北京：北京周一警告马尼拉，不得在存在争议的南海进行“挑衅行为”，指责菲律宾飞机在周末侵犯领空。
BEIJING: Beijing warned Manila on Monday against "provocative acts" in the disputed South China Sea, accusing a Philippine aircraft of an airspace violation over the weekend.
尽管国际裁决认定北京的主张没有法律依据，北京仍声称南海大部分海域属于中国，双方也经常发生对峙。
Beijing claims most of the sea, despite an international ruling that its assertion has no legal basis, and confrontations have occurred regularly.
菲律宾武装部队称，周六（10月3日），一架中国战斗机在斯卡伯勒浅滩附近干扰了一架塞斯纳208型涡桨飞机执行的“例行军事巡逻”。
The Philippine armed forces said a Chinese fighter jet had interfered with a "routine military patrol" carried out by a Cessna 208 turboprop near the Scarborough Shoal on Saturday (Oct 3).
中国军方南部战区指挥部称，菲律宾飞机“非法侵入中国黄岩岛领空”。黄岩岛是北京对这一有争议浅滩的称呼。
The Chinese military's Southern Theater Command said that the Philippine plane had "illegally intruded into the territorial airspace over China's Huangyan Dao" - Beijing's name for the disputed shoal.
军方发言人翟仕臣周一在社交媒体平台微信上分享的一份声明中表示，中国“海空兵力……跟踪监视了菲律宾飞机，并依据法律法规发出警告，要求将其驱离”。
Chinese "naval and air forces... tracked and monitored the Philippine aircraft, and issued warnings to expel it in accordance with laws and regulations", military spokesman Zhai Shichen said in a statement shared on social media platform WeChat on Monday.
翟上校称，菲律宾的行为“严重侵犯中国主权”，并警告马尼拉“立即停止侵犯权益和挑衅行为”。
Senior Captain Zhai said the Philippines' actions "seriously violate China's sovereignty" and warned Manila "to stop rights violations and provocative acts immediately".
菲律宾武装部队周日发表声明称，一架中国歼-16战斗机“反复逼近菲律宾飞机，并在其附近机动，包括在菲律宾飞机前方及周边机动，以及将自身置于菲律宾飞机的尾流范围内”。
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Philippine armed forces said that a Chinese J-16 fighter had "repeatedly approached and manoeuvred in close proximity to the Philippine aircraft, including manoeuvring ahead of and around it and positioning itself within the Philippine aircraft's wake".
菲律宾政府称，周日南海更南面的斯普拉特利群岛发生了第二起对峙。
The Philippine government said a second confrontation occurred on Sunday in the Spratly Islands, further south in the South China Sea.
本周末发生的事件距菲律宾两周前称中国海警船在斯普拉特利群岛另一处冲撞其渔业部门一艘船只仅约两周。
The weekend incidents came about two weeks after the Philippines said a China Coast Guard ship rammed one of its fisheries department boats in another area of the Spratlys.
此后，北京将事件归咎于菲律宾船只的行为，并称该船“应对事件负有全部责任”。
Beijing subsequently blamed the actions of the Philippine vessel, which it said "bears full responsibility for the incident".
