Pentagon receives warning from China

The US actions in the South China Sea could lead to a minor incident that sparks war, China’s naval commander, Admiral Wu Shengli, said during video conference talks with the US aimed at defusing tension in the region. He described the US actions as dangerous and provocative, Reuters reports.

On October 27, the US ambassador in Beijing Max Baucus was summoned to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, where he was handed a note of protest, which said that the US behaved extremely irresponsibly while patrolling.
