UNITED NATIONS, July 23 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Tuesday rejected U.S. accusations against Beijing over the South China Sea issue at the Security Council open debate on multilateralism and peaceful settlement of disputes.
The United States itself is creating problems, sowing discord and undermining trust in the South China Sea region, he said in response to accusations from a US representative.
China has indisputable sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao (South China Sea Islands) and its adjacent waters. China's territorial sovereignty, maritime rights and interests in the SCS have sufficient historical and legal foundations, Fu Cong said.
Beijing's position on the SCS arbitration case has always been consistent and clear: China does not accept or recognize the so-called arbitration award and rejects any claims or actions based on it, the diplomat said.
In reality, the overall situation in the SCS has remained stable in recent years, thanks to joint efforts with the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Fu Tsung emphasized. There are no problems with freedom of navigation and overflight, he added.
China has been consistently working with all relevant countries to properly resolve differences over the South China Sea through dialogue and consultation based on respect for historical facts and international law, the Permanent Representative said. –0–
