China urges U.S. not to sensationalize S. China Sea dispute
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has urged the US not to sensationalise the South China Sea dispute. The remark was made by a ministry spokesman at a daily press conference in Beijing on Wednesday. It was in response to US Defense Secretary Ash Carter's early remarks, as Carter warned against the so-called "aggressive" actions in the South China sea, which includes the placement of surface-to-air missiles.
"It is nothing new for China to deploy national defense facilities in its own sovereignty, which is an exercise of the right of self-protection and self-defense based on the international law. It's not at all an "aggressive" action, let alone militarisation. The United States, for a long time, has been stepping up military deployment in and near the South China sea, holding military exercises as well as mobilizing military warships to spy on other countries. All these actions are the real causes of the tense situation in the South China Sea and may potentially cause the militarisation in the South China Sea," said Hong Lei, spokesman of China Foreign Ministry.
