Beijing, China—China will “crush” any foreign incursion into its sovereign territory including in the South China Sea, a senior Beijing military official said Thursday on the sidelines of a defense forum.
Speaking to a small group of journalists including Agence France Presse at the Xiangshan forum, Chinese army Lieutenant General He Lei said: “We hope that the South China Sea will remain a sea of peace.” On Wednesday, China and the Philippines held what they called “candid” talks on South China Sea issues, in particular over a disputed reef that has become a hotspot for recent bilateral clashes.
“I hope that during his visit, during his meetings here, Michael Chase will listen more to the voices of China and the Chinese military,” he said.
