Updated: Jul 14,2016 7:15 PM english.gov.cn
Premier Li Keqiang on July 14 called on Vietnam to value the hard-won momentum in the development of bilateral relations and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea with China.
He made the remarks while meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Mongolia, where they are to attend the 11th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).
Premier Li noted that China-Vietnam relations have showed positive development momentum since last year, and preliminary results have been achieved in maritime, land and financial cooperation. China is willing to join efforts with Vietnam to accelerate the alignment of development strategies of both sides, and steadily promote production capacity cooperation, the Premier said.
He called on both sides to work together to promote the healthy, stable development of comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two countries.
Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that China and Vietnam are comrades and brothers, and their common interests outweigh their differences. Vietnam places its relations with China as the top priority of its external relations, and is willing to facilitate the bilateral negotiation mechanism on maritime issues.
Talking about the South China Sea issue, Premier Li said that the Chinese government neither accepts nor recognizes the award of an arbitral tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration established at the request of the Philippines. China is willing to settle disputes through negotiations and in accordance with the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and international laws.
Nguyen Xuan Phuc, for his part, said Vietnam respects China’s stance and maintains that the disputes should be solved peacefully through dialogues.

You are rather stupid. Wonder if it's because of the IQ.
Even in the world of ordinary citizens, the victim and the accused along with their lawyers can request for a change in venue of the hearing if the venue does not suit either.
Please refrain from posting. You've got stupid written all over your post.

China’s “own goals” in the South China Sea. Several paragraphs in the Tribunal’s award expose episodes of China shooting itself in the foot. For instance, there’s the Tribunal’s statement in paragraph 1164 that it would have found itself lacking jurisdiction over the seven artificial island-bearing features had China stated that they had military applications. Instead, the Tribunal “will not find activities to be military in nature when China itself has consistently resisted such classification and affirmed the opposite at the highest level.” Remember Xi Jinping’s pledge in the White House Rose Garden that the Nansha Islands (the Chinese name for the Spratlys) would not be militarized? Turns out that turned what could have been a less embarrassing verdict into a virtual calamity for China.
Other areas in the award–for instance, paragraph 209, on petroleum block assignment–highlight simple lapses in China’s conceptual framing of its position. In the aforementioned paragraph, the Tribunal points out that had China eschewed framing its entitlement to continental shelf rights in terms of the language of “historic rights” and used language consistent with UNCLOS, it may have had some luck with the Tribunal. Instead, the judges found that “the framing of China’s objections strongly indicates that China considers its rights with respect to petroleum resources to stem from historic rights,” which were declared invalid elsewhere.
One final example of the Tribunal underlining an “own goal” by China is in its reading of the nine-dash line itself. Paragraph 213 notes that China’s declaration of baselines in the Paracels and around Hainan contradicts its ambiguous claim to a territorial sea or internal waters within the area claimed by the nine-dash line. “China would presumably not have done so if the waters both within and beyond 12 nautical miles of those islands already formed part of China’s territorial sea (or internal waters) by virtue of a claim to historic rights through the ‘nine-dash line,’” it notes.
One wonders if China could have fared better on these counts if it had actively participated in the arbitration process, instead of refusing to participate and leaving its position up to the Tribunal’s interpretation based on a lone position paper, public statements, and past declarations.

China is member of PCA. Please withdraw from it if you want to be taken seriously on the matter.
