THE China Coast Guard (CCG) on Wednesday urged the Philippines to stop "intruding"' into Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal), insisting that the area is within China's jurisdiction.

"We urge the Philippines to stop its infringing actions immediately. The Chinese Coast Guard will continue to carry out rights protection and law enforcement activities in the waters under China's jurisdiction under the law and firmly safeguard the country's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," Liu Dejun, a spokesman for CCG, said on Wednesday, October 8.
