On Sept. 24 China Coast Guard spokesman Jiang Lue said the Philippines breached trust and ignored Chinese warnings by sending a resupply vessel to the illegally grounded Ren'ai Reef. The Coast Guard said it conducted on-site monitoring and radio warnings against the Philippine resupply vessel. It accused Manila of taking provocative action during a Chinese holiday and of hyping the incident, saying this seriously violated the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and undermined regional peace and stability. China warned the Philippines to cease provocations and said the Coast Guard will lawfully carry out rights-protection enforcement in the Nansha (Spratly) Islands and adjacent waters, including Ren'ai Reef, to resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights.
