International Comments on developments on East Sea
Huyen Trang 11:58, 2014/06/02
U.S.Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel`s statement in regional security forum Shangri - la Dialogue in Singapore this year is probably the most obvious manifestations of the US `s views on China strengthening territorial disputes with other nations in Southeast Asia.
Accordingly, although the US won't support any party against any party in the territorial  disputes in the region,  it resolutely opposes bullying, pressure and force using to carry out territorial claims.
 
 
Mr. Hagel said that the United States will not ignore basic principles of international order being challenged. Mr. Hagel's expressions  have criticized China for  destabilizing the South China Sea. The US never have made strong speech like this referring to China's teritorial disputes with other nations.
U.S. policy on developments in East Sea  are very clear. The US does not care about China 's territorial sovereignty disputes with other partners in the region, however, paying attention to how countries protect their territorial claims.
 U.S. committes to ensure Japan's security and strengthen military cooperation with the Philippines. Both Japan and the Philippines have territorial sovereignty disputes with China. 
Mr. Hagel warns China deliberately and reminds allies and partners to be aware of the U.S's strategy in this issue.
