Ouyang Yujing, deputy director at the Department of Boundary and Ocean Affairs with the Chinese foreign ministry1 tells CRI the Chinese government is resolute2 in protecting this country's national interests.
But at the same time, he says China's door is always open for talks and cooperation.
"The islands disputes and the overlapping3 claim of territorial4 waters are only part of China's relations with the neighborhood, not the whole picture. They are historical issues. "
He notes China has completed border demarcation negotiations5 with 12 of its 14 neighbors.
As far as the regional disputes are concerned, Ouyang says the Philippines' plans to take the South China Sea dispute to a UN tribunal violates the basic consensus6 laid out in the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
The Chinese government is on record opposing the Philippines' move to take the issue to arbitration7 as part of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Ouyang Yujing contends all the players in the South China Sea are fully8 capable of working together for mutual9 benefit.
"Currently we are facing some difficulties to jointly10 develop the South China Sea, but the principal is practical. I believe we can find ways to develop the area together and promote regional peace and common prosperity with the sincerity11 and wisdom of involved parties. "
The senior diplomat12 says the policies laid out by former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping three decades ago are still relevant today.
"Putting aside disputes and jointly developing the area is a political expediency13 to reach a win-win situation in economics, without harming the sovereignty and marine14 rights and interests of each party. It is in line with international laws, and is in wide practice globally."
Ouyang Yujing says the Chinese government will maintain its commitment toward peaceful development as its guideline in negotiations.
For CRI, I'm Su Yi.
