Apr. 14 - China says Japan has come up with a provocation to China's
rights and the norm of international relations by starting to grant
Japanese firms the right to conduct test drilling for potential gas and
oil fields in the East China Sea.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang said China has already lodged
protest on this issue to the Japanese side and will retain the right to
make further reaction.
On Wednesday, the Japanese government initiated procedures to grant
Japanese firms the right to conduct test drilling for potential gas and
oil fields in the East China Sea.
Qin Gang said the move by the Japanese side is a serious provocation to
the rights of China and the norm of international relations.
The spokesman said there are disputes between China and Japan on the
demarcation of the continental shelf of East China Sea. He said China has
always insisted that the two sides should resolve the issue through
diplomatic negotiation.
The spokesman said the Japanese side has turned a deaf ear to the
righteous proposition of China and attempted to impose its
unilaterally-conceived "demarcation line" on the Chinese side.
He noted that China has never ever recognized and will never recognize
the so called "demarcation line".
