The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said today (5th) that the Chinese army conducted military training in the waters of the Xisha Islands, which is within the scope of China's sovereignty and it is unique.
According to the Beijing Daily of China, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular press conference to respond to the US Department of Defense's attention to China's military exercise in the South China Sea that the Xisha Islands are the inherent territories of China and there is no controversy.
Zhao Lijian also said: Some foreign countries often run to the South China Sea to engage in large -scale military activities. Yao Wu Yangwei is the fundamental reason that affects the stability of the South China Sea.
According to Reuters, the US Department of Defense said in a statement yesterday: Military exercises have been conducted in controversial territorial territories in the South China Sea, and they have a countermeasure for alleviating the tension and maintaining stability.
China Maritime Agency announced on the official website last month that China held military training in the waters of the Xisha Islands from the 1st to 5th of this month.
