China took necessary actions to protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in accordance with the law after the Philippines tried to intrude into China's territorial sea surrounding Huangyan Dao, a spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines said on Friday in response to remarks by the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines.

"The U.S. ambassador to the Philippines overlooked basic facts and made groundless accusations against China's legitimate measures for protecting its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," the spokesperson added. "We firmly oppose and condemn her accusation."
