China Urges U.S., Japan to Stop Pointing Fingers on S. China Sea
2016-06-05 09:35:00 CRIENGLISH.com Web Editor: Fei Fei

The Chinese foreign ministry is demanding the United States and Japan stop pointing fingers at China on the South China Sea.

It's a response to remarks made by U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and his Japanese counterpart Gen Nakatani at the Shangri-La security summit in Singapore.

Cater has suggested China's military activities in the South China Sea are isolating itself.

In countering the suggestion, the Chinese Foreign Ministry says China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters, saying any construction activities on islands and reefs in the area are legitimate.

Chinese Admiral Sun Jianguo, head of Chinese delegation to the Shangri-La Dialogue, has also called on Japan to respect China's interests and concerns, and not to intervene in or hype up the South China Sea.

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has issued a statement at the talks in Singapore, saying maritime issue should not become a zero-sum game for the region.

Indonesia's Defense Minister says the UN Charter and other documents need to be given full consideration, saying disputes in the South China Sea need to be resolved step by step.

It is a conventional wisdom, that the US and the China, WILL NOT go to war to punish the earth and pollute the atmosphere with fallout.

So what is the TRUE meaning of the following warning:

US vows it will take action if Beijing builds new South China Sea structures

What type of actions other than war?

China is a UNSC P-5 = No UN mandated sanctions.

Trade sanctions (western)?

Look at this, From Twitter world:
65% of the Walmart merchandise is "made in China"

Hollow words?
Yes.
And China knows this.

Yes.

Yep, even they themselves know it's hollow.

If they could have done something, they would have done it in 2012 when China seized the Scarborough shoal from the Philippines, forcing America to abandon one of their oldest "mutual defence treaties" and run away.

They were obligated to fight by mutual defence treaty, or if they couldn't do that, at least raise sanctions. They did neither, for obvious reasons.

Same reason why they sat by and watched while Russia took Crimea.

The Iraq/Aghanistan/Libya wars seem to be the dying breaths of the sole superpower. They realize they can't even beat rag tag militias, let alone a country that can actually hit back.

I am hoping Trump will change this though, and force America to keep their promises. Gotta root for that maniac to win.

• China hits out at US provocations, says trouble no fear
  

 

[OrionHunter]

What 'action'? Will the US of A nuke mainland China?

This is all the Yanks can do -

Really? You do realize that this map will significantly increase China's border.

Map 1936 is not included Paracel and Spratly Islands.

Not surprising since in 1936, Japan was in full control of the South China Sea. Of course after WWII, Japan signed treaty declaring that it relinquish all control and claim to the SCS, and after which ROC declare its claim to the SCS with the 11 dash line. All before the other claimants of today gain their independence.

9 line claim of ROC in 1848 after WW II is baseless.

In the past Vietnam Nguyen Dynastry has been controlled Islands as part of Quangnam province.

Map 1936 is not included Paracel and Spratly Islands.

So? You can find a lot of US map without including all the little islands dotted around the world.

9 line claim of ROC in 1848 after WW II is baseless.

In the past Vietnam Nguyen Dynastry has been controlled Islands as part of Quangnam province.

Nguyen Dynasty was not a sovereign entity. It was a vassal state of Qing then become a French colony. You are laying your claim upon the occupation of a colonial power, and their illegitimate gains.

What does isanction with defense secretary?

U will come know just wait for new president USA

 

[rott]

Dont be fooled by US lackey and US media for labelling as all ASEAN against China. See who speaks now.

http://usa.hir-portal.hu/news/thailand-asks-china-rivals-to-look-beyond-border-rows

There is only a few trouble maker in ASEAN. Most ASEAN are eager to cooperate with China.

Indian medias are one of the worst kind especially "The Times of India". It has always been anti - China.

 

[fsayed]

Yes, US will do nothing. Only good for India is that SCS is quite far away from it and we can indulge in few rhetorics.

That will harm US equally. They are used to cheap goods from china.


That's changing USA Japan and Europe are building industrial corridor in India to become less dependent on china

Thailand and Vietnam r growing in manufacturing hub for the same reasons

 

[IceCold]

What action? Cry some more.

 

[cochine]

So? You can find a lot of US map without including all the little islands dotted around the world.

Its stated on title of the map, there is full map of China. Before 1936, ROC didn't claimed that slands in SCS is sea territory of China.

Nguyen Dynasty was not a sovereign entity. It was a vassal state of Qing then become a French colony. You are laying your claim upon the occupation of a colonial power, and their illegitimate gains.

Apply your logic, Qing is Kingdom origin from north east Asia, had invaded and colonized China. And now, China is not country with a full sovereignty state, because Taiwan is not under control of center govt in Peking.

Spratly and Paracel is part of territory Vietnam, long time before west imperialist France came to Vietnam.

Based on agreement was signed France is protectorate to Vietnam only. In fact Nguyen Dynasty Vietnam existed until 1945, when throne was handed to Ho Chi Minh govt..

"US vows it will take action if Beijing builds new South China Sea structures."

If this is the actual wording, US is coming dangerously closer to North Korean rhetoric.

Let's see, comes November, which crazy finger will be resting on US nukes.

Another american clown, thanks for the laugh.

I have met lots of astute and nice Indian people both in India or Singapore. You are certainly among them. Hat's off to you,Sir

Yep, even they themselves know it's hollow.

Next round is going to be in the hollow under the SCS. Lets see if the US subs are as good as they say.

This is how he was broadcasted on Chinese TV.
