The warning came after the spokesman for the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) announced that a US warship had intruded into China\u2019s territorial waters without authorization.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe urge the US to stop such provocative behavior and restrict its maritime actions to avoid possible military accidents,\u201d said Senior Colonel Li Huamin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Li\u2019s remarks came a day after PLA forces warned off a trespassing American guided missile destroyer USS Mustin in territorial waters of China\u2019s Xisha Islands, close to an area where the Chinese military was holding military drills that reportedly included live fire anti-ship ballistic missile launches.<\/p>\n\n

The PLA spokesman said the American forces has\u00a0ignored international law by repeatedly stirring up troubles in the South China Sea and claimed navigational hegemony in the name of \"freedom of navigation,\" seriously undermined Beijing\u2019s sovereignty and security interests in the region.<\/p>\n\n

Li reiterated China\u2019s \u201cundisputable sovereignty\u201d over the islands in the South China Sea and their adjacent waters in the region, insisting that Chinese troops are always on high alert to resolutely protect national sovereignty and safeguard peace and stability in the area.<\/p>\n\n

The US Navy claimed that the USS Martin had conducted a\u00a0\u201croutine\u201d\u00a0operation in the region, again invoking its self-proclaimed \u201cfreedom of navigation\u201d principle to justify the move.<\/p>\n\n

The development came after China\u2019s Defense Ministry declared on Thursday that Beijing would\u00a0not \u201cdance to the tune\u201d of the US or allow it to \u201ccause trouble,\u201d as Washington continues its operations in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n

Washington and Beijing are currently at loggerheads over a host of issues, including trade, technology, Hong Kong, Taiwan, navigation in the East and South China Seas, and most recently, the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n

The South China Sea has recently become a flashpoint.<\/p>\n\n

The United States has been trying to push back against what it views as China\u2019s rising influence in the resource-rich South China Sea. Washington has sided with China\u2019s rivals in maritime disputes in the sea and been routinely sending warships and warplanes to the region.<\/p>\n\n

China said on Tuesday that the US had flown a spy aircraft into a Chinese no-fly zone during live-fire military drills, slamming the move as \u201cnaked provocation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The Chinese military launched two ballistic missiles into the South China Sea on Wednesday, in a clear warning to the United States.<\/p>\n\n

The move came right after the US blacklisted\u00a024 Chinese companies and individuals over their alleged involvement in construction efforts in disputed islands in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n

On Thursday, China\u2019s Foreign Ministry censured Washington\u2019s sanctions against the Chinese companies.<\/p>\n\n
