China urges EU to stop ‘provoking trouble' in South China Sea dispute
The Chinese embassy in the Philippines advised Manila on Thursday not to 'fantasize' about relying on outside forces to resolve the South China Sea dispute, and urged the European Union to stop 'provoking trouble.' An embassy spokesperson made the comments after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas visited the Philippine capital and voiced concern over China's activities in the busy waterway, where its claims overlap those of some Southeast Asian nations. 'The EU is not a party to the South China Sea disputes and has no right to interfere in the South China Sea differences between China and the Philippines,' the spokesperson said in a statement on the embassy website. The Philippine embassy in Beijing did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

China urges Philippines to stop provocation in South China Sea
China's foreign ministry on Friday urged the Philippines to immediately stop "infringement and provocation" in the South China Sea or face China's "resolute response." The remarks came a day after Beijing and Manila traded accusations following a confrontation between two of their vessels in contested waters of the South China Sea. It was legitimate for China to take necessary measures, and the U.S. should not use the Philippines to stir up trouble in the region, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a daily press conference.
