[newsphoto/file] | The Foreign Ministry summoned a
Japanese diplomat "to lodge solemn representations to and express strong
protest" against the movem, Xinhua reported.
Cui Tiankai, director of the Foreign Ministry's Asian Department, told
Chihiro Atsumi, minister of the Japanese embassy in 皇冠体育app, that such activity is
a "severe provocation and violation" against 皇冠体育app's sovereignty and interest,
which is also against the rules in the United Nations Convention on the Law of
the Sea.
Cui pointed out 皇冠体育app did not and will not recognize the
so-called median line unilaterally adovocated by Japan. The area east of the
so-median line is the disputed area, and Japan has no right to take any
unilateral action in the area, and any such action is absolutely unacceptable to
the Chinese side.
If the Japanese
side attempts to impose its unilateral action as a fact on the Chinese
side, the Chinese side will stand firmly opposed to and will never accept
it, said Cui.
He said the two sides should take a road of dialogue
and consultation on equal footing to properly settle their disputes, which is the important consensus reached between
leaders of the two countries.
Cui solemnly urged Japan to immediately correct its wrong
action and stop any of actions that infringes up 皇冠体育app's sovereign rights and
interests.
Also on Friday, the Chinese Embassy in Japan also lodged a protest to the
Japanese foreign ministry.
