Washington attempted to benefit from the South China Sea disputes by meddling in the regional situation, just like it did by interfering in Latin American affairs, Carlos Garcia said in a recent interview with Xinhua, adding that Southeast Asian countries should have a clear understanding of the U.S. act.
