East sea tension triggered by China is viewpoint of many countries

(VOV) -The US State Department has confirmed that China’s aggressive action, causing tensions in the East China Sea, is fully recognized by many countries around the world.

Addressing the US State Department’s daily press briefing on May 13, spokesperson Jen Psaki denied accusations from China saying that the US involvement in the latest developments in the East Sea has undermined peace and stability in the region.

In response to a question raised by a Chinese reporter that the Chinese Foreign Ministry assessed the tensions in the East Sea were not caused by China, alleging the US has exaggerated the story, Jen Psaki said that the US stands united with many other countries, confirming that China’s provocative acts are the cause of rising tensions in the East Sea.

She also said that in a telephone conservation between US State Secretary John Kerry with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh on May 11, Kerry expressed grave concern about tensions in the East Sea, called on restraint and once again shared the view that China's actions are provocative.

During the phone talks with both Vietnamese and Chinese FMs, Kerry also expressed his view that disputes should be resolved by peaceful means, Jen Psaki said.
