On May 27, 2026, the Dutch Navy frigate HNLMS De Ruyter illegally entered waters near China's Xisha Islands and repeatedly launched NH-90 helicopters into China's territorial airspace.

5月27日,荷兰海军“德鲁伊特”号护卫舰非法侵闯中国西沙群岛,多次升空舰载直升机侵入我国领空。

The Chinese PLA Southern Theater Command deployed naval and air forces to expel the intruding vessel, using verbal and targeted electronic interference warnings to drive it away in accordance with laws and regulations.

中国人民解放军南部战区组织海空兵力,依法依规采取语音警告、警示性电子干扰等必要措施予以外逼驱离。

After that, the Dutch naval frigate continued to head north to transit the Taiwan Strait. Troops of the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command tracked and monitored it throughout the whole process.

之后,“德鲁伊特”号继续北上过航台湾海峡。中国人民解放军东部战区组织海空兵力对其全程跟监警戒。

This is not an isolated incident. In recent years, certain extra-regional countries have frequently engaged in infringements and provocations at China's doorstep.

这并非个例。近年来,部分域外国家频繁在中国周边海空域侵权挑衅。

Such actions have seriously violated China's territorial sovereignty and maritime and air security, gravely breached international law and basic norms of international relations, severely undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea, and could easily lead to miscalculations and misjudgments.

类似行径严重侵犯中国领土主权和海空安全,严重违反国际法和国际关系基本准则,严重破坏南海和平稳定,极易引发误解误判。

The Chinese military maintains high vigilance and is always ready to safeguard China's national sovereignty and security, as well as regional peace and stability.

中国人民解放军枕戈待旦,时刻保持高度戒备,坚决捍卫国家主权安全和地区和平稳定。
