BEIJING, June 9 — The US poses the largest security challenge in the South China Sea as its military deployment there is turning it into “the whirlpool of an arms race ”, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong said in remarks published today.
“At present, the biggest security challenge in the South China Sea comes from outside the region,” Sun said in comments published by his ministry, after attending a high-level meeting on East Asian cooperation in Laos.Sun said US-led forces were “promoting military deployment and actions in the South China Sea, inciting and intensifying maritime disputes and contradictions, and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of coastal countries”.
China is committed to properly managing disputes with the parties in the South China Sea through dialogue, he added.In April, the Philippines said during a meeting with US allies that it was determined to assert its sovereign rights in the South China Sea, accusing China of escalating “its harassment” of the Philippines.
