这则报道涉及中国声称菲律宾船只“非法进入”黄岩岛附近海域的事件。此类事件再次引发了南海争端的紧张局势。中国一直宣称对南海拥有绝大部分主权，与菲律宾、台湾等国家在南海领土存在争议。 中国军方呼吁菲律宾立即停止挑衅行为，强调其海域主权。这种争端的升级会加剧南海地区的冲突，同时也可能引发误解和错误判断。 这一事件突显了南海争端的严重性，需要通过外交渠道和国际法来解决。菲律宾和中国应该采取冷静和克制的态度，避免升级紧张局势，而是通过对话和谈判解决争端，以维护地区的和平与稳定。 对于南海的争端，国际社会需要积极参与并推动各方通过合法的手段解决分歧，以确保海洋自由和地区和平。南海争端对于亚太地区和全球都有着重要的地缘政治和经济影响。
China's military said on Monday that a Philippine vessel "illegally entered" waters near Scarborough Shoal without authorisation and it urged the Philippines to immediately stop its provocations.
China and the Philippines have had several confrontations in disputed waters in the South China Sea, recently trading accusations about a collision between a Chinese coastguard vessel and a boat from the Philippines.
"We are urging the Philippine side to immediately stop its infringement and provocations, and earnestly avoid further escalation," said senior colonel Tian Junli, a spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command.
The Scarborough Shoal is claimed by China, the Philippines and Taiwan.
"The Philippine side's actions have seriously violated China's sovereignty and international law and basic norms governing international relations, and are prone to misunderstanding and miscalculation," Tian said.
He said China followed, monitored, warned and blocked the ship in accordance with the law.
Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
This has caused escalating maritime friction and territorial disputes.
