Larus also spoke recently to Radio Free Asia for a segment titled “What is the difference between China’s South China Sea policy of falling out with the Philippines and getting close to Vietnam? Larus told the RFA reporter that the conflict between China and the Philippines at Xianbin Reef highlighted that the aforementioned “temporary arrangement” only coordinated the friction between the two countries around the Second Thomas Shoal, but did not fundamentally resolve the dispute over control in the South China Sea.
