Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference on the 13th and responded to the Australian military aircraft’s deliberate intrusion into China’s Xisha Islands airspace.

Guo Jiakun: Australian military aircraft deliberately intruded into China’s Xisha Islands airspace without China’s permission, infringing China’s sovereignty and endangering China’s national security. China’s measures to expel them are legitimate, legal, professional and restrained. China has lodged solemn representations to Australia on this matter, demanding that Australia stop infringing and provoking and stop undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea.
