Vietnam said China’s official map released this week violates its sovereignty over the Spratly and Paracel Islands and jurisdiction over its waters, according to a statement posted on the nation’s government news website.
China’s sovereignty and maritime claims based on the nine-dotted line on the map are"invalid,” said the statement, which cited Pham Thu Hang, the spokesperson for Vietnam’s foreign affairs ministry. Vietnam"resolutely opposes all China’s claims in the South China Sea based on the dotted line,” Hang added in the statement.
When asked about the map at a regular press briefing Wednesday in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said his government hoped the"relevant sides can remain objective and calm and refrain from overinterpreting.”
