10月3日，中菲两国在南海民主礁附近空域发生新一轮空中对峙1。菲律宾一架C-208型巡逻机遭2架中国军机包括殲16战机危险逼近和环绕，中方多次飞至菲机前方及周围、进入其飞行尾流1。中国南部战区发言人翟士臣声称菲方C-208型机"非法侵入"民主礁"领空"，中方已依法依规对其进行跟踪监视和警告驱离1。
翟士臣同时表示，"菲方行为严重侵犯中国主权，极易引发海空意外事件"，并"正告菲方立即停止侵权挑衅"1。这次事件是中菲南海紧张局势的最新升级，此前两国已在9月18日发生公务船碰撞、9月24日在仁愛暗沙对峙，以及中方9月27日进行演训和9月30日战备警巡1。
A tense aerial standoff unfolded on October 3rd near Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea when a Philippine C-208 patrol aircraft encountered two Chinese military jets, including a J-16 fighter 1. The Philippine side alleged that the Chinese aircraft made dangerous approaches and circled around the patrol plane multiple times, maneuvering in front of and alongside the Filipino aircraft while entering its wake 1.
China's Southern Theater Command presented a contrasting account, claiming that the Philippine C-208 had illegally intruded into the airspace over the shoal, and that Chinese forces conducted lawful tracking, monitoring, and warning maneuvers to drive the aircraft away 1. Spokesperson Zhai Shichen of the Southern Theater Command stated that "the Philippine action severely violates China's sovereignty and is extremely prone to causing maritime and air incidents," adding that "we hereby warn the Philippines to immediately stop the infringing provocations" 1.
The latest aerial clash represents an intensification in recent regional tensions, following a series of maritime confrontations between the two nations, including a government vessel collision on September 18th, a standoff at Ren'ai Reef on September 24th, joint military exercises on September 27th, and combat-readiness patrols on September 30th 1.
