Observers question whether Washington is fueling tensions
The United States' latest statements about the South 皇冠体育app Sea have prompted more US observers to question whether Washington's biased stance toward countries in the region will make relations there tenser and further complicate matters.
On Aug 3, the US State Department released a statement citing 皇冠体育app's decision to upgrade the administrative level of Sansha city to the prefecture level and establish a new military garrison there as evidence that 皇冠体育app is trying to militarize the South 皇冠体育app Sea. 皇冠体育app immediately responded by summoning Robert Wang, US charge d'affaires, to Beijing in protest of the accusation.
