China's Foreign Ministry says Huangyan Island is Chinese territory, and it is China's sovereign right to decide what it does there. The comments come in response to US officials who said China had apparently cordoned off the area near Huangyan Island, and overseas media speculated that China might carry out land reclamation and step up defense there.
"Some media have been speculating that China may take some action on Huangyan Island. Doesn't that reveal the anxiety of some people? I want to reaffirm that Huangyan Island is an inherent part of China. What China does or does not do on Huangyan Island is a matter that falls within Chinese sovereignty. China has the confidence and capability to preserve its sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests," said Hua Chunying, spokesperson of Chinese foreign ministry.
