The new regulations issued by China Coast Guard (CCG) on May 15 are aimed to better maintain the maritime order and comply with universal practices, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning at a press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
"The implementation of the regulations of China Coast Guard is to standardize the administrative law-enforcement procedures of Coast Guard agencies and better maintain the maritime order, which complies with universal practices. Individuals and entities free from law-offending acts have no need to worry about them. I want to stress that it is the Philippine side, not the Chinese side, that is escalating the tensions and constantly making provocations in the South China Sea. China's door to dialog and communication with the Philippines is open, but the key is that the dialogs should be out of sincerity, and the dialogs achievements should be delivered into real action, rather than claiming to want dialog on lips while constantly making provocations and troubles in deeds," said Mao.

Saudi Arabia attaches great importance to its ties with China and expects to attract more Chinese investments to the country, said a Saudi investor.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday met with Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and co-chaired the Fourth Meeting of the High-Level Chinese-Saudi Joint Committee with him.
In an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Mohamed Ajlan, CEO of Ajlan and Bros Holding Group, one of the leading investment holding company conglomerates in the Middle East, expressed high expectations for the outcomes of Premier Li's visit to his country.
"The Chinese Premier's visit is a very important event for us, and very significant for China-Saudi ties. The head of the Saudi side in the joint committee is the Crown Prince himself, which reflects the strategic importance of this Committee to the Kingdom. We want to attract Chinese investments in these meetings," Ajlan said.
The CEO added that investment from China will in his opinion be the main focus of the bilateral cooperation in the near future.
Premier Li arrived in Riyadh on Tuesday for the joint committee meeting and an official visit to Saudi Arabia at the invitation of the crown prince.
During the visit, the two sides signed several bilateral cooperation documents on technical and vocational training, meteorology, and other areas.
