He made the remarks in response to media reports that Philippine official vessels have repeatedly intruded into the waters under the jurisdiction of China's Huangyan Dao, and that the China Coast Guard has expelled them in accordance with the law. The Philippines, the United States, and Japan have also conducted so-called joint patrols in the relevant waters. "Defense and security cooperation between relevant countries should not target any third party or undermine regional peace and stability. Huangyan Dao has always been China's territory. The scope of the Philippine territory is defined by several international treaties. China's Huangyan Dao lies beyond the limits of the Philippine territory. No matter what tricks the Philippines plays or who it ropes in for support, this objective fact cannot be changed, and its illegal attempts will not succeed," Jiang said. "The Chinese military remains on high alert and will resolutely counter any infringement or provocation. It will take concrete actions to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and uphold peace and stability in the South China Sea," he said.
