Beijing accuses US of sowing discord with South China Sea comments
China has described the US’s rejection of its maritime claims in the South China Sea as completely unjustified and accused America of attempting to sow discord between China and the Southeast Asian countries with which it has territorial disputes.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington said on Tuesday that a statement issued by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo deliberately distorts the facts and disregards the efforts of China and the others to achieve peace and stability in the South China Sea.
