Singapore urges PRC to clarify its claims in South China Seas

Singapore called on the Peoples Republic of China to clarify its claims in the South China Sea following recent confrontations with Vietnam and the Philippines. In a statement, Singapore's foreign ministry said: "We ... think it is in China's own interests to clarify its claims in the SCS (South China Sea) with more precision as the current ambiguity as to their extent has caused serious concerns in the international maritime community."
