China's Defense Minister Wei Fenghe has asked the U.S. to stop its "wrong words and actions", strengthen maritime risk management and avoid dangerous measures which could escalate tensions, according to a statement issued by the Xinhua News Agency. The Xinhua report follows a phone call between Wei and his U.S. counterpart Defense Secretary Mark Esper, in which Wei stated China's stance on issues including the South China Sea and Taiwan. According to Xinhua, Esper said that when the relations between the two countries are tense, the two militaries should maintain dialogue and consultation, control the crisis, prevent misjudgment and reduce risks.
