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.
