US uses ASEAN summit to escalate confrontation with Beijing
By Mike Head
6 August 2015
The US administration and its allies are ramping up their threats against China, using the annual foreign ministers’ summit of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) this week in Malaysia to accuse Beijing of “militarising” the South China Sea.
These allegations have intensified the tensions over these strategic waters that contain some of the world’s most heavily used shipping routes, raising the danger of triggering a US-China war, whether by deliberate provocation or miscalculation.
