Edited and translated by People's Daily Online The 11th Asia Security Summit, also known as the Shangri-LaDialogue, was held in Singapore from June 1 to June 3. The U.S. media said ahead of the summit that territorial disputesin the South China Sea would be a major topic at the meeting. Theyeven predicted that senior U.S. military officials would takeadvantage of the South China Sea issue to increase pressure onChina, and make a commitment to protecting its Asia-Pacific allies,which are increasingly upset by China's rise. Such prediction is not groundless. In recent years, top U.S.politicians and media outlets have hyped up the South China Seaissue, and created waves in the otherwise peaceful sea in the nameof maintaining freedom of navigation. It is impossible to keep the United States completely out of theSouth China Sea issue, but it is becoming increasingly necessary todraw a clear red line for the country. With such a red line, thesafety of navigation in the South China Sea will be maintained, theSouth China Sea issue will be peacefully resolved, and a newsecurity pattern will be gradually established in Asia. The United States has a stake in the South China Sea issue, but isnot a country around the sea. China cannot stop the United Statesfrom establishing a military alliance with or providing militarysupport to certain countries around the sea. However, theterritorial disputes in the South China Sea are between China andother claimants, and are no business of the United States, so Chinawill not allow it to intervene. The settlement of the South China Sea issue does not need anarbitrator. China is not a hegemonic state, and will never seekhegemony, especially in the South China Sea issue. China believesthat the issue can be solved through negotiations with otherclaimants, and only negotiations will ensure stability and peace inAsia. The safety of navigation in the South China Sea, home to some ofthe world's most important shipping lanes, serves the interests ofmany countries. China has never claimed the entire South China Seaas its territorial waters. 1 2. The e-commerce company in China offers quality products such as CE5 E-Cigarette , China Ego E-Cig, and more.
