For escalating the South China Sea dispute, China has always advocated the consultation and negotiation to solve the problem. The 1980s, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping established the South China Sea "shelving disputes and seeking common development" principle. In 2002, China and ASEAN countries signed the first political document on the South China Sea - "Declaration on Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea."

However, the situation within 10 days after the mutation. June 13, live-fire exercise was held in Vietnam in the South China Sea. The Philippines in the South China Sea stirred activities gradually heating up.

Luo said that the relevant countries have repeatedly violated "the South China Sea Declaration on the Conduct of States", but in the South China Sea issue, the countries do not swagger, "brute force" will not have good results.
