China reserves the right to a "necessary reaction" after Japan issued a defense review that called on Beijing to stop building oil and gas exploration platforms close to disputed waters in the East China Sea, the Defense Ministry has said, SIA reports citing the Reuters.
In the paper issued on Tuesday, Tokyo expressed concern that Chinese drills could tap reservoirs that extend into Japan's waters.
"This kind of action completely lays bare the two-faced nature of Japan's foreign policy and has a detrimental impact on peace and stability in the Asia Pacific region," China's Defense Ministry said in a statement issued late on Tuesday.
China would further evaluate Japan's defense review, or white paper, when the full text is issued and would then make a "necessary reaction depending on the situation", it said.
