The United States must stop flexing its military muscle in waters near China's Nansha Islands in the South China Sea, Foreign Minister Wang Yi told US Secretary of State John Kerry in a phone call on Sunday.
He made the remarks a day after China's Ministry of National Defense said the US had committed a "serious military provocation" by flying two Air Force B-52 bombers over a Chinese island in the South China Sea on Dec 10. The US said one plane had strayed off course.
A US destroyer sailed within 12 nautical miles (22.2 kilometers) of China's Zhubi Reef on Oct 27.
