China rebuffs Japan's protest on gas development in East China Sea

Xinhua, July 7, 2015 Adjust font size:

China rebuffed Japan's protests to its gas development in the East China Sea on Tuesday, and reiterated its sovereignty in the areas.

"China is conducting activities in the areas under undisputed Chinese administration. Japan's so-called 'protest' is unreasonable, and China will not accept such unreasonable demands," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.
