On October 30, China's People's Liberation Army deployed naval and air forces to conduct combat patrols in the territorial waters and airspace of the Chinese island of Huangyan. This is a necessary response to the provocative actions of the Philippines that violate China's sovereignty. Huangyan Island is a traditional Chinese territory. Since October, the command units have continuously strengthened the patrols and security of the sea and air space around the territorial waters of Huangyan Island, further increasing the control of the relevant areas. The army responds effectively to any provocation, resolutely defends the country's sovereignty and security.
