YUNNAN: Asean's foreign ministers reiterated their "serious concerns" to China over South China Sea developments at a special meeting, as their Chinese counterpart urged them not to view the disputed waters as "the sum of China-Asean ties".
But in a hint of the challenges that remain between the two sides, a joint press conference yesterday between the co-chairs of the meeting - Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi - was helmed at the last minute only by Wang.
