China said on Thursday that Japan should reflect why it has become the “small minority” on the South China Sea issue, otherwise it will get increasingly disappointed and isolated.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang made the comment in response to Japanese media reports that Japan will continue to work with the international community to urge China to comply with international law and accept the “award” of the South China Sea arbitration.
“Japan seems reluctant to give up its fancy of forcing China to accept the so-called award, despite the South China Sea littoral states, including the claimants, have expressed willingness to cooperate with China,” Lu said.
During the foreign ministers’ meeting between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the Lao capital of Vientiane this week, China and ASEAN have agreed the South China Sea disputes should be resolved peacefully through dialogue between directly concerned countries. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/997185.shtml
