China has expressed strong disapproval to the recent statements made by Philippine and United States officials against Beijing's activities in the South China Sea.
Wang Wenbin, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, maintained that "China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands and the adjacent waters."
"The joint statement of the US and the Philippines misrepresents and discredits the legitimate and lawful maritime law enforcement activities of the Chinese side and even makes false accusations against China. We strongly oppose this," Wang said at his regular briefing on Wednesday.
Wang said maintaining peace and stability in the region "hinges on trust, solidarity and cooperation and requires that we, as members of this region, take our security firmly in our own hands."
"We would like to once again remind the relevant country in the region that pandering to forces outside the region will not bring greater security, but will cause tensions, put regional peace and stability at risk and eventually backfire," Wang said.
