Anger at Diaoyu claim
Print Edition
CHINA “firmly opposes” an affirmation made after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s meeting with US President Donald Trump that the US-Japan security treaty covers the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea.
“China expressed grave concern at and firm opposition to the statements made by Japan and the United States,” foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a daily press briefing.
“Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islets are China’s inherent territory. No matter what anyone says or does, the fact that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China cannot be changed.”
He said Japan and the US should stop making false statements so as to avoid complicating relevant issues and casting a shadow on regional peace and stability.
