US defies China's warning on WPS dispute
Excerpt
There’s no stopping the United States from conducting freedom of navigation operations in the disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea. US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim said the US is concerned over China’s actions and its statement warning Washington to stay away from the disputed waters but said that the US will continue “to protect important international rights for everybody, including the Philippines.”Kim said China’s actions in the West Philippine Sea suggest “that they are moving towards militarization.”
