CHINA-US: SOUTH CHINA SEA

 At London’s Defence & Security Equipment International, or DSEI, conference on September 14, 2015, American and Chinese Admirals sat alongside one another to present their views on maritime security in the Asia-Pacific region. After the opening pleasantries, Chinese Vice Admiral and Commander of PLAN's North Sea Fleet Yuan Yubai asserted that: “The South China Sea, as the name indicated, is a sea area. It belongs to China.” said Vice Adm. Yuan Yubai, who commands the North Sea Fleet for the People’s Liberation Army Navy. He added that China is working with the U.S. military on a code of conduct for aircraft encounters and expressed the hope that "after this code of conduct is successfully passed, all the neighboring countries around this area will have good communication with each other whenever such unexpected encounters occur.” Vice Admiral Yuan Yubai devoted most of his speech to talking about the Maritime Silk Road.
