China’s defense ministry has demanded an end to US military operations in the South China Sea.
China’s defence ministry has demanded an end to US military operations in the South China Sea, saying they pose a threat to regional security and increase the risks of collisions and even nuclear leaks in the strategic waterway.
According to the US Navy, the USS Connecticut – a Seawolf class SSN – collided with an unknown object in the South China Sea on October 2, injuring 11 sailors on board. The report said the submarine’s nuclear propulsion system was not affected and it was able to return to the Guam naval base for follow-up checks.
Tan said the incident showed the US was posing a serious threat to the region through its freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea.
