南部战区新闻发言人翟士臣海军大校表示，2月2日至6日，中国人民解放军南部战区组织海空力量位南海海域进行例行巡航。菲律宾拉拢域外国家搅局南海，组织所谓“双边空中巡航”，破坏地区和平稳定。战区部队持续保持高度戒备，坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益。

  Senior Captain Zhai Shichen, spokesperson for the PLA Southern Theater Command stated, from February 2 to 6, the naval and air forces of the PLA Southern Theater Command conducted a routine patrol in the South China Sea. In an attempt to stir up troubles in the South China Sea, the Philippine side roped in countries outside the region and conducted so-called “bilateral air patrol”, undermining peace and stability in the region. Forces of the Southern Theater Command will remain on high alert and resolutely safeguard China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.
