Xinhua: China voices dissatisfaction with G7 foreign ministers' statement on sea disputes
BEIJING, April 12 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday expressed strong dissatisfaction after foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) issued a statement that touched upon disputes in the East and South China Seas.
