US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council on security issues, stated that his country, despite the absence of any claims to this maritime water management, has the right to interfere with processes occurring there. This is reported by TASS.
“Someone can say that the settlement of disputes in the South China Sea is not the US case, which have no claims there. But this is our business, and even more – the responsibility of each country to protect the principles that we agreed to follow, In order to peacefully resolve disputes on the sea, “the Blinken substantiated.
On Friday, August 6, speaking at the online session of the Forum “Association of Southeast Asia” forum (ASEAN), Blinken has already raised the theme of the Militarization of the South China Sea, and also expressed concern about building a nuclear potential, Reuters reported .
China for several decades seeks to impose their own vision of the marine border to neighboring countries. At present, Beijing conflicts with Vietnam, Brunhem, Malaysia and the Philippines. The reason for the disputes about marine borders was the wealth of individual areas of the South China natural resources, as well as security considerations. The United States and Member States ASEAN are concerned about the growth of China’s Navy, as well as creating a whole system of bulk islands. Official Beijing rejects all accusations, insisting that his policy in the South China Sea is the country’s interior.
