Seeking to call the shots in Asia-Pacific, the United States has been trying to transform the South China Sea into a hunting ground for its geopolitical self-interests.
Seeking to call the shots in Asia-Pacific, the United States has been trying to transform the South China Sea into a hunting ground for its geopolitical self-interests.
China rejected on Monday a United States statement on the South China Sea and said Washington is acting extremely irresponsibly by breaking its long-held commitment to take no position on the sovereignty issue of the sea and by sowing discord among countries in the region.
Recently, the United States and other countries outside the South China Sea have again made statements or comments regarding the so-called South China Sea arbitration award, claiming that it is "final and binding on the parties to the dispute" and demanding that China accept and implement the award.
The United States has again showed its intention to sow discord and create unnecessary trouble for China, this time with an inflammatory and deliberately misleading statement by Secretary of State Antony Blinken that aims to generate ill will over the South China Sea and China's relationship with relevant countries.
On Monday, which marks the fifth anniversary of the so-called South China Sea arbitration and the so-called award, the US suffered a head-on blow when trying to make provocations in South China Sea, fully exposing the US nature again as the “destroyer of regional stability.”
The Chinese military has dispatched units to warn off the United States' guided missile destroyer, the USS Benfold, which trespassed into the territorial waters of China's Xisha Islands in the South China Sea on Monday.
