MANILA — Saying that the new map is only one among many, Beijing asked countries not to “over-read” a new official map which includes the disputed maritime territories as part of their country.<\/p>\n

“We have seen relevant report. China’s publishing houses in some regions published various kinds of Chinese maps with the purpose of serving the public, and there is no need to over-read it,”\u00a0China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunyung said in a press conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The map is China’s first large format full vertical version which presented that disputed waterway in the West Philippine Sea using the same scale as the rest of the mainland.<\/p>\n

It also showed Beijing’s extensive claims in the South China Sea using a nine-dash line.<\/p>\n

“Chinese government’s position on the South China Sea is consistent, clear and free of any change,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson\u00a0added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Philippines has earlier criticized the map describing it as China’s “ambitious expansionism” over the disputed territories.<\/p>\n

“We should also take note that no other country recognizes China’s previously nine-dash line claim so publishing a new map does not make the territories that they claim,” said \u00a0Charles Jose, Foreign Affairs spokesman, said in an interview with ANC on Wednesday night.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
