Beijing, Aug. 26 (ANI): China has denounced Japan's Lower House for adopting a resolution criticizing the August 15 landing on the Senkaku Islands by Chinese activists.
Japan's attempt to boost its position in the territorial dispute is 'illegal and futile', Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.
According to the Japan Times, in the first resolution over the Senkaku issue ever adopted by the Lower House, the chamber demanded the government strongly urge China to prevent any further landings.
It also asked China to take every possible measure, including strengthening territorial surveillance, the report added.
Hong Lei said that if Japan wanted to deepen relations with China, it should take 'practical action to that end' and take no provocative measures, such as adopting critical resolutions.
Hong Lei also repeated Beijing's position that the islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times, the report said. (ANI)
