Congressman Ted Yoho expressed concerns about the so-called “nine-dash line” and reminded conference’s participants that “the United States stand with you and your support of free and open maritime zone in the Southeast Asian Sea and the East Sea.” In his remark, Senator John Cornyn promised, “to continue fighting against Chinese attempt to insert illegitimate claim over the South China Sea. It’s crucial for the security and prosperity of the international community the SCS remains free from Chinese coercion.”
