Security Council that a conflict "would have serious global consequences for security and for commerce," sparking a strong rebuke from China.
"Conflict in the South China Sea, or in any ocean, would have serious global consequences for security, and for commerce," Blinken told a Security Council meeting on maritime security. "When a state faces no consequences for ignoring these rules, it fuels greater impunity and instability everywhere."
"We have seen dangerous encounters between vessels at sea and provocative actions to advance unlawful maritime claims," said Blinken, adding that Washington was concerned by actions that "intimidate and bully other states from lawfully accessing their maritime resources." "This country itself has become the biggest threat to peace and stability in the South China Sea," Dai said.
