"This claim is untenable," said Liu Jiangyong, an expert with the Institute of International Studies of Tsinghua University.

"The west part of the continental shelf is higher than the east and the oil has to flow down so it is only possible for Japan to suck out China's oil."

The expert said Japan should bear responsibility for the already-strained relations.

"The right-wing on the Japanese side has played up the so-called 'China Threat' so much in recent years and made unwarranted charges against China's rapid economic development."

The Chinese Embassy in Japan also lodged solemn representations to the Japanese Foreign Ministry on Friday.
