Secretary of State John Kerry on May 16 expressed concern during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, in Beijing that China should do more to reduce tensions in the South China Sea and seek diplomatic solutions to the disputes.

Kerry also raised the South China Sea in discussions with Chinese president Xi Jinping.

Three days later, Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Michelle Howard in a visit to Singapore called on China to clarify the purpose of its reclamation activities and offered U.S. support for Southeast Asian states taking a unified stance on the disputes.
