- China’s expansive and contested claims in the South China Sea are rattling its neighbors like the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei.
We traveled to the Philippines to see how China’s occupation of certain areas is pushing some Southeast Asian governments closer to the U.S.

What approach do you think China’s South China Sea neighbors should take to address Beijing’s maritime claims?
It is lost. The U.S aren’t going to help. The question is how much can they save. The best course of action is to ally with China for now and give them whatever they want in exchange for your freedom in the sea. Suck but there is really nothing else they can do at least in the next 10 years. Long term though they can get stronger as individual nations and make an ally among themselves to rival China.
How about onboarding a Chinese aircraft carrier in the South China Sea next time, Shelby Holliday? Oh I’m sorry but you don’t even speak Chinese. You are simply incapable to report both sides of the issue.
Lol, enjoy the increased US military presence in the South China sea, Winnie the Pooh. You brought this upon yourself. 🤣

Long before... it is us Filipinos (Austronesian decent) who were the real people of the sea surrounding Philippines (from the time of Sulu Sultanate to Maharlikan Kingdom)... that's why we have people who were very much dark skin toned due to long exposure to sun light at sea... to a point where they were able to evolve and develop a mutated lungs that has much larger air capacity than the usual land dwellers... they were able to walk and fish on the seafloor using spear without any aid of floatation and breathing devices... The big word evidence here is "They EVOLVED" ... meaning... this has been going on for a long long time... (featured on National Geographic Channel)
While you white skin toned China people ...on that ancient time period.... wouldn't wanna go down the Mountain valleys because you pretty much enjoy the comfort of cold weather on the upper High Lands of China... that's why your skin is poreless and white ... that is caused by your body's adaptation to cold weather similar to other people who experiences winter in their homelands.
So.... DON'T GIVE US THE NARRATIVES THAT... CHINA & NOT THE PHILIPPINES... ARE THE LONG STANDING SEA PEOPLE WHO WAS BEEN FISHING AND NAVIGATING THOSE SEA WATER ...AND THE TRUE OWNER OF THAT PORTION OF THE SEA... BECAUSE THAT NARRATIVES IS CLEARLY FAKE, FALSE, & DELIBERATE MISINFORMATION FROM CHINESE BOT.
IT IS US FILIPINOS FROM THE 🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES...WHO WERE THE AUSTRONESIAN PEOPLE... THE ONES LIVING BY THOSE SEA...
There is no such thing as Maharlikan Sultanate , it doesn't exist.

True, it is the same reason why china's artificial islands are sinking. Our fishermen could not fish in their boats in the sea so they went to swim and fish under the sea. The groupers loves to hide in the artifical island foundations. (JOKE)

Thanks for telling the true story bout the philippines situation
We dont have anyone to blame but ourselves for allowing China to be so aggressive and abusive to its neighbors because we allowed it to happen esp our leaders like Duterte who vocally supports China and even ignoring the ruling of the international court favoring his own country.
Not this time
Dapat patawan na Ang china for junctions by the US.
We have no one to blame except ourselves including all nations who have US bases. USA is a tormentor of China and we allowed her enemy to surround her with US military bases numbering more than 300, which were steadily increased right after WW2, with neighbors like these who need enemies.
Fan here in the Philippines 🌴
Just to emphasize further. China’s claim like the 9 dash line in the South China Sea has no basis under present International Law specifically the EEZ under the 1982 UNCLOS law which China itself was a signatory to it. Moreover, as the video stated this territorial dispute had already been resolved in favor of the Philippines by the United Nations Arbitral Ruling but China refused to recognize it because according to China it claims historical rights to the disputed territory.
If we follow this ancient historical rights argument of China can China then claim parts of Korea? Or Vietnam? This territories were occupied by China during the Han Dynasty in ancient history. Or can China even claim Siberia and the Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan.…etc. since this too were territories occupied by the Chinese empire in past history.
If this historical rights argument by China will be given credence then Mongolia has a legitimate historical claim on China too since Mongolia ruled China in history under Kublai Khan.This is why ancient historical claims are absurd and must remain as that….ancient. But the truth of the matter is obviously the plain and simple bullying by a superpower to a smaller country due to the bully’s greed to expand its territory.
Psychology experts are truly correct in saying that bullying is the result of the bully’s insecurities. And China’s historical claim to this territories are not only ridiculous but also insecur
Chinas choosen to bully is Philippines.
Tyrants like these intend to use history in their advantage.
So yeah, they acknowledge their own bullshit claim but will deny the rest.
Their still insisting historical claim is when Chinese pirates sailed and landed in the Palawan Islands philippines?
The place called Ayungin Shoal, a submerged reef located 194 kilometers (105 nautical miles) off Palawan islands that is within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.
Still, China is asserting its claim over the reef despite it being 1,285 kilometers (694 nautical miles) from Hainan, its southernmost province. it is china itself that lights the fire for WW3, they don't want war but their actions are inciting war It will become a reality if the Chinese fire the first shot.
You don't know China is a 5000 years civilization?
You are the one promote war
Outstanding reporting 👏
The reporting is not balanced. The reporter did not reveal that the International Court that adjudicated over the SCS was paid by the US and that the UN said the Court did not have jurisdiction over the matter. The reporter also did not reveal that International Laws backed China's claims and that other ASEAN countries also backed China's claims.
India should also rewrite its history and claim the entire Indian Ocean and not allow Chinese vessels into the Indian Ocean.
You mentioned re-write history however you can't and China wasn't ever thinking re-writing
China can sail all international waters but they dont have the right to claim other nation territorial waters.thats very simple.
china wants the bigger picture, control, expansion and disrupting the traditional west businesses.
Also, what I read about the ownership of natural resources deep underneath the sea bed can go to China alone if the rest of the ASEAN agreed the 9 dash line, it means all resources on that region all belong only to China. See why even Indonesia and Taiwan want a piece of it bcos they want the share too.
Lol ..they reach Argentina I'm pretty sure Indian Ocean is closer.
More than possible IF India wants to.
It's funny how the Chinese "Coast guard" never actually boards any ships. They know full well they are in the wrong, and it would turn into a major international incident real fast if they did.
Philippines must take back all these man Mande islands within our EEZ
Something drastic should be done against this bullying!!!

Everyone resents US naval power until they realize it has been protecting their trade for decades. It's like air. One forgets it's there until someone takes it away. Then on realizes its value.
Despite China's territorial issues with ASEAN countries, China continues to invest and trade with ASEAN countries, and for some China is their biggest trade and development partner.
It was actually China who is gaining a lot in trading with ASEAN!
China is exporting a lot compared to what it imports from these countries!
So why would China stop doing business with these countries??
right, the import is more than export and the export are selective while the import can be anything. I dont trust chinas words.
Yeah china invest and give the jobs to their fellow Chinese and on top of that exorbitant interest rates of china, so who really benefit ?

Well, look into another depth.if not China claim or Claim by US Power Presence in this Sea. What is the USE?!
We cannot pretend anymore, China is a threat and the next war will be in the Pacific rim.
Is it not expansionism for Americans to come to Asia? What an imperialist rhetoric
The threat is the US . No US there China would not even start to claim in my view.
Vietnam and ASEAN countries should develop abundantly contagious and deadly biochemical weapons, suicide UAVs and long-range cruise missiles that can carry both biological and conventional weapons to go deeply inside China territory.. At that time, even there is no US or Russian intervention, China would not dare to attack Vietnam or some Asean country.. The biochemical weapons could easily destroy the entire population of China which is around 1.4 billion people . .Bio-chemical weapons are easy to develop in large numbers in a very short time and it's not expensive to develop in a large quantities. It is an effective deterrent against China's superior military power and aggression. At that time, we can tell directly to China that if China dare to attack Vietnam or any Asean country, any of these countries could easily wipe out the whole China population..
You must be a keling.
China threat no one

Many people used to see the People's Republic of China (PRC) through the traditional Chinese culture, and ignored its communist root. However, the Communist China is more communist than Chinese. It is aggressive and inherently expansionist.

Oil extraction should immediately commence in the West Phil Sea with the support of the US military and allies. As explored in the past there are possible Oil reservoirs in many areas within Philippine EEZ places that are possible to install Oil Platforms and can be constructed at a parallel time. Contracts to construct Oil Rigs may be awarded to US, AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN as they are showing serious commitment to help and support to secure the EEZ of the Philippines, their navy ships along with our navy and coast guards should be stationed around to provide protection during the process, operation of oil extraction were successfully achieved. Greedy Chinese will never be able to approach those areas since they have great fear with the US and Allies.

The Champa Sea, now called as South China Sea is a misnomer.
It should be renamed (if not Champa) as Southeast Asia Sea where Southeast Asian (Austronesia aborigines) nations generally are co-existing in peace and harmony.
They have similar bloodlines known as the Austronesian people.
Such renaming will diminish the greedy Tsekwa's fantasy.
China's claim to most of the islets in that part of the world is not recognized by the south east asian countries.
Taiwan claims the same islands and territory.
Vietnam claims seas belonging to the Philippines.
Neither does South East Asian countries recognize each others claims.

It is preposterous for China to claim the whole of the South China sea just because of its namesake, its akin to India claiming the whole of the Indian sea because its named after India, if this be their true thinking then we should propose the renaming of the South China sea to ASEAN Sea, and to emphasize that the South China is only that part of the ASEAN Sea that is covered by China's own EEZ.
Correct: Southeast Asia Sea. Nearer to Malphilindo geography.

The Philippines is not intruding or not even made a violation in their actions, the shoal is located inside the Philippine EEZ. The Chinese is the one violating the international law of the sea and the claim of China has no concrete basis, the Chinese signed in UNCLOS agreement in 1994 which embodies all the nations to have their own share in the said ocean. The Chinese also said that their reason is the inherent, it is also has no basis, this ocean has been used by all the nations since the very beginning through exchanging their goods known as the barter trade. All nations near the spratley islands has the rights to claim because of their traditional fishing since the very beginning. Their the one who first swim and fish in the early morning before other far countries like China to do their fishing. So any reason of China to claim their rights has no basis. It is only a work of covetousness and greed who claims that the entire ocean is his.

It is worth noting that since the end of WW2 (for 78 years) the US has been keeping a close eye on China via numerous military bases from North Japan down to the centre of Australia; during this time the Chinese productive force and economy has grown like topsy. No wonder the CPC is developing it's defence forces at an unprecedented pace, it has a lot to defend and good reason for doing so; China's rapid progress, it's majority share of the global market and increasing global influence is admired, envied and feared to varying degrees by many so called advanced nation states. South China Sea issues are best dealt with by China and its neighbouring states, the US should just keep it posturing distance.

China could have just negotiated fairly and justly, heck it could have taken a leadership position and brought everyone to the negotiating table and helped sort out all the competing claims so that everyone can benefit from the resources in the South China Sea, like a good big brother. Instead it acted like a thief and it’s now complaining that the little brothers bought in backup.
