Colonel Tian Junli, spokesman for the Southern Theater, said that on 20 January, the US guided-missile destroyer "Benford" illegally broke into China's Xisha territorial waters without the approval of the Chinese Government, and organized naval and air forces in the Southern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to follow up and monitor and warn them to drive away. The US act of seriously violating China's sovereignty and security is another ironclad proof that it is vigorously pursuing navigation hegemony and creating militarization in the South China Sea, and the facts have fully proved that the United States is an out-and-out "security risk maker in the South China Sea" and the "biggest saboteur" of peace and stability in the South China Sea. We solemnly demand that the US side immediately stop such provocative acts, otherwise it will bear the serious consequences of the unexpected incidents caused by them. Theater troops have always maintained a high state of alert and taken resolute action to safeguard national sovereignty and peace and stability in the South China Sea.
