China's efforts to stake its claim to most of the South China Sea should spark fear around the world, President Aquino told Agence France-Presse on Tuesday. “Does it engender fear? Yes, I think it should engender fear for the rest of the world,” Mr. Aquino said in an exclusive interview in Malacañang. Mr. Aquino said China’s reclamation activities on reefs and islets in contested parts of the South China Sea, and other actions to assert sovereignty, threatened access to international shipping lanes and fishing grounds there.
