  • China and its neighbours all want a piece of the South China Sea.
    Rights to fish, territory, oil and gas.
    This fight has it all, including the potential for war.
    So why is ASEAN struggling to manage the problem? And why won’t China share?

      The Chinese have power to claim the moral high ground. They never fire the first bullet. Just crash their boat, and detain these fisher-man from water.
      And its response/avenge to the killed Chinese fisher-man.
      Yeah you see there is history. these incident is from early incident escalation.
      To block the fisher-man from main-land China is a waste of money. to save the face to claim/control the water under her power and safeguard trading ships is the purpose.

      No one's going to war. Even China isn't thinking about that (for now). Also, it's the nuclear age! Even if other Asean countries join together, we don't have enough technology to fight a giant like China who has nukes in their arsenal. The solution I'm seeing is putting trade sanctions on China so they won't have resources to fuel their forces.

      I agree fully with Deng Xiaoping. China is doing exactly the same thing that the US, Israel and European allies have been doing for so many years now. Invading and illegally colonizing other nations land. Stealing precious resources based on false flags like WMD and 911 . Intimidation through economic sanctions and unjustified military actions. Bullying of smaller nations ......So what is wrong? China just follow the pace! at least China is not manufacturing false flags to attack any other country. China NEVER invaded any country like the US. WTF US is doing in Lybia, Syria, Iraq, Afganistan ...??????? Is the US still looking for Weapons Of Mass Destruction or Ussamah Bin Laden?????

    The alarming militarization rate of China and their growing aggressive stance in the South China Sea and neighboring ASEAN countries despite their rhetoric of non-aggression is appaling.
    US have hastily withdrawn troops in Afganistan, sent 2 nuclear submarines to SCS for the first time and the formation of QUAD and strengthening ties with ASEAN.
    Do you think US will let China easily takeover its supremacy? I dont think so.

      How is China being aggressive if their security depends on able to access beyond the first island chain. If you country's survival and long term prosperity depend on securing this thing, you will be extremely stupid not to try to fight for it. But fighting for it does not have to be violent and while China lay stakes to some islands in SCS, the most we have seen is unfortunate skirmishes being blown out of proportion (deliberately mostly by western media). Seem like we like to talk about everyone's security concerns and not about China's. If you only look at your own needs and ignore everyone else, you are always going to sleepwalk into a war like what America does every time.
      If you want peace, learn to look at things from each other's perspectives and negotiate in good faith. Or else, you are just guaranteeing you are going to war. This kind of one-sided and arrogant perspective is the bread and butter of western countries, and should not be adopted by SE Asia.

Who's to say that the depleting resources in the world (e.g., due to overconsumerism and global development) won't lead to even more conflict in the future?

    technically if you plot the EEZ 200 nautical miles of every country's coastline on the map, some boundaries really overlaps. In the case of China and Vietnam they are entitled to have another 200 miles (400 in total) because of their continental shelf and the overlapping increases. Now if you build an island in the middle of the sea, your EEZ will again be extended. There are really gray areas in that UNCLOS and this really translate to disputes.

    I'd just like to point out that most of the smaller Asian countries who are competing with China for the South China Sea have American naval bases. No world power would want USA warships in their backyard. Rather than the issue being that China just wants to hog resources and bully other people, there is also another perspective that China wants to take countermeasures against USA basically having naval bases all over Asia. How would USA feel if China had several hundred naval bases in the Caribbean islands? China should really do a better job being friends with its neighbors but when there are potential threats outside your yard, you would at least want to put a safety boundary/zone for yourself in case they decided to storm you.

    Those who have studied sea power theory and understand modern finance all know that the United States is for hegemony, not for justice. When you talk about Taiwan, it seems that no country has diplomatic relations with Taiwan. At least your report should be in line with the diplomatic reality of your country.

    In this video it should be noted that the countries in the ASEAN group that didn´t want to irritate Chine are not the ones with any interest in the South China Sea but the ones who are downriver of China along the river Mekong, namely Thailand, Laos & Cambodia. The exception being Vietnam who is a major player in the S.C.S. & also part of the Mekong group.

    The US have considered the one China policy before but when China started claiming the South China Sea (SCS), every nation was threatened. So the US is now backing out of the one China policy. I believe the occupation of the SCS by China ignited the conflict.

    • @soshelp4085
      @soshelp4085 Před měsícem

      In 1947, the government of the Republic of China drew a nine-dash line and drew up a map of the locations of the islands in the South China Sea. It set our southernmost territory at 4 degrees north latitude and included the Zengmu Shoal within the territorial line. At that time, this U-shaped line or nine-dash line was to indicate the scope of our jurisdiction to the international community and list a territorial line. I think the nine-dash line should be an island ownership line. China should finalize the legal status of the nine-dash line as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless consequences. Because Vietnam has announced its law of the sea, this is very detrimental to us, because the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea only stipulates a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, but it does not specify how the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone should be drawn. This requires relevant countries to formulate their own basic maritime laws to solve the problem.
