'US misleads with islands hype'

NPC spokeswoman: Washington sends warships to region as it accuses Beijing of militarization

It is the language of hegemony trying to hype a so-called militarization of the South China Sea and blame China for it, Fu Ying, spokeswoman for China's top legislature, said on Friday.

The hype aims to label the Chinese as "threatening regional peace" in the South China Sea and is "misleading", Fu said at a news conference before the opening on Saturday of the fourth session of the 12th NPC.
