press
release from the [state council of the people’s republic of china]
As Commander of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force who
ordered the deployment of the two Hongdu L-15 Falcons, I feel it absolutely
necessary to remain clear in our intentions as tensions run high in the region
of the South China Sea and the greater Asian theater. I must assert to the
international community that this was only an action of surveillance in order
to ascertain the condition of our sunken naval vessel and rescue possible
survivors. This was not an act of aggression, but an act of protection, and we
intend to continue our presence in the Spratly Islands as the situation
unfolds. We lastly encourage all countries involved to remain transparent in
their actions and intentions. We therefore call upon the Philippines to explain
the unmanned aerial aircraft from the Philippine Air Force that my aerial units
encountered when conducting surveillance.
