China stops intrusion of Philippine aircraft

China's military announced on Friday that it had issued warnings and expelled two Philippine C-208 aircraft and an N-22 aircraft that had entered the airspace over a South China Sea island on Thursday. Tian Junli, spokesman for the People's Liberation Army's Southern Theater Command, said in a release that recently, the Philippines had disregarded facts and repeatedly smeared and vilified China's legitimate actions to safeguard its rights. Tian said a Philippine C-208 aircraft illegally intruded into China's airspace over Huangyan Island in the South China Sea on Tuesday, altering its flight altitude multiple times. In just 218 seconds, it descended 920 meters in an unprofessional and dangerous manner, deliberately crossing into the normal patrol helicopter altitude, posing a high risk of maritime and aerial incidents.
