[Vietnam accuses Chinese vessels of "infringing sovereignty" China refutes: China has sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and its affiliated waters] according to a Reuters report, Vietnam accused a Chinese investigation ship and its escort ship of "infringing upon its sovereignty" on the 25th and asked the Chinese side to "withdraw these vessels from its waters." At a regular press conference held by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 26, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said in response to relevant questions from foreign media that China has sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and its surrounding waters, and has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the relevant waters. It is legitimate and legal for relevant Chinese vessels to carry out normal activities in the sea areas under their own jurisdiction, and there is no problem of entering the waters of other countries or the "exclusive economic zone". On the South China Sea issue, we have maintained communication with all parties concerned, and we are willing to properly resolve existing differences through dialogue and consultation to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea. At the same time, we will firmly safeguard China's legitimate rights and interests.
