China’s EU Mission responding to the EU remarks about South China Sea
dispute:

  • European Union is not a party to the South China Sea issue and has no
    right to point fingers on the issue
  • The European side’s
    repeated ‘speculation’ on the freedom of navigation issue does not do
    any good to the EU’s own interests and international credibility
  • China is strongly
    dissatisfied with the European side’s accusations, firmly opposes
    them and will never accept them
  • Urge the European
    side to be ‘objective and fair’, and be careful with its words and
    actions on the South China Sea issue

If only China would put as much focus on fixing their downward spiralling economy as they do on expanding their empire workers in the country (and the ranks of the unemployed) would be much better off.
