Full coverage: The South China Sea Issue

China's foreign minister Wang Yi has spoken with the United States Secretary of State John Kerry over the phone regarding the country's claims over the South China Sea.

Wang warned Washington against moves that infringe on China's sovereignty. He also reiterated China's rejection of the jurisdiction of the International Court of Arbitration in a case unilaterally initiated by the Philippines. He called it a "farce" that should come to an end. The court is set to give its ruling next Tuesday.
