(UPDATES) THE Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has accused the United States of stoking tensions in the South China Sea (SCS) to advance its own geopolitical interests in the region.

'When diplomatic efforts are being made by China and the Philippines to manage differences, the United States stokes the situation instead of promoting peace and facilitating talks,' the embassy said in a statement issued Thursday.
