The China Coast Guard (CCG) on Tuesday conducted law enforcement patrols over the territorial waters of China's #HuangyanDao# and its surrounding areas. In a statement, the CCG said it has intensified law enforcement patrols in the territorial waters of Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas since June, and regulated ships engaged in illegal rights-violation activities in accordance with laws and regulations. "Such patrols are meant to further strengthen the orderly management of relevant waters and resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," it said. #SouthChinaSea#

#China# Coast Guard vessel was conducting routine law enforcement activity near China’s Ren’ai Jiao on July 20 when two boats from the illegally grounded Philippine warship deliberately closed in and rammed into the CCG vessel in a dangerous manner and violently attacked the Chinese personnel on board, forcing them to react firmly yet lawfully. After the incident, the #Philippines# distorted facts, falsely accused the Chinese side, and spread disinformation. China strongly deplores and firmly rejects the Philippines’ moves.
