Ministry in South China Sea warning
Print Edition
China’s Defense Ministry yesterday warned relevant countries against seeking private interests under the guise of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
The ministry said that freedom of navigation had never been affected by territorial and ocean rights disputes between the countries concerned.
Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun was responding to a question at a press briefing concerning a vow by the United States and the Philippines to protect freedom of navigation in Southeast Asia.
“The so-called protection of freedom of navigation is in fact a false proposition,” Yang told reporters. “We call on the countries concerned not to seek private interests under the guise of freedom of navigation.”
The Philippines is currently negotiating a framework agreement with the US that will allow greater US access to civilian and military facilities in the country to deploy aircraft, ships, troops and equipment and increase rotation of US troops there.
