BANGKOK - China's top diplomat on Wednesday warned outside countries not to amplify disputes in the South China Sea, where recent Chinese maneuvering has rattled regional states and drawn condemnation from the United States.
Wang, who is scheduled to meet US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Bangkok, reiterated after meeting ASEAN foreign ministers that China opposes interference by countries outside the region. China recently said US criticism of its role in the South China Sea, including comments by Pompeo, were "slanderous."
China claims large parts of the South China Sea through which roughly $3.4 trillion in shipping passes each year. Claimants including Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam contest the territorial claims. Researchers and analysts say the latest standoff between Chinese and Vietnamese vessels could give the United States a new incentive to pressure China.
