In response to the Australian Foreign Minister's remarks, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian said in response to questions at a regular press conference on the 22nd that the Chinese side has stated its strict position on Philippine personnel maliciously attacking Chinese law enforcement personnel. The countries concerned are ignoring the basic facts of Philippine infringement and provocation, attacking and accusing China for no reason, and continuing to stir up the illegal and invalid so-called “South China Sea Arbitration Ruling.” China resolutely opposes this. Thanks to the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the current situation in the South China Sea is generally stable. The Philippine side's deliberate violation of rights and provocation is the root cause of tension at sea. Lin Jian said that the countries concerned are not parties to the South China Sea issue and have no right to intervene in sea-related issues between the countries concerned. Anyone with a clear eye can see that the sea is full of wind and turbulence. No matter how indiscriminate it is, it has always been a small group of countries that have come out with great fanfare against China. Whether their purpose was to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, or if they only feared that the South China Sea would not be in chaos, it was already self-evident.
