WASHINGTON, Muharram 14, 1437, October 27, 2015, SPA -- The deployment of a U.S. warship near an artificial island built by China in disputed waters of the South China Sea should not have any negative impact on relations between Washington and Beijing, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Tuesday, Reuters reported. The U.S. guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen sailed close to one of China's man-made islands on Tuesday, drawing an angry rebuke from Beijing, which said it had tracked and warned the ship and called in the U.S. ambassador to protest. --SPA 22:13 LOCAL TIME 19:13 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
