The Chinese government has rejected a move by the Philippine government to take their dispute regarding sovereignty issues in the South China Sea to the United Nations for arbitration 1.
Foreign Ministry 2 spokesman Hong Lei.
"Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Ma Keqing had an appointment with officials from the Philippines' Foreign Ministry on Tuesday and returned a note and related notice after expressing China's rejection 3."
Hong Lei also said the note and related notice were factually flawed and contain false accusations 4 as well as violating the consensus 5 enshrined in the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
Hong stressed China's position on the dispute through bilateral 6 talks:
"China hopes the Philippines will honor its commitment by not taking any action that could complicate 7 the issue, positively 8 respond to China's proposal to establish a bilateral dialogue mechanism 9 on maritime 10 issues and work to solve the issue through bilateral negotiations 11."
Hong also reiterated 12 that China has sufficient evidence to support its claim to the Nansha islands in the South China Sea.
