In a jolt to China, an arbitration court in The Hague on Tuesday ruled that Beijing has "no historic rights" in the South China Sea.
The Philippines had challenged Beijing`s right to exploit resources across the South China Sea.
Responding to the ruling, the Philippines` foreign minister called for "restraint and sobriety" in the South China Sea.
China, however, said that it "does not accept and does not recognise" the ruling by the UN-backed tribunal, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The comments, in a brief dispatch that did not identify a source, follow a ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague that China has no historic rights to its claimed "nine-dash line".
The ruling risks stoking further tensions in Southeast Asia.

ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήThe tribunal handling the South China Sea arbitration case unilaterally initiated by the former Philippine government issued its final award on Tuesday, amid a global chorus that as the panel has no jurisdiction, its decision is naturally null and void.
