China's embassy in the Philippines spokesman Ji Lingpeng criticized recent remarks by Poland's foreign ministry secretary of state Bartoszewski that China must comply with the 2016 South China Sea arbitral award and that Poland supports the Philippines. Ji said China's position is consistent: the 2016 award violates principles of state consent and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, contradicts basic facts in the South China Sea, and is illegal, invalid and non‑binding. China does not accept or recognize the award, opposes any claims or actions based on it, and urged Poland— which it said is not a party to the dispute— to respect China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights, act cautiously and stop endorsing the illegal award.
