MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A senior U.S. lawmaker says China should
agree to face the Philippines before a U.N. arbitration tribunal to resolve the
two Asian countries’ territorial rifts peacefully and avoid a crisis in the
region.
The Philippines announced last
week that it was bringing a case before a U.N. arbitration tribunal to
challenge China’s claims to virtually the entire South China Sea, including
potentially oil-rich areas. China has not responded clearly, but one of its
diplomats has pressed Beijing’s demand that rival claimants resolve the
disputes through one-on-one negotiations.
Rep. Edward Royce, R-Calif.,
chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee, told The Associated Press on
Tuesday that it’s best for China to agree to the international arbitration to
avoid a possible “crisis which roils the markets or creates uncertainty” in the
region.
