China has condemned Japan's weapon sales to India as a "shameless move."

According to media report, the Japanese Government is promoting the sale of weapons worth 1.6 billion U.S. dollars to India. Japan will lower the prices as much as possible in exchange for strengthened cooperation in defense and security and to encourage India to become more involved on the South China Sea issue.

Hua Chunying, spokesperson of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on Tuesday that China has no objection to normal defense cooperation, but it would be a "shameless move" if somebody uses this for ulterior motives.
