"On Monday, without permission from the Chinese government, two U.S. destroyers, the destroyer USS Spruance and destroyer USS Preble, sailed into waters adjacent to Ren'ai Reef and Mischief Reef of China's Nansha islands. The Chinese navy, in accordance with the law, identified and verified the U.S. worships and warned them to leave. The relevant actions of the U.S. warships have infringed upon China's sovereignty and undermined peace, security and good order in relevant waters. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to such actions. China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha islands including Ren'ai Reef and Mischief Reef and their adjacent waters. China has always respected and safeguarded the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in the South China Sea in accordance with international law. However, we are firmly opposed to any country undermining the sovereignty and security of coastal states under the pretext of freedom of navigation and overflight."

"As people can see, at present, with the joint efforts made by China and ASEAN countries, the situation in South China Sea is peaceful and stable. Under such circumstances, the U.S. insisted on stirring up troubles and creating tension in the South China Sea. Such behavior is unpopular. China urges the U.S. to immediately stop such provocative actions and to respect the regional efforts to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. China will continue to take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea."
