A Chinese military spokesman said yesterday that China remains opposed to the Philippines' illegal seizure of Ren'ai Reef. In 1999, a Philippine warship was grounded on Ren'ai Reef. China has repeatedly asked the country to retrieve the ship, but the Philippines continued to illegally occupy the reef, Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said.
Yang said the Philippines has made multiple efforts since May to continue the illegal grounding of the vessel. "The Philippine side has promised to withdraw the warship but has failed to do so thus far," Yang said, adding that it violates China's territorial sovereignty.
