The United States prevailed on Japan and South Korea on Friday to use their strongest language yet in a joint statement to condemn China's 'dangerous and aggressive actions' in the South China Sea.
CAMP DAVID, Maryland, Aug 18 - The United States prevailed on Japan and South Korea on Friday to use their strongest language yet in a joint statement to condemn China's "dangerous and aggressive actions" in the South China Sea.
The statement also committed to hold trilateral military training exercises annually and to share real-time information on North Korean missile launches by the end of 2023. The countries promised to hold trilateral summits annually as well. The statement said the three would launch a supply-chain early warning system pilot project to expand information-sharing and fight economic coercion together.
But it was the language on China that stood out as stronger than expected, and which is likely to provoke a response from Beijing, which is a vital trading partner for both Korea and Japan.
