Q&A: China’s Ambassador to the U.S. on the South China Sea, Trade and Security |
By WSJ 2015-05-31
...what China is doing is only on the islands and reefs that fall within our sovereignty and our control. We are not trying to take back the islands and reefs occupied by others, although we believe such occupation is illegal... the United States has overreacted to the situation and is escalating the situation... We are not talking about the Gulf of Mexico; we are not talking about the coast of California—we are not even talking about Hawaii. We are talking about South China Sea, which is so close to China. If you don’t have any hostile intention, why are you doing all this? |
