A recent incident in the South China Sea has sparked firm words from Zhao Zhiwei, a spokesperson for the People’s Liberation Army Southern Theater Command. According to his statement, a Philippine vessel illegally entered the territorial waters near Huangyan Island, prompting the PLA to monitor, warn, and expel the vessel in strict accordance with the law.
Zhao emphasized that such infringements severely violate China’s sovereignty and contravene both Chinese law and relevant international law. He warned that if provocations continue, serious consequences will follow. ⚠️
In our fast-paced, tech-driven world where news reaches us in seconds, this update is a reminder that maintaining peace and stability in our regional waters is as important as keeping up with the latest gadgets and trends across South and Southeast Asia.
