南部战区新闻发言人田军里空军大校表示，1月25日至26日，中国人民解放军南部战区海军位南海海域进行例行巡航。菲律宾拉拢域外国家组织所谓“联合巡航”，搅局南海，破坏地区和平稳定。战区部队将坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益，坚定维护地区和平稳定。

  Air Force Senior Colonel Tian Junli, spokesperson for the PLA Southern Theater Command stated, from January 25 to 26, the PLA Southern Theater Command Navy conducted a routine patrol in the South China Sea. The Philippines co-opted countries outside of the region to organize the so-called “joint patrols”, disrupting peace and stability in the South China Sea. The theater command forces will resolutely safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and firmly uphold regional peace and stability.
