BEIJING, May 29 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang has called on relevant countries to stop ganging up and escalating tensions in the South China Sea and refrain from actions that undermine regional peace.
Zhang Xiaogang made the statement in response to a question about joint patrols by the Philippines and the United States in the South China Sea.
He stressed that the current situation in the South China Sea is generally stable, and there are no problems with freedom of navigation and overflight, which all states enjoy in accordance with international law.
“Some countries are engaging in confrontation under the guise of cooperation, flexing their muscles under the guise of freedom, and sowing chaos under the guise of order, thereby becoming the main source of risks to undermine peace and stability in the South China Sea,” said a Chinese defense official. –0–
