China is calling for the U.S. to take responsibility for an accident in the South China Sea last month.reports that Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin spoke about the incident Tuesday during a daily briefing. He requested that the U.S. provide full details about the incident, which involved the nuclear-powered submarine USS Connecticut striking an underwater mountain.
Wenbin further describes how the U.S. fails to offer"a clear explanation" of the submarine's purpose in the area. According to the spokesman, this demonstrates that the U.S. is showing a"lack of transparency and responsibility" regarding the incident.
China claims sovereignty over virtually the entire South China Sea, through which trillions of dollars of international trade pass each year. Six governments claim islands, atolls, and exclusive economic zones in the sea, while the U.S. insists that freedom of navigation be maintained, reinforcing that with regular military flights and naval patrols, and training missions around the region.
