地区发展繁荣离不开南海的和平稳定。中方始终致力于遵守包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法，始终恪守《南海各方行为宣言》，坚持同当事国通过对话协商妥处分歧，积极开展海上务实合作。南海的航行和飞越自由不存在任何问题。当前，中国和东盟国家正积极推进“南海行为准则”磋商，争取早日达成。我想强调，中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益具有充分的历史和法理依据。中方采取必要措施，维护自身主权权益，合理合法。有关域外国家应当尊重和支持中国与地区国家共同维护南海和平稳定的努力，切实为地区和平稳定发挥建设性作用。

Peace and stability in the South China Sea is critical to the development and prosperity of our region. China has all along committed itself to international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), consistently honored the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), opted for dialogue and consultation with countries directly concerned in properly handling differences, and actively engaged in practical maritime cooperation. There are no obstacles whatsoever to freedom of navigation or overflight in the South China Sea. At present, China and ASEAN countries are actively advancing consultations on a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) and will strive for its early conclusion. I wish to underscore that China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea have solid historical and legal grounds. It is legitimate and lawful for China to take necessary measures to safeguard its sovereign rights and interests. Relevant countries outside the region should respect and support the joint efforts of China and regional countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, and truly play a constructive role for peace and stability in the region.

“支联会”纲领的本质是颠覆国家政权，“支联会”案各被告犯罪事实清楚，危害严重。香港特区政府依法打击危害国家安全行为合理合法。香港是法治社会，中央政府坚定支持香港特区依法维护国家安全、打击危害国家安全的行为。

The platform of “Hong Kong Alliance” is aimed at subverting state power at its core. The facts concerning the defendants’ crimes are clear and the offense has caused serious harm. It’s legitimate and lawful for the government of Hong Kong SAR to combat the activities endangering national security. Hong Kong upholds rule of law. The central government firmly supports the Hong Kong SAR in safeguarding national security and combating activities that endanger national security in accordance with the law.

林剑：关于菲律宾船只在中国黄岩岛海域侵权挑衅，中国海警局已阐明事实真相。黄岩岛是中国固有领土。菲律宾有关船只蓄意冲闯在先，中方采取必要措施维护自身权利和安全，合理合法，现场操作专业规范，无可指摘。菲方应立即停止侵权挑衅和煽宣炒作。需要特别指出的是，菲方又一次安排记者参与侵权行动，蓄意挑衅滋事并借机炒作，人为制造海上紧张局势。这恰恰证明菲律宾就是南海和平稳定的破坏者和麻烦制造者。

Lin Jian: China Coast Guard has set the record straight on the Philippine vessels’ infringement activities and provocations in the waters of China’s Huangyan Dao. Huangyan Dao is China’s inherent territory. Philippine vessels deliberately intruded into the waters, and it’s legitimate and lawful for China to take necessary measures to defend our rights and security. Our actions are professional, standard, and beyond reproach. The Philippines must immediately stop infringing upon China’s rights, and stop the provocations and publicity stunts. Let me stress that, the Philippines again brought reporters on board in its latest infringement activities and provocations and created tensions at sea by playing up the issue, proving itself to be the saboteur of the peace and stability in the South China Sea and the troublemaker in the region.

郭嘉昆：中方已经多次阐明严正立场。我们愿重申，中国在台湾岛以东海域拥有专属经济区和大陆架。中方有关部门在该海域开展相关活动，合理合法、无可非议。日本、菲律宾绕开中方擅自启动所谓海域划界谈判，严重违反包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法和国际关系基本准则，严重侵害中方海洋权益，中方决不允许。

Guo Jiakun: China has made its position clear on many occasions. Let me reiterate that China has exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in waters east of China’s Taiwan island. It is fully legitimate, lawful and justified for Chinese authorities to carry out relevant activities in these waters. Japan and the Philippines’ attempt to bypass China and initiate the so-called maritime delimitation talks constitutes a severe violation of UNCLOS and other international laws and basic norms governing international relations. It also seriously infringes on China’s maritime rights and interests. China will not allow this.
