On the afternoon of Aug. 7, Ministry of National Defense spokesman Senior Colonel Chen Xi said Huangyan Island is China’s inherent territory and that China has continuously, peacefully and effectively exercised sovereignty and jurisdiction there. Chen said China is the only state entitled under international law to declare territorial sea baselines for Huangyan Island. He described recent Philippine actions as a serious infringement of China’s territorial sovereignty, a grave violation of international law and basic norms of international relations, and therefore illegal and invalid. Chen said China’s organization of training and drills is a stern warning against Philippine provocations and a necessary, lawful measure to safeguard Huangyan Island’s sovereignty and rights.
