China has warned the United States not to ‘stir up any conflict’ in the South China Sea and said it was ready to replay the Korean War or Vietnam if provoked.

Liu Zhenmin, a vice minister in China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: ‘The Chinese people do not want to have war, so we will be opposed to U.S. if it stirs up any conflict.

‘Of course, if the Korean War or Vietnam War are replayed, then we will have to defend ourselves.’

China has adopted an increasingly aggressive posture in the South China Sea as it seeks to intimidate neighbors Vietnam and the Philippines over the Spratly Islands, which are believed to be at the center of an oilfield.

A tribunal at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague is expected to rule in the next couple months on Beijing’s claims to 1.4 million square miles of ocean, though China has already rejected those proceedings.

There has also been growing tension with the U.S. and its allies Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.

Earlier this week the Pentagon claimed two Chinese aircraft intercepted a U.S. EP-3 reconaissance plane near Hainan island in an ‘unsafe’ manner.
