“China and the United States exchanged heated words yesterday over the recent tensions between Beijing and its neighbours about disputed territory in the South China Sea. ‘[John Kerry] said China’s introduction of an oil rig and numerous government vessels in waters disputed with Vietnam was provocative,’ US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, referring to a telephone call between the US secretary of state and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Wang called on the US to be objective and urged it to ‘stick to its promises, and act and speak cautiously’, according to a statement on the Foreign Ministry’s website.”
