Summary

Machine summary

China's Ministry of National Defense stated publicly that the China Coast Guard and other forces will continue quanyi zhifa (rights-protection and law-enforcement) operations around Ren'ai Jiao (Second Thomas Shoal), directly rejecting the Philippine military's claim that resupply missions to the BRP Sierra Madre require no third-party approval. The statement documents Beijing's standing posture of treating Philippine resupply runs as requiring Chinese consent — a framing that extends the pattern of MND press conferences being used to formalize operational red lines rather than merely comment on incidents.
