Over the past nine years, the so-called South China Sea arbitration initiated by the Philippines has caused instability and heightened tensions in the region. On Friday, in Kuala Lumpur, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi strongly condemned the South China Sea arbitration case as a politically motivated scheme that was orchestrated by external forces seeking to destabilize the region for their own benefit. Some experts earlier spoke to CGTN, stating that the relevant parties in the region should make efforts to establish a new narrative of peace, cooperation and friendship, and avoid repeating mistakes.
