The Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference on the afternoon of April 27. The spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, answered reporters’ questions and said that China’s policy on the South China Sea Islands and its China has indisputable sovereignty over the adjacent waters and has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the relevant waters.

China's infrastructure construction and deployment of necessary defensive forces on islands and reefs in the South China Sea is an exercise of national sovereignty in accordance with the law, which is completely legitimate and legitimate, and other countries have no right to make irresponsible remarks on this.

China has repeatedly expressed its serious concerns about the new use of US military bases in the Philippines.

At present, the United States continues to strengthen its military deployment in the South China Sea and deliberately pushes up the tension in the region. Countries in the region should maintain high vigilance against this.

The Chinese military will, as always, resolutely defend the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and resolutely maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
