In response to the remarks by some individual country on the Huangyan Island incident at the ARF Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Foreign Minister Yang pointed out that Huangyan Island has always been part of the Chinese territory and is not a disputed island. It is very clear how the incident came about. The Chinese people were shocked and surprised by the Huangyan Island incident. The Philippine side sent a naval vessel to hurt the Chinese fishermen on China's territory. What they did caused wide concern and strong indignation among the Chinese people. China urges the Philippine side to face facts squarely and not to make trouble.
