Q: Comments on reports that China is reclaiming more land from the South China Sea.
A: We are building a construction in our own homeland targeting nobody. We are unlike those who build "unauthorized constructions" at others' homes and meanwhile we will never accept those who point their fingers at us only because we are doing construction at our own home.
