Economic Observation Network According to CCTV News App, Navy Colonel Zhai Shichen, spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, stated that on October 3rd, a C-208 aircraft from the Philippines illegally intruded into China's airspace over Huangyan Island without the approval of the Chinese government. The Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army organizes sea and air forces to track, monitor, warn and drive away in accordance with laws and regulations. Huangyan Island is an inherent territory of China. The actions of the Philippines seriously infringe upon China's sovereignty and are highly likely to trigger maritime and air accidents. We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop infringing and provoking. The troops in the theater of war remain on high alert at all times, resolutely defending national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability.
