2016年CRI Top diplomat's rebuff on arbitration
时间：2019-02-14 作者：英语课 分类：2016CRI中国国际广播电台
State Councilor Yang Jiechi reiterated 1 the so-called arbitration 2 was illegal, invalid 3 and against international law.
"By unilaterally initiating 4 arbitration, the Philippine government under Aquino has gone against its long-standing bilateral 5 agreement with China that disputes in the South China Sea shall be settled through negotiation 6, violated the DOC signed in 2002 by China and ASEAN countries, the Philippines included, and breached 7 international law and UNCLOS. Hence, this arbitration has been illegal since the very beginning. It cannot be seen as an application of international law."
He said the sea area under China's jurisdiction 8 is what Chinese ancestors have left to the nation. The country's determination to protect it will never change.
"The Chinese people will neither covet 9 other countries' interests, nor feel envy at their development achievements. We'll also never give up our legitimate 10 interests. No one can expect China to make deals with its core interests or endure actions detrimental 11 to its sovereignty, security and development. The Chinese government and the people will stay together and do whatever it takes to defend every single inch of our territory."
Yang Jiechi said the arbitration has been a political farce 12 all along, staged under the cover of law and driven by a hidden agenda.
He condemned 13 the attempt by certain countries outside the region that aimed to deny China's sovereign rights and interests in the South China Sea through the arbitration.
He said the disputes should be settled peacefully and between concerned parties only.
"In recent years, certain countries outside the region, driven by their own agenda, have frequently intervened in the South China Sea issue under the pretext 14 of upholding "freedom of navigation" and "maintaining regional peace," leading to an escalation 15 of tension. Such highly irresponsible moves have become the major source of risks that affect peace and stability in the South China Sea. The South China Sea issue is an issue between littoral 16 countries and should be left to the countries concerned to resolve through peaceful negotiations 17."
Yang also called on the new Philippine government to bear in mind the common interests of the two countries and the broader picture of bilateral ties and properly handle issues.
At the same time, he promised China will maintain communication and consultation 18 with those ASEAN member states who are directly concerned to address the specific disputes in a proper way.
