中国对南沙群岛及其附近海域拥有无可争辩的主权。中国始终坚持通过谈判协商和平解决争议，坚持通过制定规则和建立机制管控争议，坚持通过互利合作实现共赢，坚持维护南海和平稳定及南海航行和飞越自由。中国与东盟国家就南海问题保持密切沟通对话，在全面有效落实《南海各方行为宣言》框架下深化海上务实合作，稳步推进"南海行为准则"磋商，不断取得积极进展。中国坚决反对个别国家为一己私利在本地区挑动是非。对于侵犯中国领土主权和海洋权益、蓄意挑起事端破坏南海和平稳定的挑衅行动，中国将不得不作出必要反应。任何将南海问题国际化、司法化的做法都无助于争议的解决，相反只会增加解决问题的难度，危害地区和平与稳定。

China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters. China has always been committed to resolving disputes peacefully through negotiation and consultation, managing disputes by setting rules and establishing mechanisms, realizing mutually beneficial outcomes through cooperation for mutual benefit, and upholding peace and stability as well as freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea. China and the ASEAN countries stay in close communication and dialogue on the South China Sea issue. When fully and effectively implementing the DOC, the two sides have strengthened pragmatic maritime cooperation, steadily advanced the consultations on COC and made positive progress. China resolutely opposes certain countries' provocations of regional disputes for their selfish interests. China is forced to make necessary responses to the provocative actions which infringe on China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and undermine peace and stability inthe South China Sea. No effort to internationalize and judicialize the South China Sea issue will be of any avail for its resolution; it will only make it harder to resolve the issue, and endanger regional peace and stability.

Issues concerning the Diaoyu Islands and maritime demarcation in the East China Sea exist between China and Japan. The Diaoyu Islands are an integral part of China's territory. China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands has a sufficient historical and legal basis.
