国防部：菲方应尽快拖走非法“坐滩”的57号舰
MND：The Philippines Should Tow Away the LT-57 Unlawfully Grounded at Ren'ai Jiao as Soon as Possible
8月27日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。
记者：据报道，在经历近50天物资紧张之后，菲律宾非法“坐滩”仁爱礁的57号舰刚完成了新一轮的生活物资补给。菲方曾多次假借补给试图夹带加固建材，将57号舰永久钉在礁盘之上。请问发言人对此有何评论？
Question: According to media reports, after nearly 50 days of supplies shortage, the Philippine vessel, BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57), which has been illegally "grounded" at Ren'ai Jiao, received a new batch of daily supplies. The Philippine side repeatedly attempted to use such resupply missions as a cover to smuggle in reinforcement materials to permanently settle the vessel on the reef. What's your comment on that?
张晓刚：仁爱礁是中国南沙群岛的一部分。中方基于处理仁爱礁局势的三点原则立场，同菲方就仁爱礁人道主义生活物资运补达成临时性安排。如果菲方试图运送建筑材料，建设固定设施和永久哨所，中方绝不接受，将坚决依法依规予以拦阻。菲方应尽快拖走非法“坐滩”的57号舰，停止一切滋事挑衅行径。中方坚决维护自身领土主权和海洋权益，坚定维护南海和平稳定。
Zhang Xiaogang: Ren'ai Jiao is part of China's Nansha Qundao. Guided by our three-point principled position on handling the situation at Ren'ai Jiao, the Chinese side reached a provisional arrangement with the Philippines on the humanitarian resupply of living necessities. If the Philippine side attempts to deliver construction materials and build fixed facilities or a permanent outpost, the Chinese side will absolutely not accept it and will resolutely stop it in accordance with laws and regulations. The Philippine side should tow away BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57), which is unlawfully "grounded" at Ren'ai Jiao, and stop all provocative acts. The Chinese side is firmly committed to safeguarding its own territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and steadfast in upholding peace and stability in the South China Sea.
