Beijing, July 31 — China has indisputable sovereign rights over the
South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters, and the country
opposes any military intervention in this area, a spokesperson for
China's defence ministry said Tuesday.
According to rules, a regular combat-readiness patrol system has been established in sea waters under China's jurisdiction, ministry spokesperson Geng Yansheng said at a press conference.
Geng said the system was established to maintain the country's territorial sovereignty and safeguard its maritime rights, and it is not targeting any other country or specific goals, reported Xinhua.
"The Chinese navy is justified in protecting the country's interests, and it is groundless to equate such a justified action with tough foreign policy," he said.
Geng also said the establishment of the Sansha garrison in the South China Sea is responsible for defence mobilisation, militia reserves, the relationship between the garrison and local government as well as the city guard, support for the city's disaster rescue and relief work, and direct militia and reserve troops in the city of Sansha.
