菲律宾划设民主礁领海基线 中国表示坚决反对

菲律宾在民主礁（黄岩岛）划设领海基线，并通过国内立法将该岛礁及南沙群岛大部分岛礁纳入菲方海洋区域1。中国外交部对此发表声明，表示"坚决反对、绝不接受"1。

中国指控菲律宾此举"严重侵犯中国领土主权，严重违反《联合国宪章》、《联合国海洋法公约》等国际法"1。中方重申，2016年南海仲裁案的所谓"裁决"为"非法、无效，没有拘束力"，中国"不接受、不承认该裁决"1。中国同时警告菲律宾"不得在黄岩岛采取任何侵权挑衅行动，否则中方都将予以坚决应对"1。

The Philippines has established a maritime baseline at Scarborough Shoal, known in China as Huangyan Island, prompting a firm rebuke from Beijing.1 China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement declaring it would "resolutely oppose and absolutely not accept" this action, characterizing the move as a "serious infringement on China's territorial sovereignty and a serious violation of the UN Charter and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and other international law."1

The Philippine government enacted a "Maritime Zone Law" that incorporates Scarborough Shoal and most of the Nansha Islands, along with their adjacent waters, into the country's maritime zones.1 China reiterated its position that the 2016 South China Sea arbitration ruling, which favored the Philippines and rejected China's "nine-dash line" claim, is "illegal and invalid and has no binding force," asserting that it "does not accept and does not recognize" the tribunal's decision.1 Beijing warned the Philippines to "refrain from taking any infringing or provocative actions at Huangyan Island," stating that "China will respond resolutely to any such move."1
