China urges Philippine side to strictly control operations of maritime, air troops

A Chinese military spokesperson on Friday urged the Philippine side to strictly control operations of its maritime and air troops, immediately cease all provocative and risky acts, and stop its smear campaigns and propaganda.

On March 25, Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Ship (PLANS) 532 was conducting a routine patrol in the waters under China's jurisdiction near Zhubi Jiao of China's Nansha Qundao, according to Zhai Shichen, a spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command.

Upon detecting a Philippine Navy ship, PLANS 532 initiated radio communications to remind the Philippine ship, said Zhai.

Ignoring repeated radio reminders from the Chinese side, the Philippine ship 507, navigating on the port side of PLANS 532, adjusted its course to the starboard side before making a deliberate turn to the same direction, dangerously approaching PLANS 532 and disrupting its navigation. PLANS 532 then took professional and standardized moves, successfully avoiding an accident, according to Zhai.

The spokesperson said that the operation of the Philippine Navy ship was unsafe and unprofessional, which could have easily led to a maritime accident. "Worse still, the Philippine side made a false accusation, claiming that the Chinese ship made a 'dangerous approach'," Zhai said.

"We sternly urge the Philippine side to strictly control operations of its maritime and air troops, immediately cease all provocative and risky acts, as well as its smear campaigns and propaganda," Zhai said.

The troops of the Southern Theater Command remain on high alert at all times and will resolutely defend China's territorial sovereignty, security, and peace and stability in the South China Sea, added the spokesperson.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced major RISC-V achievements at a sub-forum during the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) on Thursday, highlighting a new path for open-source chip industrial application.

RISC-V is an open-source, flexible and efficient processor architecture that has gained global attention.

Two landmark achievements were introduced at the forum. Xiangshan, an open-source high-performance RISC-V processor system, has set a new international record and includes the world's first open-source network-on-chip IP.

"The Xiangshan processor core now ranks among the global top tier in performance. Several companies are already developing actual chips based on it. Real market demand, high-level expertise, and high quality are the core elements for open-source chip projects to transition from the lab to industrial deployment," said Bao Yungang, a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology, CAS.

While Ruyi, a native RISC-V operating system, became the first to support the RVA23 high-performance international standard.

Together, Xiangshan and Ruyi have formed two RISC-V open-source communities led by China.

Currently scientific research teams in China have constructed a full-chain RISC-V development system, strengthening China’s voice in shaping global open-source technology standards.

The 2026 ZGC Forum, running in Beijing through Sunday, is focused on the theme of "Full Integration Between Technological and Industrial Innovation". Since its founding in 2007, this forum has become a major international event for advancing science and technology innovation.
