Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Sun Weidong said in a speech on Sunday that the biggest security challenge in the South China Sea comes from the US, with its military deployments dragging the region into an 'arms race whirlpool.' Recent friction between China and US ally the Philippines in the South China Sea has turned the strategically important area into a potential flashpoint between Washington and Beijing. Sun criticized the US for manipulating geopolitics, inciting conflict, and damaging the legitimate interests of coastal countries in the South China Sea through military actions. He emphasized China's commitment to dialogue to resolve disputes and control tensions in the region.
