2014年CRI 李克强抵达伦敦对英国进行正式访问 中国反驳菲停止南海活动提议（在线收听）

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is now in Britain for an official visit.

Li Keqiang says he is looking forward to exchanging ideas with British leaders in a number of different fields.

He's scheduled to meet with Prime Minister David Cameron as part of the trip.

The premier is leading a delegation of some 200-plus business leaders who are expected to sign deals worth more than 30-billion US dollars in the UK.

The Chinese government is rejecting a suggestion by the Philippines for a region-wide ban on construction in the South China Sea.

The suggestion comes amid allegations by the Philippine side, which claims the Chinese side is trying to accelerate an "expansion agenda" in the South China Sea.

The Philippine government's accusations come following the announcement of the construction of a school in Sansha, a Chinese city incorporated in the Xisha Islands.

The Chinese government is calling on the Philippines to "refrain from any provocative actions," adding that the Philippines is also constructing its own facilities on the island chain.
