BRUSSELS Security risks in the South China Sea mainly come from outside the region, a spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the European Union (EU) said Saturday, urging the EU to stop sowing discord. The South China Sea should not become a tool for certain countries to contain and suppress China, still less a wrestling ground for major-power rivalry, said the spokesperson.
The comments came in response to a statement issued by the European External Action Service (EEAS) earlier Saturday. The EU s diplomatic service claimed that tensions in the region, including the recent presence of large Chinese vessels at Whitsun Reef, endanger peace and stability.
