China media hits Washington for reneging on ‘neutrality’ pledge

China’s state-run media on Saturday accused the United States of “repeatedly violating its pledge of remaining neutral” in the South China Sea dispute.

“It has never missed an opportunity to highlight the ‘China threat’ theory while commenting on the disputes, and has been trying to pit other countries against China,” an opinion piece from the Xinhua News Agency and posted on the website of China Daily read.
