BEIJING — A top Chinese general said Saturday that China's newly created
islands in the disputed South China Sea are intended mainly to aid shipping
and dismissed concerns that Beijing is seeking to strengthen its control
over the strategically vital region.
General Fan Changlong's remarks came as expectations grow that the U.S.
might directly challenge Chinese claims in the South China Sea by sailing a
Navy ship inside the 12-nautical mile (21-kilometer) territorial limit
surrounding one of the man-made islands.
"We will never recklessly resort to the use of force, even on issues bearing
upon sovereignty, and have done our utmost to avoid unexpected conflicts,
said the general, a vice chairman of the powerful commission controlling the
military that is headed by President Xi Jinping.
Fan also said China would accelerate the establishment of an 8,000-member
stand-by force for U.N. peacekeeping missions promised by Xi at the United
Nations last month, as well as a commitment to train 2,000 foreign
peacekeepers over the next five years. | k*******r
