China urges the United States to stop playing up tensions and instigating confrontation in the South China Sea, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Friday.
Guo made the statement in response to a media query about U.S. State Department spokesperson's remarks concerning Huangyan Dao.
Huangyan Dao has always been China's territory. It is within China's sovereign rights to establish and administer the Huangyan Dao national nature reserve, Guo said.
He pointed out that the United States is in no position to point fingers, and the "South China Sea arbitration award", which is illegal, null and void, provides no solid ground for the U.S. to speak for the Philippines.
China urges the U.S. to stop playing up tensions and instigating confrontation in the South China Sea, stop citing the illegal and invalid "award", and stop using maritime issues as a pretext to smear China, said the spokesman.

China donated a shipment of critical medical supplies to Jordan's Royal Medical Services on Monday to bolster healthcare for sick and wounded Palestinians who have fled Gaza.
The supplies include essential medical equipment and consumables, as well as surgical equipment, patient monitors, medical beds, and transport stretchers. According to Jordanian sources, these supplies are being distributed to multiple hospitals and medical institutions across the country.
Hatem Al-Abbadi, assistant director general of the Jordanian Royal Medical Services, thanked China for its support, saying the donation would help relieve the suffering of people in Gaza and reflected the strong relations between Jordan and China.
He also voiced hope for further cooperation between the two countries in the medical and humanitarian fields.
"This medical support reflects the joint efforts of Jordan and China to advance and continuously develop their cooperation. Whether in the present, the past, or the future, we look forward to continuing our cooperation," he said.
