Wang stressed that the Paracels are Chinese inherent territory under the effective authority of the Government in China, not in dispute. Prior to 1974, Viet Nam successive Governments have formally recognized the Paracel Islands have been China's territory.

The Chinese Government in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, in 2006, made a declaration relating to maritime delimitation and territorial and other disputes, and will not accept any compulsory settlement procedures. This is China, as a sovereign State, and to exercise rights under the international law of the States parties to the Convention as legitimate acts. Arbitration brought by unacceptance of the Philippines has sufficient basis in international law, and this position will not change.
