01:03

China once again urges the Philippines to stop making provocations in China's territorial waters near Ren'ai Jiao, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Monday. Mao stressed that Ren'ai Jiao is part of China's Nansha Islands and China's territory. The Philippines illegally "grounded" its warship at Ren'ai Jiao, which seriously violates China's territorial sovereignty.

Earlier on Sunday, in disregard of China's repeated dissuasion and warnings, the Philippines insisted on sending two transport ships and two coast guard vessels into the adjacent waters off Ren'ai Jiao in China's Nansha Islands without permission, in an attempt to illegally deliver construction materials to the Philippine navy warship that had been illegally "grounded" at Ren'ai Jiao.

The China Coast Guard (CCG), in accordance with law, blocked the Philippine vessels that illegally delivered construction materials.
