Because of its one-China policy, Beijing has claimed the chains of several islands in the South China Sea. On Friday, the Chinese Ministry of Defense, U.S.S. John McCain said he entered the waters surrounding the disputed islands without government permission. Following the discovery of the U.S. Navy ship, the Chinese military quickly ordered the ship to leave before sending troops to carry out surveillance procedures.

Senior Colonel Zhang Ndong called on the United States to stop violating China’s sovereignty over the region.

He said: “We urge the United States to immediately stop such provocative activities and to strictly control and restrict military action in the sea and air.”

The military official said China would continue to take necessary steps to safeguard the regional stability of the South China Sea.

China has accused the United States of trying to increase its presence in the region by sending naval vessels to conduct freedom of navigation operations.

“In the South China Sea, we seek to preserve peace and stability, maintain the freedom of the seas in accordance with international law, maintain the uninterrupted flow of trade, and oppose any attempt to force or use force to resolve disputes.

“We share these deep and lasting interests with many of our allies and partners who have long supported the international order based on rules.

“Beijing is using intimidation to undermine the sovereignty of Southeast Asian coastal states in the South China Sea, to oppress them from maritime resources, to assert unilateral domination and to change international law.

“The world will not allow Beijing to consider the South China Sea as its maritime empire.”
