The Chinese claimed that six Filipinos illegally landed on Sandy Cay, threatening legal action; however, Philippine authorities rejected this narrative, insisting that no Chinese interference occurred during their recent mission. They denounced the Chinese claims as false propaganda aimed at undermining Philippine sovereignty, citing recent evidence of their activities in the territory, including displaying media documentation of the Coast Guard and Navy at the site.
