US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton shakes hands with China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.
A summit of key regional foreign ministers has ducked the tough questions posed by China's growing assertiveness in East Asia, taking the easy road to promise better cooperation after natural disasters.
But the long-running dispute over islands in the South China Sea, on which China and south-east Asian countries earlier agreed to a vague code of conduct, resurfaced in bilateral talks between the US and China.
China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told his US counterpart Hillary Clinton to respect Chinese ''territorial integrity'', his spokesman Liu Weiming said.
Mrs Clinton met Mr Yang on the sidelines of the meeting in Bali - the first time the US has officially taken part in the talks known as the East Asia Summit.
Mrs Clinton has praised the so-called code of conduct over the disputed islands, which China takes as sovereign territory.
But in a move likely to irk China, Mrs Clinton is set to make a speech today to her Asian counterparts in which she will emphasise that the US has a ''strategic stake'' in the South China Sea.
China had refused to make any concessions, dragging out negotiations on the code of conduct for almost a decade. But in recent weeks it has moved to ensure that progress is made before regional leaders meet in November.
Mr Yang said the guidelines would provide ''favourable conditions'' for settling the dispute.
He and Mrs Clinton also pledged to discuss North Korea's nuclear program, another regional flashpoint.
But the main summit did not seek to tackle the South China Sea dispute in detail and North Korea's nuclear program was mostly ignored - although officials from North and South Korea did hold talks on the sidelines.
Instead, ministers focused on improving responses to natural disasters such as the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March.
South China Sea tensions a threat to peace: Clinton

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that a recent surge in tensions over the South China Sea threatened regional peace, while warning against force to solve the dispute.
Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that a recent surge in tensions over the South China Sea threatened regional peace, while warning against force to solve the dispute.
'The United States is concerned that recent incidents in the South China Sea threaten the peace and stability on which the remarkable progress of the Asia Pacific region has been built,' Mrs Clinton told a security forum in Indonesia.
'These incidents endanger the safety of life at sea, escalate tensions, undermine freedom of navigation, and pose risks to lawful unimpeded commerce and economic development.' In prepared remarks to foreign ministers at the Asean Regional Forum, Mrs Clinton also warned all of the rival claimants to the strategically vital South China Sea against using force to bolster their positions.
'Each of the parties should comply with their commitments to respect freedom of navigation and over-flight in the South China Sea in accordance with international law, to resolve their disputes through peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use of force,' she said.
The sea is believed to be extremely rich in oil and gas deposits, as well as being home to shipping lanes linking East Asia with Europe and the Middle East that are vital to global trade.

Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi speaks with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before a meeting on the Indonesian island of Bali on Friday.
"The White House would never like to see China's dominance in the area, but it will not allow either the Philippines or Vietnam to misunderstand its intentions and get involved in any military actions," Niu Xinchun, said a scholar on US studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations.
"So the declaration of conduct is in the interests of both China and the US," Niu said.
Washington's support of some countries does not mean the US supports them provoking China or even starting a war with China, but is aimed at the balance of power in the region, said Niu.
Still, Clinton reiterated that the United States adheres to a one-China policy and respects China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Clinton will fly on Sunday from Bali to Hong Kong and stop by the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen on Monday for a meeting with State Councilor Dai Bingguo.
She is due to give a speech in Hong Kong on Monday that will emphasize the US view of economic ties with China. 4 9

Flattering U.S. With Imitation
Will China take a "strategic" stake in the U.S? With 1.6 trillion in U.S. treasury bonds and bills, can we please buy up U.S. corporations - from newspapers, internet medias, TV broadcasting, radios, high tech companies, primary industries companies, farms, green companies, energy companies, financial institutions, defense industries, etc..?Beiing, please make it real. Our economies are so "intertwined" and interdependent. Buy them over and get the Americans to work for us, ok? Let's see how their far right wing extremists like it. Please return them the favor. There are just too many Chinese working for Americans in China. Americans mustn't complain if we do as they do. How much more "sincerity" can we display that we admire them so much! Gosh, I love the U.S. so much. Its so great. Right that we should have a strategic stake in it!
