中国声称,它将菲律宾飞机从有争议的斯普拉特雷群岛领空驱逐出去。 China claims it drove away Philippine aircraft from disputed Spratly Islands airspace.

中国军方在星期五报告说,它警告并赶走了三架菲律宾飞机,据称这些飞机于星期四侵入斯普拉特雷群岛附近的中国领空。 China's military reported on Friday that it had warned and driven away three Philippine aircraft that allegedly intruded into Chinese airspace near the Spratly Islands on Thursday. 中国指控菲律宾试图通过这一行动促进其领土主张。 China accused the Philippines of attempting to promote their territorial claims through this action. 这一事件凸显了南中国海的争端,中国在南中国海几乎主张整个地区,包括菲律宾在内的几个国家对此主张有争议。 The incident highlights the ongoing dispute over the South China Sea, where China claims almost the entire area, a claim disputed by several nations including the Philippines. 2016年的一项裁决宣布中国的主张无效,但北京不承认这一决定。 A 2016 ruling invalidated China's claim, but Beijing does not recognize this decision.
