The court’s decision is unacceptable to China, and he did not intend to perform.
The Chinese authorities have stated that they do not recognize the right of the court of arbitration at the Hague to consider the case of territorial issues in the South China sea and do not intend to fulfill his decision.
This decision was confirmed by the Chairman of the PRC XI Jinping, Premier of the state Council of China Li Keqiang and foreign Minister Wang Yi
“China’s sovereignty over territories in the South China sea and its Maritime law, under no circumstances, be subjected to the influence of court decisions on the so-called claim of the Philippines. China does not accept any verdicts or actions based on this lawsuit,” – said XI Jinping.
He confirmed that these areas historically belong to China, but he is ready “to peaceful settlement of disputes through negotiations and consultations based on international laws.”
In turn, Premier of the state Council of China Li Keqiang expressed the hope that “Europe will take on this issue in an objective and neutral position”.
The head of the Chinese foreign Minister Wang made a statement in which he stressed that the court’s decision is unacceptable to China, and he did not intend to perform.
“From the beginning to the end of the so-called lawsuit against China on the South China sea is a political farce, organized under the cloak of legality, and that his character must be fully open,” said the Chinese Minister.
Van And warned that use of the Hague in the malevolent political manipulation will lead to the fact that the problem of the South China sea escalate into dangerous sharp confrontation that is not in the interests of maintaining regional peace and stability.”
