WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Sinabi ng United States sa China na hindi nito kikilalanin ang exclusion zone sa South China Sea at ituturing ang hakbang na “destabilizing,” inihayag ni U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work nitong Miyerkules.
“We don’t believe they (China) have a basis in international law, and we’ve said over and over (that) we will fly, sail and go wherever international law allows,” ani Work.
“We have spoken quite plainly to our Chinese counterparts and said that we think an ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone) would be destabilizing. We would prefer that all of the claims in the South China Sea be handled through mediation and not force or coercion,” aniya.
