王毅：中国政府早在2006年，就依据《联合国海洋法公约》第298条赋予的权利，作出排除强制性仲裁的政府声明。作出类似声明的，全球有30多个国家，这些排除性声明一并构成《公约》不可分割的组成部分，应得到各方尊重。因此，中国不接受南海仲裁案，完全是在依法行事。而菲律宾的做法，恰恰是一不合法，二不守信，三不讲理。不仅违背了在中菲双边协议中做出的承诺，违背了《南海各方行为宣言》第四款的规定，也违背了提出仲裁应由当事方协商的国际实践。菲律宾的一意孤行，显然有幕后指使和政治操作。对于这样一场走了调、变了味的所谓仲裁，中方恕不奉陪。
Wang Yi: Back in 2006, the Chinese government exercised its right under Article 298 of UNCLOS and made a declaration that excludes compulsory arbitration. More than 30 other countries have made similar declarations. They are an integral part of UNCLOS and must be respected by others. So, by not accepting the arbitration case, China is acting entirely in accordance with the law. The Philippines' action, on the other hand, is unlawful, unfaithful and unreasonable. It has violated its own commitments in bilateral agreements with China, breached Article 4 of the DOC and broken with international practice that arbitration has to be mutually agreed. Its stubbornness is clearly the result of behind-the-scenes instigation and political maneuvering. This so-called arbitration has become tainted and gone astray, and China is not going to humor it.
中国最早发现、命名、开发、管辖南海诸岛。我们的先人在这里世代耕耘、辛勤劳作。我们比任何人都熟悉和热爱这个地方，比任何人都希望南海和平稳定、航行自由。
China was the first country to discover, name, develop and administer the South China Sea islands. Our ancestors lived and worked there for generations, so we know and love the place more than anyone else. And more than anyone else, we want to uphold peace, stability and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
在南海这一舞台上，曾有过殖民侵略，有过非法侵占，现在又有人兴风作浪，还有人炫耀武力。但是，就像潮水来了又退去一样，这些图谋最终都不会有结果。
Over the years, the South China Sea has seen colonial invasion and illegal occupation. Now, some people are trying to make waves, some others are showing off force. However, like the tide that comes and goes, these attempts will not make any impact.
历史终将证明，谁只是匆匆过客，谁才是真正主人。
History will prove who is a mere visitor and who is the real host.
