s rights protection and law enforcement activities in related waters are
reasonable and legitimate, Lin said at a regular press conference.
