The US has asked China to follow India in dealing with territorial disputes with its neighbours, ahead of an arbitration ruling on the South China Sea. It referred to how India complied with the UN court’s ruling in 2014 in favour of Bangladesh in a three-decade-old maritime dispute between the two South Asian countries.
China’s position of non-participation and non-acceptance on the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s ruling on the hotly contested waters has drawn severe criticism from the US.
