Indonesian President Joko Widodo said China’s claims to the majority of the South China Sea have “no legal foundation in international law,” he told Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, has been a self-appointed broker in the myriad territorial disputes between its neighbors and China over the South China Sea.
