VOA: China Slams G-7 Criticism on Sea Claims
China on Tuesday slammed the Group of Seven (G-7) nations for making "irresponsible remarks" about Beijing's disputed territorial claims in the East and South China Seas.
In a statement at the end of a summit in Germany on Monday, G-7 leaders expressed concern about Asian maritime tensions and called on all sides to respect international law.
"We strongly oppose the use of intimidation, coercion or force, as well as any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo, such as large-scale land reclamation," the G-7 statement said.
