国防部：奉劝菲方停止不择手段的政治操弄和自导自演的海上闹剧

MND Urges the Philippine Side to Stop Unscrupulous Political Manipulation and Self-directed Farce at Sea

  2月10日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

  记者：据报道，菲律宾海警发言人称，为落实所谓“新渔民英雄计划”，菲海警部署舰机向在黄岩岛附近作业的菲渔船提供安全保障，保护菲主权权利和渔民生计。请问对此有何评论？

  Question: The spokesperson for the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reportedly said that in order to advance the so-called New Hero-Fisherfolk initiative, the PCG has deployed vessels and aircraft to provide security for Philippine fishing boats operating near Huangyan Dao, protecting the Philippines' sovereign rights and the livelihoods of its fishermen. What's your comment?

  蒋斌：黄岩岛是中国固有领土，从来不在菲律宾的领土范围之内。菲方有关部门采取诱骗鼓动手段，将无辜渔民推到一线作为侵权挑衅的工具，甚至人为制造摩擦以便对中方炒作抹黑，这充分说明他们根本不在意渔民的生计福祉乃至生命安全。我们奉劝菲方停止不择手段的政治操弄和自导自演的海上闹剧。中方将持续对黄岩岛及其附近海域依法行使主权和管辖权，坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益。

  Jiang Bin: Huangyan Dao is part of China's territory and has never been within the limits of Philippine territory. Certain authorities of the Philippine side trick and instigate innocent fishermen into committing provocative acts, using them as a tool to infringe upon China's legitimate rights, and even deliberately create friction to scapegoat and smear China. Such treacherous behaviors have fully betrayed their disregard for the livelihoods, well-being, or even the safety of fishermen. We urge the Philippine side to stop its unscrupulous political manipulation and self-directed farce at sea. China will continue to exercise sovereignty and jurisdiction over Huangyan Dao and its adjacent waters in accordance with law, and resolutely defend our territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
