China: U.S. ‘Covering Up’ South China Sea Submarine CollisionGabrielle Reyes 14 Oct 2021
China on Monday accused the U.S. of purposefully delaying the release of information detailing a mysterious collision by one of its nuclear submarines with an unknown object in the South China Sea on October 2, claiming Washington seeks to “cover up” the incident, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported Wednesday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian criticized the U.S. government’s delay in releasing further information about the incident in comments to reporters at a regular press briefing on October 11.
“After this most recent incident, it took the US side five days to come up with a vague statement. Such irresponsible attitude and stonewalling and cover-up practice only make the international community more suspicious of the US intention and details of the accident,” he said.
