China seeks a peaceful resolution of disputes in the South China Sea but will not subjugate its national interest, Admiral San Jiaguo told a regional defense forum in Singapore. There is no change to China's interest in safeguarding the freedom navigation, Sun added. "China strives to play a constructive role in international affairs with an objective and impartial position and will never depend on or subjugate itself to any external forces," Sun said at the Shangri-La Dialogue, a day after US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter used his address at the forum to single out China as a source of instability.
