 BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhua) -- China on Monday urged the Philippines to stop making provocative1 comments over the Huangyan Island dispute and do more to calm the situation.

"We hope the Philippine side will stop making provocative comments time and again to prod2 public opinion, and avoid complicating3 the situation," said Foreign Ministry4 spokesman Liu Weimin at a press briefing.
His remarks came in response to a question about recent comments by Philippine Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, who was quoted by Philippine Daily Inquirer Monday as saying China's claim to Huangyan Island was "legally weak.""It is without controversy5 that Huangyan Island is an inherent part of Chinese territory," Liu said.
"Recently, tensions over Huangyan Island have eased. We hope the Philippine side would do more that helps calm the situation and boosts bilateral6 friendly cooperation," said the spokesman.
When asked whether China would withdraw Chinese vessels7 from waters of Huangyan Island, Hong said the country has reduced government ships there as tensions eased. Chinese fishing vessels were using the area for shelter with the onset8 of the typhoon season, he added.
