BEIJING: The Chinese embassy in the Philippines advised Manila on Thursday (June 5) not to "fantasise" about relying on outside forces to resolve the South China Sea dispute, and urged the European Union to stop "provoking trouble".
An embassy spokesperson made the comments after EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas visited the Philippine capital and voiced concern over China's activities in the busy waterway, where its claims overlap those of some South-East Asian nations.
