毛宁近期中菲在南海发生的一些事态，完全是菲律宾改变政策立场，违背自身承诺，违反国际法和《南海各方行为宣言》，蓄意侵权挑衅制造事端，责任完全在菲方。中方坚定维护自身领土主权和海洋权益。我们也希望菲方作出理智抉择，回到通过对话协商妥处分歧的正确轨道上来，同中方一道管控好海上局势。

Mao Ning The recent developments involving China and the Philippines in the South China Sea are caused by the Philippines’ change of policy and position, refusing to honor its commitment, violation of the international law and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and deliberate infringement of China’s sovereignty and provocations. The responsibility lies with the Philippines. China will resolutely protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. We hope that the Philippines will make the wise choice, return to the right track of properly handling disputes through dialogue and consultation, and work with China to properly handle and manage the situation at sea.
