- An animated infographic depicting China’s territorial disputes. Is China trying to expand its territory?

ONE reason China’s spectacular rise sometimes alarms its neighbours is that it is not a status quo power. From its inland, western borders to its eastern and southern seaboard, it claims territory it does not control.
In the west, China’s border dispute with India is more than a minor cartographic tiff. China claims an area of India that is three times the size of Switzerland, the state of Arunachal Pradesh.
Further west, China occupies Indian claimed territory next to Ladakh in Kashmir, an area called the Aksai Chin. China humiliated India in a brief, bloody war over the dispute in 1962. Since 1988, the two countries have put the dispute on the backburner and got on with developing commercial ties, despite occasional flare-ups.
More immediately dangerous is the stand-off between China and Japan over disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as the Senkakus in Japan and Diaoyu in Chinese.
Japan says they have always been its territory and admits no dispute, claiming also that China only started expressing an interest when it began to seem the area might be rich in oil and gas.
A new and much more dangerous phase of the dispute began in 2012 after Japan’s government nationalised three of the islands by buying them from their private owner.
China accused Japan of breaking an understanding not to change the islands’ status. Ever since, it has been challenging not just Japan’s claim to sovereignty over the islands, but its claim to control them, sending Chinese ships and planes to patrol them.
Raising the stakes is Japan’s alliance with America, which says that though it takes no position on who owns the islands, they are covered by its defence treaty with Japan, since it administers them.
Especially provocative to America and Japan was China’s unilateral announcement in November 2013 of an Air-defence Identification Zone, covering the islands.
The worry is less that big powers will deliberately go to war over these desolate little rocks, but that an accidental collision at sea or in the air might escalate unforeseeably.
Similar fears cloud disputes in the South China Sea, where the maritime claims in South-East Asia are even more complex, and, again, competition is made more intense by speculation about vast potential wealth in hydrocarbon resources.
Vietnam was incensed in May 2014 when China moved a massive oil-rig to drill for two months in what it claimed as its waters.
This was near the Paracel Islands, controlled by China since it evicted the former South Vietnamese from them in 1974.
To the south, China and Vietnam also claim the Spratly archipelago, as does Taiwan, whose claim in the sea mirrors China’s. But the Philippines also has a substantial claim. Malaysia and even tiny Brunei also have an interest.
But it is with Vietnam and the Philippines that China’s disputes are most active. The Philippines accuses China of salami-slicing tactics, stealthily expanding its presence in disputed waters. In 1995 it evicted the Philippines from Mischief Reef, and in 2012 from Scarborough Shoal.
This year it has tried to stop the Philippines from resupplying a small garrison it maintains on the Second Thomas Shoal, and appears to be building an airstrip on the Johnson South Reef.
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-is one forum for tackling these disputes. But UNCLOS cannot rule over territorial disputes, just over the waters habitable islands are entitled to.
And China and Taiwan point to a map published in the 1940s, showing a big U-shaped nine-dashed line around the edge of the sea. That, they say, is historically all China’s. This has no basis in international law, and the Philippines, to China’s fury, is challenging it at an UNCLOS tribunal.
In fact China often fails to clarify whether its claims are based on the nine-dashed line, or on claims to islands, rocks and shoals.
That lack of clarity alarms not just its neighbours and rival claimants, but the United States, which says it has its own national interest in the freedom of navigation in a sea through which a huge chunk of global trade passes
Also alarming is that if these arguments over tiny specks in the sea become so unmanageable, what hope is there for resolving the really big issues? And the biggest of all is the status of Taiwan, still seen by China as part of its territory, but in practice independent since 1949.
For now, Taiwan and China have a thriving commercial relationship. But polls suggest that few in Taiwan hanker after unification with the mainland. And China’s rulers still insist that one day they will have to accept just that.

Really?
dude seems that asian mostly centururies ago also ruled by kingdoms that is big enough compared to current countries, but having the legal border (although its not binding in IO) is to share and have a bit sense of equality or else greed will again thrive. especially the problem is that most country abide by UNCLOS in bordering their territory while china actually cant move on from its past glory instead of making a new one
most of the south china sea isn't even near the chinese coast

namn last time I check, guam isn't anywhere close to USA too.
bensontam a lot of islands in the pacific (includng guam) were won over in ww2 by the allies as a result of intense fighting.
china is just CLAIMING these islands, while the us actually fought the japanese for theirs.
also the us and other countries don't pick an spot in the sea far away from the mainland and just say it's theirs

Question: What does China want?
Answer: Everything.
SWAGGALaGGAZ We want what belongs to us. So why we claim all those should be ours? It's simply history and what should be.
Gao David You're not the only country that wants what belongs to them. We want to keep what's ours also. Don't be so ignorant.
So Mr. "not ignorant", Pls show me which part we wants not belong to us. Well that can never be defined,
let me put it this way: which part we claim do not belong to us before the China civil war (1945-1949) ?
It was a civil war without involving any other countries and regions (except some Military equipment supported by U.S. to one side of the battle), so I think it's natural that the new government keep the territory same as before the civil war?
Gao David oh please tibetan doesn't want to stay with u...China doesn't have freedom...free Tibet
SWAGGALaGGAZ I hate China most of the South Asian Nation hates China .it acts like a Villain the world should unite against this Villain .
May be China wants everything but it will not get anything.
Cut all the craps, China simply want one thing: the USA getting out of the East Asia/West Pacific arena, and then being the hegemony in this arena, just like the US being the hegemony of the world.
that's not for China to decide, if China keeps expanding in the region they can't blame other nations for requesting assistance from the US.
Gorilder you are 100% right. It's gonna be the USA vs China, and in this rivalry, it's not about right or wrong, only which side eventually win matters
***** you can wait and see, if Asian countries know the US permanently leaves the arena, leaving China the only super power in the area, then it's not about trust, not about being democratic internally or not. You will see. It's human instinct
***** I don't think China wants to be anyone's enemy. Once it replaces the US in Asian pacific, it would grant you pardon. Look at these ten ASEAN countries, Thai, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia are generally very close to China; Indonesia is OK, Brunei is too small to be relevant; Singapore is flipping based on its own national interest; Philippines is already flipped towards China's side, leaving only Vietnam being somewhat hostile, but still it is flipping. You see the trend? It's not about how one country's political system is organized, it's all about geo-political check and balance. Why you believe in so deep about democracy? Because your country is half colonized by the US, so from day one when you were born, you were taught to believe so without further critical thinking. I agree that, compared with formal European empires like British empire, the USA is much more friendly. Why is that? is it because of democracy? No, it is because the USA is a Puritan country, or, it's all about culture. I agree that China should move toward democracy in the long run, however, in terms of geo-political check and balance, being democratic or not is not relevant. It's just your dream after decades of systematic brainwash.
Exactly. The question is, will the world be a better place with China hegemony or US hegemony? The Economist seems to eagerly dismiss the former possibility.
They want whole asia!
Watch the Caspian report video on china. after trying to succeed using Chinese politics and failure for over 100 years china is attempting to emulate how America and European countries rose to power. The way China is behaving is similar to America during the early 20th century like claiming Cuba and parts of Panama through war sometimes. China is simply trying out the western recipe to success.
I can understand the claim on Japan and India daa-dee-daa. But that whole chunk down there in South-east Asia region... Surely Vietnam and Philippine wouldn't just sit there idly.
Vietnam was part of Imperial China for over a millennium, from 111 BC to 938 AD. The territorial issues are very complicated.
Don't worry the American's are their to protect us (especially since we just reopened the American military bases in my old country) for now and the Philippines has sent evidence against China to a UN tribunal.
Ancient imperial dynasty China was large territory compare to this day..
The claim on territory depends on historical activities, it is not surprised Chinese controlled South China Sea in old times. The claim may look ridiculous from map, but if you look at US's territory.......
They sat quiet for at least a hundred year, why not just stay quiet
In the future, we will witness them claiming that the whole Pakistan belongs to china😂😂

Treaty of Taipei (Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty)
Article 2
It is recognized that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan signed at the city of San Francisco in the United States of America on September 8, 1951 (hereinafter referred to as the San Francisco Treaty), Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands.
Article 4
It is recognized that all treaties, conventions and agreements concluded before December 9, 1941, between China and Japan have become null and void as a consequence of the war.
Article 10
For the purposes of the present Treaty, nationals of the Republic of China, shall be deemed to include all the inhabitants and former inhabitants of Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and their descendents who are of the Chinese nationality in accordance with the laws and regulations which have been or may hereafter be enforced by the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores); and juridical persons of the Republic of China shall be deemed to include all those registered under the laws and regulations which have been or may hereafter be enforced by the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores).

The PCA is not a court, but rather a bureaucracy that provide services of arbitral tribunal to resolve disputes between member states, international organizations, or private parties arising out of international agreements....China is signatory of UNCLOS means China must obey because its binding if china not obey shame on your country no word of HONOR. :)))
Well, Diaoyu/Senkaku Island is also claimed by ROC(Taiwan).
Economist, how could you miss that one?
A lot of Chinese territorial dispute with its neighbors are caused by the wily fox British and American when they draw up division lines, purposely in the past.Even Korea was split by the Americans into North Korea and South Korea when The Americans wanted to reward communist Soviets for joining the Pacific war.The moral of the lesson is ,if you are weak, you are bound to be a pawn to stronger, bigger nations.
Bt Tan fuck super power you guys just want want and get tactical position you dont even think of the civilian lives -_-
If China did not violate international law by claiming territory it would probably have much better relations with its neighbours. Interesting how China picks on weaker countries yet does not claim territory along its border with Russia as much of China's land had been taken by the Russians in the 1800's.
China's claim of the territories predates the establishment of the international law, i.e. United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which came effective on 16 November 1994. As far as the land disputes with Russia, think they had some kind of land exchange/swap treaties signed and settled the disputes.
@@sphereiceberg6534 right so you basically admit the claims are baseless, were that the case the U.K. would have claims to all the lands they once had. In fact it's even worse because the CCP isn't an extension of imperial China it's a new state created after it chased the Republic of China to Taiwan so in a way they aren't even a successor of the Republic of China.

Just a theory of mine, I think they want to own a small part land or territory from a small country so when a war or dispute happens , the small country doesn't have enough military to defend their lands.
cant wait to see more, who agrees ?

What do England want?
Ireland, Scotland, India, Hong Kong, etc. If they can’t claim it, they disrespect them.
To all who is Chinese NO OFFENSE but this is the truth
, In the Philippines china went through our Exclusive Economic Zone(EEZ) where foreign people fishing are not allowed there (INCLUDING CHINA) so they started fishing there almost wiping out half of the fish population where we don't have fish left for our people that this is their only work and they also destroys our corals.Whenever we get near "China's teritory super near the Philippines " our fisher men will be forced to go away and fish somewhere else , if they do not follow what the Chinese said they will shoot us or crash their big boats to our fishing boats and leave us to sink into the water and die. This is our side of story....h
Sadly but that's the truth. It's like we don't have rights in our territory. I hope this will be solved soon. Chinese population is became bigger here in philippines :'(

Mao Zedung: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
Anyone want to argue with me that China DOESN'T still live by this adage?
Oh.. and spare me some shit about "America, this..." or "America, that...."
Can I use that quotation to attempt to understand the american freedom to buy and hold arms, as lovers of gun slingers love to say it is essential to american concept of freedom and democracy. In this case, they think their voting power came from the barrel of their own guns?
No. You can't use it... because it's clear you don't know the difference between Maoist tyranny and civilians taking up arms to resist that very same kind of tyranny.
***** But resist the tyranny wih guns. Is that so different? You would prevent the application of an idea based on 'moral' ground? What do you think about the oppressed peasants working all their lives on land they can never own, what about the mighty landlords barons of many land, they and children never had to work? What about the bankers of wall street spared of misery of economic recession that they were responsible? Did you know the chinese peasant put mao the tyrant in power? Do you know there exist Tibetans who hang two pictures on their hall, one is Dalai Lama for their religion, he other is Mao who set them free of slavery? Upon witnessing their devotion to Mao, I was gobsmacked, I did not know any better than these people. So what if my family suffered during the culture revolution, what if the ranpoche family ask for greater autonomy?
minjun yang Sorry, are you trying to make a point? If so, I got lost somewhere in all the propaganda for the regime of communist China.
***** Speak for yourself. Your arrogance and indifference knows no bound.
Actually Taiwan itself is not China's territory. The people are chinese, just because its people left mainland China in 1949 to move to Taiwan, China can't claim the island theirs. The former name of Taiwan was Formosa a long, long time ago.
taiwan's official name is REPUBLIC OF CHINA， which is product of chinses civil war like american civil war. mainland china and taiwan island belong to china.
this video was put together very well.
thanks
Though I am not Chinese nationality , I can see this video is heavily biased against China. It is based on the theory of "China is a threat" then proving how large China's threat is. It is assuming other countries' claim is legal and appropriate, what US' world order is the common sense of the world, as well as the territory not in "controlled" is not the nation's land.
Just take one point here: With the legal background, the land not controlled doesn't mean the land unwanted. Can you steal a land that is not controlled by your neighbor? That is the view of many countries involved in the South China Sea dispute, which is provoked by U.S. Just because China is growing fast and US feels threatened of his throne in the world. Right after WWII, China is ally countries led by US. The 9 dash line were set far earlier than that time. If China were a threat, then US' silent consent is inconsistent with its current view. The point is the government replacement in China in 1949. But take a quick questions here: how many countries U.S. has been invading? how many of that for China/ Russia (so called the enemy of US)? Well, you know the answer.
However, it is not U.S. government created this conspiracy. Anyone in that government position may do the same thing. It is something inside human making us far from peace and making the political dirty.
Michaelmicrobio Great insight. Let politics be politics.
Michaelmicrobio yup, another conspiracy enthusiast 😒
Your terrible English suggest you are of some foreign nationality and furthermore, you overlook the fact that China is clearly the aggressor in all these situations. Challenging domestic disputes with the soul intention of dominating a formerly sovereign market.

30 March 1939:
Spratlys. Japan occupies, annexes and renames the Spratly Islands "Shinnan Shoto "(New Southern Islands) and places them under the Governor-General of Formosa. Later, the IJN establishes a seaplane base and a submarine base at Itu Aba (Nagashima -"Long Island") the largest of the Spratly Islands
japan occupied the Spratly and Paracel islands in March 1939. in 1939 pinoys are still an American colony, if as you say Spratly is part of pinoy banana land then how can the japanese occupy the territory of an American colony in 1939 two fucking YEARS BEFORE Pearl Harbor and the war between USA and Japan??
go have a google search for yourself in march 1939 the only country that was at war with japan was China. NOT the pinoys or the Americans.

Well...theyre big bullies.... how r u gonna fight them back
Dispute goes both ways. To make the statement that china's claims worry its neighbours, wouldn't be true the other way around as well - It's also true that China worries about some of its neighbours' territorial claims. Unless you already presume that china doesn't have any legitimacy over any of these disputes?
theadam22 Reasoning that china does not have a right to claim changes nothing about my original statement. If anything it just confirms there was unsaid implication that you already presume china do not have a right to claim. And indeed you did just that in your reply.
theadam22 My point was that without further evidence been presented, the natural position when we encounter a dispute is to be neutral, without making rash judgement until we hear both side of argument. Indeed most news report try to present balanced view points, try to be inpartial, meaning we take sides, and when you present only one side argument, it is propaganda. So in a neutral position, you need to presume that every sides have reasons to back their claims, because if you imply china doesn't have a reason to claim without presenting your evidence, then you are wasting your time, china simply needs to say been a small nation do not give your any more rights to bully your big neighbour, been a small nation should not give you any more empathy if you claim land against a big nation. Maybe you still don't get my point. But whether china have a right to claim is another topic, and my original post is about the pretence of trying to be inpartial. You just came out said you think china shouldn't have a claim, whereas my original post is that don't imply china shouldn't claim without presenting evidence and still trying to pass as a piece of balanced report when it is not. I don't know if you will understand this, or whether you ever bother to at least search Wikipedia on the topic of south china sea dispute. But if you ever did, I'm happy to tell you as why I think china should claim, as in they may not have a strong claim, but none of the rival claimants have anything substantially stronger. Don't jump into the biggest and most confusing territorial dispute in the world at this moment, and think you got easy answer.
minjun yang Look all thing you did, Don't hide under CCTV 's dress and become foolish , I Don't believe all Chinese say, I watch carefully Chinese do
Trần What I did was to raise concern of double standard and hypocrisy in biased media report. I don't know what possibly you were referring to.

China is being ridiculous. Perhaps the USA should claim ownership of all Pacific waters between California and Hawaii, and from Hawaii all the way up to the EEZ of our friends like Japan. Then we should assess fees on Chinese vessels, but free to everyone else. :-)
Actually France is the worst when it comes to EEZ. But, China is building artificial islands in international (or disputed) waters; the USA hasn't done that.
Akin Khoo yeah, because they're following international maritime law and whoop de do hawaii is an island state providing it with an ezz of 200 nautical miles. if you're trying to imply that the EEZ stretches from the pacific to the american coastline, then you are dead wrong.
The Beijing clique is so presentist in its historical interpretations it is beyond ironic.

quick & correct explanation
china showed a 19th century map in claiming the Scarborough shoal but philippines with the help of spain showed a 15/16th century map.

When China(ROC) drew the nine( or eleven) dash line, most surrounding countries were not sovereign "countries", they were still colonies who posed no objection to the claim. Vietnam was called Indo-chine, was a French colony. Philippines was an American colony then occupied by Japan.

Someday China will also want to occupy mars
They want it all. Our Flying Tigers saved them in WW 2, now they want it all. The Chinese people must feel somewhat like the North Korean People Feel.
+JACK CASSELL We helped the Nationalist China in WW2, their exiled now to Taiwan. The Nationalist suffered major casualties during the war. During their weakened state, the rebels (CCP) swooped in and took control of the mainland. So no, we did not help the current regime, they just took advantage of it. We helped Taiwan, and even now we still do.
Taiwan is Chinese territory.
actually Taiwan doesn't dispute it
It is complicated. The Nathinalist taiwan want the entire Mainland China + Taiwan + Mongolia + Arunachar State (however it spells) + part of Kashmir
US+Japan+south korea+ Vietnam+Australia+New Zealand+Philippines+Malaysia+Brunei+singapore+UK vs China. Can china win?
+J'le 75 the answer is, maybe.. They control the pacific region's economy.. They have 2.3 million active military troops.. But I hope they would lose if any war would occur..
+Justin Xie Nah, Japan's military is forced to be weak by post-WW2 peace agreements but other than that these countries all have strong military
+J'le 75 south korea took chinese side.
so its US+Japan+ Vietnam+Australia+New Zealand+Philippines+Malaysia+Brunei+singapore+UK vs China+ both korea
+tong shen today's war. quantity is nothing when comparing with quality. chinese made weapon still far behind western and japanese made.
+tomato totato where on earth s.korea sided china. us military is having permanent base in s.korea. are you dreaming?
What does US wants?
I'm a Chinese born Canadian so this matter doesn't bother me much, however I do think the Chinese government is being greedy and ambitious in "claiming" territory to be their own. I don't know much about the South China Sea but about the Senkaku/Diayuu islands historically it's always been apart of Japanese territory. Theres my 2 cents.
yes true Chinese goverments wants to invade the other small islands like Spratly,Paracel and other small islands and btw tibet isn't part of china because tibet is already independence in ww2 but china invade it
Do not judge if you don't know. I come from Xinjiang. Take a look at the historical map of China, Xinjiang has been a part of China since 1000 years ago. And go to Taiwan and you will know what their official name is, The Republic of China. Shame on your parents' education! Why Canada is Canada after colony of France?
+Chenyu Zhang then why are the Tibetans burning themselves asking for freedom?
QUOTE: YANG YANYI, BRUSSELS, 26. MAY, 19:35
“Real issue is dispute over territorial sovereignty”
“The South China Sea issue has attracted much attention and media coverage.
Some accused China of changing the status quo in the South China Sea by taking unilateral actions that caused tensions in the region.
Some claimed that China’s refusal to recognise and accept the “award” on the South China Sea issued by the Arbitral Tribunal and established at the unilateral request of the Philippines would be “in violation of international law”.
These arguments are biased and unjustified.
As the waters of the South China Sea dispute have been so muddied up by certain intentional forces, it is highly necessary to help those who are truly interested in the maintenance of peace and stability in the South China Sea to get the facts and essence of the matter straight.
China enjoys sovereignty over the South China Sea Island (the Xisha, Nansha, Zhongsha and Dongsha Islands) and the adjacent waters since ancient times.
The Nansha Islands comprise over 230 islands, islets, sandbanks, rocks and shoals that are scattered along a 1,000 kilometer span from the southeast to the northwest of the Sea. This area was discovered and named by China as the Nansha Islands, over which China has continuously exercised sovereignty in a peaceful, effective and uninterrupted manner.
Beginning in the 20th century, western colonial powers, including France and Japan, coveted the Nansha Islands as they colonised Southeast Asia and invaded China. Due to strong resistance from China, most of their territorial ambitions ended in failure.
The Cairo Declaration of November 1943 proclaimed that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific and that all the territories Japan stole from the Chinese shall be restored to China. The 1945 Potsdam Declaration reiterated the proclamation of the Cairo Declaration.
It has been widely recognised by the international community that the Nansha Islands and the adjacent waters belong to China, and no country ever challenged this during a long course of history.
It was only since the 1960s and 1970s, especially after the discovery of abundant oil reserves in the Nansha waters and the coming into being of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), that some countries in the region illegally occupied 42 of China’s islands and reefs as part of the Nansha Islands in violation of the charter and fundamental principles of governing international relations.
Based on this history, it can only be concluded that: 1. China is the victim of the South China Sea issue; 2. the real disputes are centered on sovereignty and rights over the Nansha Islands and the adjacent waters caused by illegal occupation; and 3. the other is the dispute over maritime delimitation caused by overlapping claims of maritime jurisdiction.” “Territorial sovereignty dispute is beyond the scope of UNCLOS”
陈芳 all historical accounts about china's governance of those islands are nil, there are no evidence for it, maps dating 1100 years old doesn't even have spratlys on it, heck the only time china mapped spratlys was in 1950's and it was dictated as a foreign teritorry.
China wants the whole ASIA 😂😂😂
LET GOD'S WILL BE DONE! OUR GOD IS A MIGHTY GOD AND NO ONE CAN OPPOSE HIM! AMEN! wicked deeds Will VANISH! THANK YOU GOD FOR THE PROTECTION TO ALL OF US!AMEN! !!!!!

Hey Charlie Dio…
But Duterte gave that winning to China, despite Philippines people protest against Duterte's plan playing a losing game with China.
please learn to pronounce "diaoyu" correctly before you comment on China
What does China want
Answer: West Philippines Sea
We Filipino doesn't want China to take our West Philippines Sea
Because it's our Sea and part of the Philippines so don't claim it that the West Philippines Sea is South China Sea and because the WPS is full of oil and China wants the oil for themselves to make money
Mommy Jul that’s what the evil one is always after, the resources of others, will steal it for it’s own gain. all wars are started when people & nations dont like to observe God’s rules & laws, and the outcome of victory in wars doesnt always mean it’s the good that prevailed. Evil can also win oftentimes, so we mortals will know the difference between the just & good versus unjust & bad. That’s what the God of the universe is telling us, it is our cursed to live in this world, and those who embrace it will be destroyed together with it.
Not West Philippine Sea!
Is South China Sea!

That earliest record and usage on DiaoYu island was from Ming dynasty around 1403, Japan's earliest record was around 1884 . what China want is simple, they want to regain its prosperity and become the "middle kingdom" again like the ancient time. what people in the west don't understand is that for the past two hundred years since opium war, China was very beyond in technology and faced humiliation with wars and treaties, for example, Hongkong was took way from UK. China do not want anymore of its territory be taken away again. when you want to talk about these disputes, please read some of its history too, otherwise, this kind video is just biased.
Hong Kong and Macau who's not on the video: ☹️
We do not create the land, we are just nature's porter
What did the United States do? Brought insecurity to the world!
The Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan war, the Iraq War……
Both Paracel islands and Spratly islands belong to Viet Nam. China occupied them illegal by using the violence. We will take them back in the future.
Countries especially China must discuss disputes peacefully to prevent war.
It is extremely biased. And somehow, it never addressed the question why US, being a country outside this region, should be involved? Besides, US admitted the claim of China, the ROC, over the South China Sea. Does US regret and change her mind?
Lols still spreading misinfo, U.S didn't admit anything in regards to china's ownership of the FUCKING ENTIRE SEA, UNCLOS and maritime law provides a window as to how international waters, which the SCS is, is supposed to be divided between archipelagic and landlock nations. And china's EZ is only 50 nautical miles while those islands are 830 nautical miles away from china's southernmost tip.
the US has territory in the region and is allied with quite a few powers there (Philippines and Vietnam to name the big 2) .. so yea it's involved
+ the US navy has a mandate to ensure trade routes remain open..
+ Ernest Hemingway.
Enlighten me
Zeng Ruochen Michael well, they are legally binded to it since both u.s and china are signatories to UNCLOS which states that china has no proper claim in those islands.
secondly, its international waters that sees almost 28% of all maritime trade vessels, so its a very big deal for all nations and seeing ghat under the u.s, those waters were kept open for everyone's use, then people trust the U.S more

The list of countries who have border disputes with China equals what number?
China is not satisfied with it's own 200-mile exclusive economic zone (Maritime Coastal and Offshore Soveriegn Right).
The activity it has carried out in this Inner Sea, which has erroneously been titled The South "China" Sea, which is actually geographically and 95% geopolitically The Southeast Asian-Indonesian Sea.
95% of the entire Sea is not even have adjacent Chinese coastal connectivity. Only Hainan gives China an offshore portion of this Inner Sea. This portion is very limited; the other Nations have 95% of the rest of it's Coastline and EEZ.
