2014年CRI 外交部回应菲律宾南海挑衅 湖北秭归发生地震

 

Foreign Ministry¹ spokesman Hong Lei says China will never allow the Philippines to occupy the Ren'ai Reef off China's Nansha Islands in any form.

He made the remarks in a written statement in response to the Philippines' action of sending a supply ship to the Ren' ai Reef with journalists on board on Saturday.

Hong Lei said the Philippines' action was aimed to hype up the South China Sea issue, so as to serve its attempt to illegally seize the Ren'ai Reef.
