CHINA yesterday welcomed a UN panel decision not to recognize a Japanese territorial claim on the 250,000-square-kilometer southern Kyushu-Palau Ridge.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin made the remarks when asked to comment on a summary of recommendations of UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf on Sunday regarding the extent of Japan's continental shelf in the western Pacific.
China and South Korea have repeatedly opposed Japan's claims over the outer continental shelf based on Okinotori Atoll, as Okinotori is a group of rocks and not classifiable as an "island," said Liu.
