THE United States has raised concerns about China's "coercion" in the South China Sea during ministerial meetings with Southeast Asian countries yet will not force countries in the region to pick sides, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met counterparts from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), as part of the Biden administration's emerging focus on Washington's engagement with and influence over the Indo-Pacific region.
A session on East Asia issues saw a number of non-Asean countries - including China, Japan and South Korea - take part, said the senior US official, speaking on condition of anonymity to preview the meetings.
