    Chen Xi, spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense China's Ministry of National Defense on Friday urged the Philippine side to immediately stop its illegitimate acts violating China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and stop its provocations and propaganda, and vowed to take firm and effective countermeasures against any provocative attempts to make waves and stir up troubles in the South China Sea.  
Chen Xi, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to media inquiry about claims by Philippine National Maritime Council that drills by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command in the territorial waters and airspace of China's Huangyan Dao as well as its surrounding areas are "deemed illegal" after the Philippines deposited its so-called official nautical chart of Huangyan Dao and its surrounding maritime zones with the United Nations (UN). 
Huangyan Dao is China's inherent territory. China has continuously, peacefully and effectively exercised sovereignty and jurisdiction over Huangyan Dao, and is the only country entitled by international law to declare the baselines of the territorial sea of Huangyan Dao, Chen noted. 
Relevant actions of the Philippine side seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty, international law and the basic norms of international relations. They are illegal, null and void, Chen said. 
Chen noted that PLA's exercises stand as a serious warning against violations and provocations by the Philippine side. These are necessary and legitimate measures to safeguard China's sovereignty over Huangyan Dao and China's rights and interests.
In fact, since its independence in 1946, the Philippines has expanded its claims of territory and jurisdictional waters through domestic legislation while claiming following international law. Its behavior has led to wide wariness and dissatisfaction as well as resolute opposition from other littoral countries to the South China Sea, the spokesperson added.

。    Washington's attempts to use Taiwan to contain China are inevitably doomed to failure, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday after Pelosi's Tuesday's surprising visit to the island.,In his remarks, the foreign minister emphasized Beijing's official position that the only guarantee of peaceful coexistence and stability in the Taiwan strait is the "one China" principle, and the three joint communiqués between Washington, Beijing and Taipei solidify this as a fixed status.,"'Relying on the United States to seek independence' is a dead end, and 'using Taiwan to contain China' is doomed to fail," Wang said. "In the face of the national righteousness of national unity, Chinese people have the backbone not to believe in evil, to not be scared by ghosts, have the will to not be intimidated or overwhelmed, have the determination to unite [...], and have the ability to resolutely defend national sovereignty and national dignity.",According to Wang, the US "should not fantasize about playing geopolitical games," with its "provocations" serving only to cause more tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, while acting against the common trend is "very dangerous and stupid.","The one-China principle has become a basic norm in international relations and constitutes an integral part of the post-World War II international order," he elaborated. "What the US needs to do is to immediately stop violating the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and immediately stop playing the 'Taiwan card' to disrupt the Asia-Pacific.",No Space for 'Independence',Wang specifically stressed that China will leave no room for action for pro-Taiwan independence forces.,"We will never leave any space for 'Taiwan independence' separatism or interference from external forces," his statement reads.,The foreign minister asserted that no matter how the US promotes "Taiwan independence", these efforts will be in vain. More to that, such efforts will only add to the "ugly" record of major US interventions in other countries' internal affairs throughout history.,According to Wang, the whole situation with Pelosi proved to Beijing that some US politicians have become "troublemakers" in Chinese-US relations, and the US has become the "biggest destroyer" of peace and regional stability in the Taiwan Strait.,The foreign minister reiterated that Washington shall not succeed in its plans to hinder the unification of China and violate its right to independent development along its own path chosen by the people of the country.,"We place the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength, and are willing to coexist peacefully and develop together with other countries, but we will never allow any country to undermine China's stability and development," Wang underscored, adding that attempts to disrupt the development of the country will invariably lead to bloodshed.,Wang concluded by noting that Washington "should not imagine that black and white can be reversed arbitrarily.","The US claims that China is escalating the situation, but the most basic fact is that the US first provoked China on the Taiwan issue and blatantly violated China's sovereignty and territorial integrity," he stated. "The US claims that the Speaker's visit to Taiwan has precedent, but the most basic reasoning is that past mistakes cannot be an excuse for repeating [them] today.",On Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow views Pelosi's visit to Taiwan as an obvious provocation "in the spirit of the US aggressive line on the comprehensive containment of China.",Also, earlier in the day, speaking at the 10th Review Conference on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at the United Nations, the director-general of the Chinese Foreign Ministry's arms control department Fu Cong said the US should stop deploying its nuclear weapons in any other parts of the world and withdraw them from Europe entirely.。
