BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): China reiterated its grave concern on Tuesday (Oct 26) over the collision of a United States Navy submarine with an unknown object in the South China Sea, and urged Washington to release more information about the incident and stop the militarisation of the area.

It has been more than three weeks since the USS Connecticut, a Seawolf-class nuclear attack submarine, had an underwater collision in the South China Sea, yet Washington has remained tight-lipped about the incident, Beijing said.
