[Chinese delegation: the United States is the real driver of tension in the South China Sea]-- on June 3, local time, the Chinese delegation attending the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore held a Chinese and foreign media briefing. On the South China Sea issue, Lieutenant General Jing Jianfeng, deputy chief of staff of the Joint staff of the Central military Commission, said that in recent years, the United States has continued to intervene in the South China Sea issue, taking the opportunity to crack down on other countries. This runs counter to the will and efforts of countries in the region to seek peace, development and stability. China has indisputable sovereignty over the islands and adjacent waters in the South China Sea. China's sovereignty and rights and interests in the South China Sea were formed in the long history and are in line with international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The so-called "award" in the South China Sea arbitration case is illegal and invalid, and China does not accept or recognize it. China advocates the settlement of disputes in the South China Sea by peaceful means. China has always been committed to resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation with the countries directly concerned on the basis of respecting history, facts and international law. China believes that countries in the region have the ability, confidence and wisdom to handle the South China Sea issue well, and there is no need for foreign countries to meddle in their own affairs. Jing Jianfeng said that the United States is the real driver of tension in the South China Sea. In recent years, the United States has frequently sent advanced ships and aircraft to the South China Sea to provoke trouble, domineering, and normally carry out the so-called "freedom of navigation." the United States has also intensified, increasing temporary deployment, rotational deployment, additional military bases, and continuously strengthening the presence of forces in the South China Sea, which will only bring more security risks and greater potential crises.
