BEIJING June 23 - China urged the United States on Wednesday to leave the South China Sea dispute to the claimant states, saying that U.S. involvement may make the situation worse, its most direct warning to Washington in recent weeks.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Cui Tiankai’s comments to reporters come amid the biggest flare-up in regional tensions in years over competing maritime sovereignty claims in the South China Sea, where tensions have risen in the past month on concerns that China is becoming more assertive in its claim to waters believed to be rich in oil and gas.
