- Many predict the South China Sea could soon become the scene of a showdown between two super powers, with one third of global trade passing through it.
Month after month, an increasingly violent battle for dominance is being fought in its contested waters. But why is the sea so disputed?
Sky's Data and Forensics correspondent Tom Cheshire explains.

Chinas claim has no basis
中国有充足的证明说明南海是自己的,它不是公海,第一次了解到南海不是中国的说法,我可以明确的告诉你,南海受到中国的完全绝对控制，没有中国政府允许是不可以进入的，美国反对吗？它敢挑动南海主权的问题玛😂
中国在南海有人工岛，还有守礁的士兵，每天都有海军警卫队巡航，有开采油汽的设施，有中国渔民，你们虽然不承认，但全球200多个国家的政府都是承认的，联合国也是承认的
@@taiiaitaiiai Nope. China has nothing in South East Sea
@@taiiaitaiiai Illegal artificial ISLANDS LOL
@@taiiaitaiiailisanin niyo ang lugar na iyon,dahil hindi niyo iyon pagaari!?.?
Just look at the map As simple as that. .as we can see the greed of China claims
Look at the map of Falklands Vs UK. Guam Vs USA.
China is the only one Creating so much trouble in ASEAN because they draw a fake 11 dash line that is insane.
Phi should put new dash line. Copy china
1) When the dashed lines published in 1947, did the Philippines reject?
2) When did the Philippines start to claim properties in the South China Sea?
Boycott boycott china product
@@tibetanchineseofchinaPhilippines is the aggressor in the South China Sea.
2:20 In 1971 following a storm on the Thitu island the island was seized by the Philippines from the Republic of China (Taiwan). it is administered by the Philippines a part of Kalayaan municipality of Palawan Province.--from Wikipedia.
@@tibetanchineseofchina present to International Court about your narrative
International law is not effective in this matter. What a shame.
We are talking about the UNCLOS its the Law of the Sea and it favors the Philippines whats the use of United Nations if they can't enforce their common laws and agreements.
Pls dont mentioned south china sea it is west Philippines sea
Hahahah
yeah only within Philppine exclusive economic zone which is 200 nautical miles as per UNCLOS ruling but China claims whole scs as their own.
Nobody recognise West pineapple sea 😂😂😂
Always fascinating seeing your graphics and maps? What kind of sign off is that? 😂😂😂
How about letting the world know which country controlled the islands in south China Sea from after the 2nd world war?
no country believe that 9 trash line
查阅中国地图😂😂😂
Chinese are delulu @@taiiaitaiiai
@@taiiaitaiiaiYes, only Chinese
South east asia not china
Cry more😂
@@BruceJ999An independent tribunal said the CCP's claims are BS.
@@ShadowPhoenixMaximus The fact is, according to the Treaty of Paris in 1898, the Treaty of Washington in 1900 and the Convention Between the United States and Great Britain of 1930 which defined the territory of the Philippines, the western boundary of the Philippines is delimited by 118 degrees east longitude. The Huangyan Island (Scarborough) and Nansha Islands (Spratly) are completely to the west of 118 degrees east longitude. They are not the Philippines' territory.
@@tibetanchineseofchinaFact?! Or your propaganda?!
UNCLOS has already shoot down your ideas and China is now basically just muscling its way to other countries' EEZ.
@@tibetanchineseofchina Delusional CCP. Hahaha.
As per UNCLOS Philippines owned that part of sea.
Who created UNCLOS, Who rules and governs it. Why they are tipped lip over the issues. Why UN is not intervening or stating its position on the incident. We need proper implementation of International Law. But so sad, I think Law governed and for those Powerful and Rich nation only..
Water canon cause damaged and a direct assault, Filipinos should not be bullied.
Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo.🇵🇭❤
There is no need to repeat UNCLOS again and again, sovereignty precedes UNCLOS, and that's why Australia, Canada, China, France, Italy, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Russia, United Kingdom and many other countries do not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention.
@@tibetanchineseofchinaThat's Chinese/your propaganda!
The G7 already recognized UNCLOS/international law on South China Sea and China is just muscling it's way to the EEZ of its small neighbors!
@@tibetanchineseofchina The fact that China signed and ratified UNCLOS but refuses to follow its provisions means China doesn't abide by its own word. China should just withdraw from UNCLOS if it is unable to follow it. At least countries like the US have the integrity not to sign UNCLOS, and then ignore the provisions that don't favor its interest while telling other countries to follow international law.
@@tibetanchineseofchina that doesn't really matter because China is a signatory of UNCLOS. However they only follow it when its convenient. they use it against Vietnam to justify the stolen islands paracel even though EEZ of Vietnam also covers the paracel islands. However in the philippines case they refuse to follow it. they even refuse to accept philippine's authority over the benham rise which is obviously Philippines and UN recognized it in 2012. Philippines banned oil exploration in that region to protect the marine life however China refuse to accept that even its too far from China already.
@@SeaKrait571 UNCLOS allows member to opt out this Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention. READ:
Canada, China, France, Italy, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Russia, United Kingdom and many other countries do not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention.
Mischief Reef in within Philippines EEZ. China’s only artificial military reef that is within or inside an ASEAN country ( Philippines) EEZ. Graphics is incomplete and more research is needed about Mischief reef.
Even the world don't call it's east Philippine sea,only Philippine people call
Yeah bcoz of pnoy.
Lol its not South China sea the cauld sea but not own by china lol
@@ronalddiola so why those countries admit it's belong China like Malaysia,Vietnam also admit in last year,only small country Philippine didnt
@@Liuzhengchengbecause they are allies with china??
Binubully lng nla Ang pilipinas 😢
Wonder why Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Indonesia are not being bullied.
Ok lang wala naman magawa ang pinas bahag buntot❤❤❤❤
@@LibochMalaysia is pro China, it just let China do whatever they want, the others don't have EEZ disputes with China.
$$$$ same train connected. Phi - no
How come it was not discussed how many and where are Chinese Coast Guards and their militia boats!?
It is irrelevant. Boats are nothing they come and go. There are 40p Filipinos who live in Spratly Islands in South China Sea for decades
Because US comes aroumd uninvited as usual around the world?
South East Asia Sea { SEA Sea ) not South China Sea
West Philippine Sea
South China Sea
For everyone's knowledge. Even without the UNCLOS of useless UN. The disputed territories are included in the Treaty of Washington. The selling of the Philippines from Spain to United States.
Pls change the name south china sea because china think its theirs because of its name😂
It's disputed by countries of the South East Asia region and last time I looked on a map, the USA, UK and rest of Europe are not countries of the region. At no time has international shipping been threatened by such a dispute as it is.
The last time I checked, several trillion dollars worth of global trade, about a third, goes though the South China Sea, meaning there are very obvious economic security interests by those who use those sea lanes, which includes European countries and North American countries, for continued open access to those waters, which is precisely what is threatened by Chinese militarism. The idea that a third of the world's maritime trade will occur on the good will of a particular government, especially one that routinely weaponises trade even if it feels just upset at any criticism, is unprecedent and will be seen as unacceptable economic risk by many governments.
Last time I checked, everybody said Russia and Ukraine War will not affect everyone. Now everyone has an inflation problem
Because China would like to control the Western Pacific starting with South China Sea and Taiwan by downplaying the EEZ of its small neighbors and muscling its way!
imagine unironically thinking that the CCP won't weaponize the SCS area if the west just backs off. Goddamned wumaos I swear.
philippines has the right to defend itself.
The fact is, according to the Treaty of Paris in 1898, the Treaty of Washington in 1900 and the Convention Between the United States and Great Britain of 1930 which defined the territory of the Philippines, the western boundary of the Philippines is delimited by 118 degrees east longitude. The Huangyan Island (Scarborough) and Nansha Islands (Spratly) are completely to the west of 118 degrees east longitude. They are not the Philippines' territory.
@@tibetanchineseofchinaThat's your propaganda!
China/your kind didn't even believe that that logic or reason has legality to base on and just pushing that propaganda to others!
@@tibetanchineseofchinaChinese troll present that to UNCLOS which China signatory itself
If china claim Australia and new Zealand then it will become 900 dashline😂
Free South Asian Sea from the Chinese ❤
WEST PHILIPPINE SEA IS IN DISPUTE NOT THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, VLOGGER
Why it's so hard to say West Philippines Sea? Support PH 🙋🙋🙋
SOUTH CHINA SEA po ang tawag sa kabuuan pero not necessarily means sa china yung area.
West Philippine Sea is the only local name for the portion of Philippine EEZ inside South China Sea. Philippines don't claim the whole South China Sea, only the part that was under its own EEZ. Anything outside of that, Philippines don't care and has no jurisdiction.
So yes, it is correct to call it South China Sea since that is the international name of it which is the whole sea in that region.
Cuz it's not. South China Sea
us media and politicians: they will attack us, they are evil blah blah blah😂😂😂😂
Ma anong ulam. Ahh statement
Mao Tse Tung did not have a navy in the day
There were no problem before until U.S. decides to pivot to Asia with their military might.
filipino and chinese are friend not war.
Stop calling south china sea its west phil sea
correction.....WEST PHILIPPINE SEA (WPS)
West philippine sea is the 200 eez of the philippine itself. There is no dispute, but the problem is china's greed. Fight for the west philippine sea.
Dapat tawagin iyong SEA sea o south east asian sea!...
Parang wala ding pinagkaiba sa 9 dash line Yan, bagong sulpot na claim, mas mabuti yung territory nlng natin panindigan natin kesa pabago bago tayo gaya ng china na from 9, 10,11

Ohh because china cars are selling every Philippines island 🏝️🏝️🏝️
*WEST PHILIPPINE SEA* For the love of God please stop calling it South China Sea!
The government needs to take decisive action rather than merely reacting to these provocations. It's time to stop playing the clown and start steering the ship with confidence, perhaps even with the assistance of the Philippine or US Navy.
the presence of Chinese communist and pla in our national souveirenty provoked the setuation
在美国搞亚太战略前没人说这不是中国南海，知道美国开始。
the bully squatter Chinese.
因为美国需要？和平稳定的南中国海有利于周边所有国家，但是不符合美国利益吧
thisbis the same china that is loved by palestinians.
We called it west philippine sea🦾🦾🦾
West Philippine Sea is a made up name by Aquino III to get the world to side with PH but no country fell for it because international law sides with China on the SCS claims.
80% of china’s crude oil supply passes through this waters. They are securing this waters and will be vital in the event of war.
Surrounding countries will be attacked by china whether neutral or not.
Beijing priority is always Taiwan but they need a secured supply route for crude oil.
フィリピン可哀想🥺
台灣西部はいつも日本やフィリピンなどのちいさい国をいじめる🥺🥺
West philippines sea is not a china sea😤
South China Sea
A war with China is also a war with whole of Southeast Asia. Most of Southeast Asian modern post-war economies from Bangkok to Jakarta and Manila were built by industrialists of Chinese descent with Singapore, a majority ethnic Chinese city-state as financial hub. This will affect sizeable part of world population.
A war with China would definitely effect the whole region, but to say that other countries would join on China's side due to infrastructure ties, or even indebtment, is a huge stretch to put it lightly. Especially considering the strict neutrality of nations like Singapore and Indonesia. As well as already existing defensive ties between the United States and many of these countries. China is hemmed in by their rivals, and lashing out isn't helping them make new friends.
China grabs economic influence whenever and wherever it can, but has little to no real military allies. Even their so called "friends without limits" like Russia, and their neighbor in North Korea have knives at their backs, and we've even seen these limits in the Ukranian conflict. Convenient friends against the world order, but not much help for coordinating in a global conflict. Unlike the United States and their Pacific allies as well as NATO
SEA wouldn't care because they would say non interference in internal affairs. despite what ccp had done, wha has SEA done?
Maybe Chinese are not as well like in Southeast Asia as they themselves believe. The video showing a Chinese ship chasing down, ramming and sinking Vietnamese fishing boat in the South China Sea is still on CZcams.
Well the SEA is a shithole until the Chinese arrive.
@@tvgerbil1984
Not only Chinese so let's not be selective.
And there are videos and reports of Malaysian, Australian and Indonesian coastguard ships ramming and sinking boats from Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia among others.

PHLIPPINES SEA NOT CHINA SEA
Deal with it 😅
Even on school and text books its called south china sea but it doesnt mean it belongs to china. Just deal with it
Say that to the UN and don't try to make a new map. Can say that in your dream though
If the South china Sea is owned by China does it mean Indian ocean also owned by india?😂
Its call South China Sea since that's the international name of the whole sea. The West Philippine Sea is the local name for the area that's part of Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines, which is inside South China Sea, but it is not the whole sea but just small part of it.
Dont call south china sea it west Philippines sea
There is no philippines. Even now, your country name is a colonialist name.
@@IA100KPDTthere is no china also, china is only a former slave country of Japan and Mongolia.
China militarized the South China Sea by building artificial islands on contested territories and fortifying the islands with air defense systems and some other weapons. That guy who commented that the U.S. is militarizing the South China Sea is totally wrong. He needs more research before making such statements!!!
The original map has called WEST PHILIPPINES SEA and not South China Sea. Again please speak WEST PHILIPPINES SEA. Thanks and God Bless!🙏
I hope ASEAN could defeat china dominance.
Crazy pooh! The dictator and the crazy citizen 😂😂😂
ShitU island 😂😂😂😂
What has it got to do with us. Its like chins turning uo to thr channel and saying doesnit belong to usbir france 😏
Not really. It would be like the UK saying EVERYTHING in the Channel belomgs to it. Then they send a maritime militia to harass french fishermen, followed by a coastguard to protect the militia
Its not a dispute.... THE INTERNATIONAL LAW ALREADY GAVE THE DECISIONS THAT PHILIPPINES HAS THE SOVEREIGN RIGHT ON IT...JUST IS YHE SQUATTERS ON THAT AREA..TRYING TO SQUAT AND ASK AS AN OWNER😂😂
A law can only affect the issue after its legislation. The Chinese emperors claimed the South CHINA Sea thousands years before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in 1970s.
