BEIJING: China’s military said it organized naval and air forces to drive away a Dutch frigate that it accused of illegally intruding into the Paracel Islands in the disputed South Chin Sea on Wednesday.
Carrier-based helicopters have repeatedly taken off and “intruded into China’s airspace,” Zhai Shichen, a spokesperson for the People’s Liberation Army Southern Theater Command said in a statement.
“We firmly oppose this and solemnly urge the Dutch side to immediately cease its infringing and provocative acts,” Zhai said, adding the Chinese military will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security.
