China says no concession on territorial sovereignty (3)

In the contact and consultations at all levels, China has stated its government's solemn position on the issue and strong determination to safeguard territorial integrity, Zhang said.

China has urged Japan to have a correct reading of the situation, abandon any illusion and face up to reality. Japan should correct its mistake with credible steps and make real efforts so that the current problem will be handled properly, he said.

"We do not want to see the situation spin out of control. But this, however, is not to be decided by the Chinese side," Zhang said.

He demanded Japan take seriously China's solemn position and major concerns, and stop all actions that undermine China's territorial sovereignty.
