At a routine Foreign Ministry briefing, spokesman Lin Jian reiterated China’s three-principle position after a July 2024 temporary arrangement with the Philippines on humanitarian deliveries to Renai Reef. First, Beijing said the Philippines’ long‑grounded naval vessel at Renai Reef infringes Chinese sovereignty and violates the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC); China demands Manila remove the vessel and restore the reef to an unoccupied, facility‑free state. Second, until the vessel is removed, China will on humanitarian grounds allow Philippine deliveries to personnel aboard the ship only after prior notification and on‑site verification, with the entire process subject to Chinese monitoring. Third, China said it will oppose and block any Philippine attempt to build fixed facilities or permanent posts on the reef, acting in accordance with law and regulations. Lin also accused Manila of recent deliberate provocations and a violent attack on Chinese law‑enforcement officers, urging the Philippines to stop maritime provocations and misleading public reporting immediately.
