國防部警告菲方：立即停止侵權與虛假敘事

MND Warns the Philippine Side: Immediately Stop Its Rights-infringing and False Narratives

2月27日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：據報道，菲方稱中國海軍軍機對其公務機進行了危險的飛行動作，并表示這種魯莽的行動對飛行員和乘客的安全構成了嚴重威脅。請問對此有何評論？

Question: The Philippine side claimed that a PLAN aircraft took dangerous maneuvers against its public service aircraft, and that this reckless action posed a serious risk to the safety of the pilots and passengers. Do you have any comment on this?

吳謙：這件事的真相是非常清楚的，菲方公務機攜帶大量媒體，悍然侵入中國黃巖島領空挑釁碰瓷，并對我正常巡航的海軍直升機造成威脅，這是造成雙方海空安全風險的根源所在。需要指出的是，違反國際法侵闖他國領空才是最大的魯莽、最本質的不負責任。我們要求菲方立即停止侵權與虛假敘事，與中方相向而行，共同維護南海和平穩定。

Wu Qian: The fact about this incident is very clear. The Philippine public service aircraft, with many journalists aboard, barged into China’s airspace over Huangyan Dao to provoke and play the victim. Its provocation posed threats to our helicopter which was on a routine patrol, and was the real cause of air and maritime safety risks in this encounter. I need to point out that intruding into other countries’ airspace in breach of international law is more reckless and irresponsible than anything else. We require the Philippine side to immediately stop its rights-infringing, stop spreading false narratives, and work with the Chinese side for peace and stability in the South China Sea.
