Four Philippine vessels attempted to intrude into Chinese territorial waters off Huangyan Dao on Wednesday and the China Coast Guard (CCG) acted lawfully to control the situation, the CCG said.

Liu Dejun, a spokesperson for the CCG, said that four Philippine coast guard and official vessels attempted to enter China's territorial waters off Huangyan Dao and approached Chinese law enforcement patrol ships in a dangerous manner.

The Chinese side exercised control over the vessels in accordance with the law and regulations, Liu said.
