According to a statement issued by the U.S. Navy, the guided missile destroyer USS Benford was sailing near the Nansha Islands on July 16. The U.S. Navy still repeated the same old claim in the statement that the so-called "Navigation rights and freedoms" claim, claiming that relevant actions are "in compliance with international law."

Just a few days ago, the USS Benford guided missile destroyer illegally intruded into our territorial waters of Xisha Islands. Spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command Tian Junli Air Force Colonel previously stated that on July 13, the USS Benford guided missile destroyer illegally broke into the territorial waters of China's Xisha Islands without the approval of the Chinese government. The Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Organization Naval and air forces tracked and monitored and issued warnings to drive them away.

Air Force Colonel Tian Junli, spokesman for the Southern Theater Command, pointed out at the time that the U.S. military’s actions seriously violated China’s sovereignty and security, seriously undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea, seriously violated international law and norms of international relations, and were another step in its pursuit of navigation hegemony and militarization of the South China Sea. A piece of ironclad evidence. Facts have once again shown that the United States is an out-and-out "security risk creator in the South China Sea" and "a destroyer of regional peace and stability." Troops in the theater remain on high alert at all times and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security and peace and stability in the South China Sea.
