China Urges U.S. to Halt Philippine Provocations in South China Sea

China has urged the United States to cease its support for the Philippines' provocations in the South China Sea. This follows concerns expressed by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell about Beijing's destabilizing actions in the region, a claim refuted by China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning.

China on Friday called on the United States to stop tolerating and supporting the Philippines' "provocations," after U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell expressed concerns about Beijing's "destabilizing actions in the South China Sea."

The source of current tense situations is the Philippine side, the foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a news conference.
