U.S. And China Dispute Over Reported Missiles In South China Sea

The United States has recently warned China that there will be “consequences” for its growing militarization of disputed islands in the South China Sea. This comes amid reports that China has moved missiles to the region. The threat comes as the two nations continue talks to resolve a major trade dispute, and follows a formal complaint to Beijing over lasers blinding U.S. pilots in the Horn of Africa.
