President Xi said to Kerry during the two-day China trip that despite tensions between the two countries in South China Sea, they should handle the dispute in the area that would not harm the bilateral ties of U.S.-China relations.
Reclamation activity of China in South China Sea has caused danger to other claimants including Vietnam and the Philippines, the report added. It was recently reported that U.S. and China had been on high-stakes rivalry above skies in South China Sea.
China's President Xi told to Kerry during the secretary's two-day trip that China is looking for U.S.-China relations development. "I look forward to continuing to develop this relationship with President Obama and to bring China-U.S. relations to a new height along a track of a new model of major country relationship," Xi said.
While the two-visit has been dominated by security concerns over the disputed territory, Kerry said that China has to reduce the tensions in the South China Sea. He added that the determination of reclamation activities of Beijing in South China Sea to secure China's national interest is "as hard as a rock."
Meanwhile, the top diplomat in China, Yang Jiechi, told to Kerry that U.S. can do more on region's stability, The Malay Mail Online reported. "I hope the United States can do more for peace and stability in the region," yang told to Kerry. The diplomat told to Kerry that U.S. has to "properly control our differences and sensitive issues" and "view our strategic intentions objectively and rationally," the report added.
