BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that it rejected Australia's concerns about a new air defence zone China has set up in the East China Sea, after Australia called in the Chinese ambassador to ask for an explanation.

"The Australian side's irresponsible remarks about China's air defence identification zone in the East China Sea are completely wrong and China cannot accept them," ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement.
