The topic of the South China Sea occupied the central position during the Shangri-La Dialogue 2016 that took place in Singapore. Forum attendee, Russian military expert Vasily Kashin, spoke to Sputnik about the provisions of the forum and stance of regional powers regarding the South China Sea dispute.

Today, a number of large and powerful US allies around the world, including the UK and France are involved in the South China Sea dispute. They claim that China should adopt “rule of international law,” Kashin explained.

European diplomats justify this involvement by saying that their interest lays in the “freedom of navigation” in the South China Sea, as well as the fact that China’s refusal to accept arbitration decision would set a dangerous precedent for other regions of the world’s oceans, including the Arctic.
