By accusing China's military exercises near the Xisha Islands of causing instability in the South China Sea, the US Defense Ministry disregarded the facts, confused right from wrong, and attempted to alienate countries in the region and reap unfair gains, China's Ministry of National Defense said on Thursday.
The US-led cacophony of criticism of China for its actions in the South China Sea is reaching a ridiculous and dangerous level.
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is going to conduct military exercises in waters off China’s Xisha Isands from July 1st to 5th, according to a navigation warning released by the Hainan MSA Bureau on June 27 on the website of the Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) of the People’s Republic of China.
China should continue building civilian facilities on its Nansha Islands to provide more public services to the international community, a leading researcher on South China Sea affairs suggested.
Cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins, in the South China Sea are at risk of disappearing amid overfishing, scientists warn in an article recently published in the journal Science.
Vegetables have recently been successfully harvested in the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea for the first time by the Chinese navy, who will later spread the technology in order to better support the navy officers and civilians living on the islands.
A Chinese spokesperson said Wednesday that China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea would not be altered by unjustified accusations from any country.
