The commander of US forces in the Pacific has warned that China\u2019s military is more aggressively asserting its territorial claims in regional waters.<\/p>\n

Admiral Robert Willard told the Financial Times: \u201cThere has been an assertiveness that has been growing over time, particularly in the South China Sea and in the East China Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said China\u2019s extensive claims to islands and waters in the region were \u201cgenerating increasing concern broadly across the region and require address\u201d.<\/p>\n

The admiral\u2019s remarks follow complaints by Japan in recent weeks about aggressive behaviour from a Chinese coastguard vessel in contested waters and a Chinese military helicopter in international waters.<\/p>\n
