國防部：中方將以有力行動遏制任何禍亂南海的行徑

MND: The Chinese Side Will Take Effective Measures to Deter Any Sabotaging Moves in the South China Sea

10月16日下午，國防部新聞發言人陳曦大校就近期涉軍問題發布消息。

記者：據報道，菲方近期多次在黃岩島、仁愛礁挑釁滋事，並稱不會聽任中方在菲「領土」發號施令。菲軍方近日稱，9月在中業島、仙賓礁等相關海域監測到百餘艘中國軍艦、海警船常態活動，認為中方意在動搖菲守護自身權益的決心。請問對此有何評論？

Question：The Philippine side recently made provocations near Huangyan Dao and Ren'ai Jiao multiple times and said that it would not allow the Chinese side to dictate terms on Philippine "territory". The Philippine military claimed that they observed over a hundred Chinese warships and Coast Guard vessels maintaining regular presence in waters near Zhongye Dao and Xianbin Jiao, and that the Chinese side intended to shake the Philippines' resolve in safeguarding its rights and interests. What's your comment?

陳曦：中國對黃岩島和包括中業島、仙賓礁、仁愛礁在內的南沙群島及其附近海域擁有無可爭辯的主權，對相關海域擁有主權權利和管轄權。菲律賓的領土範圍根本不包括這些島礁，沒有資格談所謂「守護自身權益」。中方依法依規採取必要措施維護自身主權權益，正當合理，專業規範。

Chen Xi：China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Dao and Nansha Qundao, including Zhongye Dao, Xianbin Jiao and Ren'ai Jiao, and their adjacent waters, and has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over relevant waters. These islands and reefs lie outside the scope of Philippine territories. Therefore the Philippine side is not qualified to claim "safeguarding its own rights and interests". The Chinese side takes necessary measures in accordance with laws and regulations to uphold its sovereign rights. They are legitimate, reasonable, professional and standardized.

一段時間以來，菲方罔顧地區國家共同利益，拉攏域外勢力攪局生事，不斷在南海侵權挑釁，還歪曲事實、散布虛假敘事，是南海和平的破壞者和不穩定因素。中方將以堅定決心、有力行動遏制任何禍亂南海的行徑，維護地區和平穩定。

For some time, the Philippine side has been rallying external forces to stir up troubles in the South China Sea at the expense of the common interests of regional countries. It continues to make provocations violating others' sovereignty and distort facts to spread false narratives, which makes itself a destroyer of peace and a destabilizing factor in the South China Sea. The Chinese side will take resolute and effective measures to deter any sabotaging moves in the South China Sea, and uphold regional peace and stability.
