BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Japan and the Philippines have bypassed China to launch so-called maritime delimitation talks, a move that gravely infringes upon China's maritime rights and interests, and China will not allow this, foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Tuesday at a regular press briefing.
Lin reiterated that China has exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the waters east of China's Taiwan island, adding that the Japan-Philippines move seriously violates international laws including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and basic norms of international relations.
