The spokesperson Zhang Han made the statement at a press conference in Beijing in response to a media query about Taiwan leader Lai Ching-te's recent separatist remarks. "The maritime areas where Japan and the Philippines have announced for delimitation are located east of China's Taiwan Island. China has exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in this area. Japan and the Philippines bypassing China to initiate the so-called maritime delimitation talks constitutes a severe violation of UNCLOS and other international laws and basic norms governing international relations. It also seriously infringes on China's maritime rights and interests. The relevant departments on the mainland conducting the law enforcement patrols in relevant waters in full accordance with the law is justified and necessary, and it is a just move to safeguard national sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," she said. "The DPP authorities have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to infringement activities of Japan and the Philippines. Instead, they have seized the opportunity to widely spread separatist fallacies of 'Taiwan secession' and incite 'anti-China' sentiments. They have become accomplices of external forces in undermining the overall interests of the Chinese nation, acting in a despicable and shameless manner and will surely be held accountable," she said.
