Sun Lei emphasized that this meeting was not a suitable forum for discussing the South China Sea issue, but China had to clarify its solemn position regarding erroneous claims. The "South China Sea Arbitration Case" violates the principle of "state consent." The "arbitral tribunal" exceeded its authority and rendered a wrongful judgment; its "award" is illegal and invalid. The "arbitration case" is a political provocation disguised as law, aimed at denying Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea. China has never accepted or recognized this "award," and Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea are unaffected by it under any circumstances.The UK unemployment rate was 4.46% in May, up from 4.40% in the previous month.Switzerlands trade balance in May was 6.11 billion Swiss francs, compared with 3.098 billion Swiss francs in the previous month.
