In response to a question about Vietnam expanding Bai Jiao 10 times by land reclamation, dredging a 299-meter-wide waterway located at the western end of Bai Jiao wide enough to host large vessels including warships, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that the Nansha Qundao are China's inherent territory, and Bai Jiao is a part of the Nansha Qundao, according to CCTV News.

China always opposes relevant countries conducting construction activities on illegally-occupied islands and reefs, Guo said.
