(Adds China foreign ministry comments)
TOKYO, March 17 (Reuters) - Senior officials from United
States and Japan on Tuesday raised concerns about China's
behaviour in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and other areas and said it was
inconsistent with the international order.
A joint statement from U.S. Secretary of State Antony
Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and their Japanese
counterparts said they had serious concerns "about recent
disruptive developments in the region such as the China Coast
Guard Law."
They said they had discussed Washington's "unwavering
commitment" to defend Japan in the East China Sea, and
reiterated their opposition to China's "unlawful" maritime
claims in South China Sea.
China's foreign ministry said on Wednesday it has lodged
stern representations with the United States and Japan over the
statement and is strongly urging the two countries to stop
interfering in its internal affairs.
"The U.S.-Japan joint statement is a malicious attack on
China's foreign policy and grossly interferes in China's
internal affairs, in an attempt to harm China's interest. China
deplores and rejects this," ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told
a regular news briefing.
