In a heated debate at the UN Security Council, Chinese envoy Geng Shuang refuted U.S. accusations over the South China Sea, stating that the United States—under the banner of freedom of navigation—has repeatedly flexed its military muscles, stirring up confrontations among regional nations.
Geng argued that such actions pose the greatest threat to peace and stability in the region. He dismissed the verdict of the South China Sea Arbitration as "illegal and invalid," reinforcing China’s determination to work with ASEAN countries to keep the sea a zone of peace, friendship, and cooperation. 🌊🤝
On the Taiwan issue, Geng urged the U.S. to uphold its commitment to the one-China principle, emphasizing that balanced dialogue is the key to ensuring maritime security. His remarks serve as a reminder that international cooperation—rather than unilateral muscle-flexing—paves the way for sustainable, peaceful ocean governance.
With a call for building a global maritime community based on shared interests and win-win cooperation, Geng’s message resonates with a young, digitally savvy audience seeking insights into dynamic geopolitical events.
