中国驻马尼拉大使馆表示，黄岩岛上的浮动设施是一处临时科研设施，目前相关任务已经完成。
中国驻马尼拉大使馆证实，黄岩岛（菲律宾称Bajo de Masinloc）上的浮动设施为临时科研设施。副发言人郭薇表示，该设施由中国科学院南海海洋研究所建立。
郭薇指出，该平台旨在进行采样和实验，以研究黄岩岛的生态系统，目前相关科研任务已圆满完成。
中国大使馆批评菲律宾将正常的科研活动政治化和炒作。此前，菲律宾武装部队和海岸警卫队发布相关报告后，菲律宾外交部已发出外交照会并提出正式抗议。
菲律宾海岸警卫队准将杰伊·塔里拉（Jay Tarriela）指出，曾观测到一艘中国科研船拖拽该平台。菲律宾渔业和水产资源局的飞行记录证实，“粤湛渔科6”号船只曾移动过该设施。
