China claims most of the South China Sea. However, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan also have claims on the sea. China has often complained about the presence of US warships in the disputed sea. Last Monday, Beijing complained that the United States wanted to increase its power by repeatedly sending planes and warships where billions of dollars in trade spend each year. Any such activity is an obstacle to peace and stability in the region.

Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping has warned world leaders against a “new Cold War.” Instead, he called on everyone to unite in the face of the Corona epidemic. Speaking at a virtual conference in Davos on Monday, the Chinese president said: “Creating a small circle or creating a new Cold War, rejecting, threatening or intimidating others will only push the world into division.” US President Joe Biden recently spoke of plans to revive the global alliance to counter Chinese influence. In response, Xi Jinping called for unity.
