US should stop trying to make waves

The call from US Secretary of State John Kerry for a freeze on so-called provocative acts in the South China Sea at a regional meeting held in Myanmar over the weekend is just another example of the United States' meddling in the disputes.

As some analysts have already pointed out, this seemingly reasonable move is intended to disrupt China's legitimate and normal drilling operations in its territorial waters. Those who are familiar with the US political lexicon will know that the US is pointing an accusing finger at China once again.

In fact, "provocative acts" is not the language that the US uses when it comes to the reckless behavior of the Philippines or Vietnam in the South China Sea. Although high-ranking US officials have repeatedly accused China of taking provocative acts each time the latter moves to safeguard its sovereignty and rights and interests in the waters.
