China on Sunday condemned the Philippines for violating China's territorial sovereignty by sending coast guard vessels and other ships into the waters adjacent to the Ren'ai Reef of China's Nansha Islands to deliver supplies to an illegally "stranded" warship.


"China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, including the Ren'ai Reef, and their adjacent waters," said Gan Yu, a spokesperson for China Coast Guard (CCG) on Sunday, noting that the move by the Philippine side has violated the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea and its own commitments.


According to Gan, CCG took "control measures" against a Philippine ship carrying construction materials and carried out "temporary special arrangements" to another Philippine ship with food and other daily necessities.
