BEIJING: Remarks by US officials on China's role in the South China Sea are slanderous, its foreign ministry said on Monday , after the United States voiced concern over reports of Chinese interference with oil and gas activities in the disputed waters.
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said such comments by Bolton and Pompeo were baseless, adding that the United States and other"external forces" were stirring up trouble in the South China Sea. Vietnam, which for years has been embroiled in a dispute with China over the potentially energy-rich region, on Friday accused a Chinese oil survey vessel and its escorts of violating its sovereignty and demanded that China remove the ships from Vietnamese waters.
