SINGAPORE— China “could end up erecting a Great Wall of self-isolation” if it continues with provocative militarization of disputed islets in the South China Sea, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday.
Carter told Asian defense ministers, security analysts and scholars attending the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore there is “growing anxiety” about Chinese actions in the strategic waters and elsewhere.
Asked how the U.S. military would respond to any dredging by China on Scarborough Shoal, 200 kilometers west of Subic Bay and also claimed by the Philippines, Carter responded that such an action would be “provocative and destabilizing,” adding that while “I hope this development doesn’t occur” it would prompt unspecified action by the United States and others.
