US sending warship to SCS a "dangerous" move: China warns

January 31, 2016 15:24

China today hit out at US' "irresponsible" move to send a warship near a disputed island in the strategic South China Sea to challenge its sovereignty, warning that America's deliberate provocations would have

"extremely dangerous consequences" to regional stability.

The Chinese armed forces will take whatever measures necessary to safeguard China's sovereignty and security, no matter what provocations the US side may take, China's Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said.

Yang's statement came hours after the USS Curtis Wilbur, a guided missile destroyer, sailed within 12 nautical miles of the Zhongjian Dao (Triton Island), part of the Xisha Islands (Paracel Islands)-- an archipelago claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
