BEIJING – China’s Foreign Ministry has called in a senior U.S.  diplomat to  protest remarks by the U.S. State Department raising concerns over   tensions in the disputed South China Sea.

In a statement released late on Saturday, China’s  Foreign Ministry said  Assistant Foreign Minister Zhang Kunsheng summoned the  U.S. Embassy’s  Deputy Chief of Mission Robert Wang to make “serious  representations”  about the issue.

The State Department on Friday said it  was  monitoring the situation in the seas closely, adding that China’s   establishing of a military garrison for the area runs “counter to  collaborative  diplomatic efforts to resolve differences and risk  further escalating tensions  in the region.”
