According to reports, The Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing would "remain firm to defend its rights in the region".
White House spokesman Sean Spicer yesterday said that the US would "make sure they protect their interests there".
It would be recalled that Barack Obama's administration refused to take sides in the dispute .
