BANGKOK - China on Monday called on the U.S. military to stop flexing its muscles in the South China Sea and to avoid adding"new uncertainties" over Taiwan, during high-level talks that underscored tension between the world's two largest economies.
During closed-door talks on the sidelines of a gathering of defence ministers in Bangkok, Wei urged Esper to"stop flexing muscles in the South China Sea and to not provoke and escalate tensions in the South China Sea," the spokesman, Wu Qian, said. The U.S. Navy regularly vexes China by conducting what it calls"freedom of navigation" operations by ships close to islands China occupies in the South China Sea.
Wei underscored to Esper China's position that it would"not tolerate any Taiwan independence incident," Wu said, adding that it opposed any official or military contact with Taiwan.
