China: Advise the United States not to use the Philippines as a pawn to disrupt the situation in the South China Sea. China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including Ren'ai Reef, and its adjacent waters.
The Chinese Coast Guard took necessary law enforcement measures in accordance with the law against the Philippines' infringement and provocation. The Second Thomas Shoal issue is a bilateral issue between China and the Philippines. Any third party, including the U.S., should not take the opportunity to provoke it, let alone intervene.
