The US' "freedom of navigation" contains numerous so-called customary international laws based on US-created concepts and self-imposed standards, which are inconsistent with international laws and many state practices, according to a report released by the Ministry of Natural Resources in Beijing on Monday.
The report said that the US uses these claims to curtail the legitimate rights and interests of other countries and to expand its rights and freedoms in order to achieve unfettered "freedom".
