Original title: Philippine defense minister said that the Philippines sent supply ships to Ren'ai reef. China took photos and videos on site, and the Ministry of foreign affairs responded
[Global Times global network reporter Zhang Hui] on November 24, 2021, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference, some of which are as follows.
Q: it is reported that Philippine defense secretary Lorenzana said on the 23rd that the Philippines successfully dispatched supply ships to benevolence reef that day without any major accidents. The Chinese maritime police ship sent three staff members to take photos and videos of the Philippine navy unloading in rubber boats. The Philippines believes that China's move is intimidation and harassment. What is China's comment on this?
A: the reef is part of China's Spratly Islands. China demands that the Philippines abide by its commitments and tow away the warships illegally "sitting on the beach" on benevolence reef. This position has not changed. The supply of food and other living materials is a temporary special humanitarian arrangement. The Chinese maritime police ship cruised and watched the sea area according to law, and monitored the whole process of the Philippine supply operation.
