China ‘expels trespassing’ US Navy destroyer from waters off Paracel Islands
- US says patrol meant to challenge China’s excessive claims around the islands
- Chinese military says it will take all necessary measures to defend national sovereignty in the South China Sea
China’s defence ministry said it “expelled” a US destroyer near the Paracel Islands on Friday, describing the American patrol in the disputed South China Sea as an “act of trespass”.
The US Navy’s guided missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer sailed near the Paracels, known as the Xisha in China, “without the permission of the Chinese government”, according to Senior Colonel Li Huamin, spokesman for the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Southern Theatre Command.
Li said the PLA Navy and Air Force shadowed, identified, monitored, warned and expelled the destroyer.
“Ignoring international laws and rules, the US side has been practising ‘navigational hegemony’ in the South China Sea for a long time. Such actions have seriously undermined China’s sovereign interests, and proven the US side’s complete lack of sincerity in maintaining global peace as well as regional security and stability,” Li said.
“Our troops will [take] all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and security and firmly safeguard the peace and stability in the South China Sea.”
