CCTV News: According to the WeChat public account of "Southern Theater Command", the spokesperson of the Southern Theater Command, Air Force Colonel Tian Junli, said that on February 20, the Philippines' two C-208 aircraft and one N-22 aircraft illegally broke into the airspace near China's Nansha Islands and reefs. The Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army has mastered the entire process and warned and drove away. Recently, the Philippines has ignored the facts and repeatedly stigmatized China's legitimate and legal rights protection behavior. On February 18, a C-208 aircraft of the Philippines illegally broke into China's Huangyan Island airspace, changed its flight altitude several times, and dropped by 920 meters in 218 seconds. In an unprofessional and dangerous manner, we deliberately crossed the helicopter altitude layer in the air normally, which was very likely to cause uninspection in sea and air. The Philippines also bit back and falsely claimed that China's behavior was "dangerous". The Philippines provoked trouble first and reversed black and white later, and tried to sell its illegal claims. We warn the Philippines that such clumsy tricks are destined to be useless. The theater troops remain highly vigilant and resolutely defend national sovereignty and security and peace and stability in the South China Sea region.
