- Tensions between the U.S. and China have been steadily escalating on a range of issues, but there’s one place where a clash of superpowers would be most likely to happen: the South China Sea. Even with a new U.S. president, the disagreements that led to this moment won’t be easy to resolve. So how did this body of water become a major flashpoint in U.S.-China relations?

@@PatrickBatefan Well, regarding India, it was conquered by multiple foreign powers which changed India drastically, the Aryans invasion from Persian gave the caste system, Turks, then Mughal, eventually the British, nothing resembling the early Indus civilization left. It was the British who united the whole India subcontinent, not the Indian themselves. China developed its infrastructures on their own before 1980s and continues the constructions to today, and Chinese finally rise again as world power, which scares the hell of USA.
I am not suprised...Every major powerful country does that....
The narrative that just cuz China is stronger, their claims are void, is such broken logic. In fact, Taiwan's claims are the same as mainland China's even to this day. The 9 dash line originated from the ROC when they still controlled the Chinese mainland before the CCP took over after 1949. The USA has military bases all around China. Should and China just let USA surround them and do nothing? :)
The 9 dash line is not a no enter zone. 12NM from the island is no enter zone territory and 200 nm out from each island is the exclusive economic zone.

how about another article "The Militarization of the pacific"? to see how many military bases of the U.S in pacific.
Those were all purchased and nobody had pledges not to militarize the South China Sea. China pledged not to, and still did. That's why it's a big deal.
ASEAN needs to get its act together first as its member nations have overlapping claims among themselves. They are just shelving that and trying to agree a 'unified' stance on something which is not unified. It's like trying to build on sand and it prevents others who have a strong interest in the area - but no claims themselves - like fellow ASEAN member Thailand, Australia and India from being able to back anyone fully.
we ASEAN know how to determine what is to be set aside for the time being . . .
China wants a bilateral agreement with its neighbors in the SCS. China and the Philippines have a joint venture agreement. The Philippines will take 60 percent and China will take 40 percent in any oil and gas found in SCS.
The South China sea was originally named the Champ Sea, which was named after the ancient kingdom in current central Vietnam. Vietnamese already continuously administrated both of 2 these islands since 17th century and no single country except VN claimed those at that time. Both of Paracel and Spratly were belong to Indochina/Annam colony of France, so after getting independence, Vietnam had full right to take these 2 islands back obviously. And South Vietnam did that and exercised legal control over these 2 islands until China came illegally in 1974 and 1988. And I want to make it clear that Vietnam does not claim entire SCS, we only claim our 200 nautical mile EEZ + our these 2 islands which lay outside of our EEZ( but as I said EEZ can't apply for islands). Even a lot of messy problems arising until now after Chinese came and some other countries claimed based on EEZ, hope Vietnam and other countries involving can avoid conflict as much as possible
More detail about San Francisco Conference :
The conference was joined by 51 countries around the world. This is the piece treaty of UN attempt to return all colonies to its initial country after WW2, and as a result, this treaty formed hundred of nowadays countries in the world. In the treaty Japan had to return all colonies back to original countries, which include Paracel and Spratly islands controlled by French. Both of China and Vietnam asserted their claim on Hoàng Sa( Paracel Islands ) and Trường Sa ( Spratly Islands ) but China's claim was rejected by 45 out of 51 countries whereas Tran Van Huu, Prime Minister of Bao Dai’s government of Vietnam stated that “in order to annul the seeds of possible disputes, we claim our sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos”. No objections were raised nor any reservations made against his statement at the conference.
France, in the victory side, also asserted the sovereignty of both of Paracel and Spratly Islands are belong to Annam of Vietnamese because Japan took over them from France.
Hoàng Sa and Trường Sa was belong to South Vietnam from 1956 to 1974 and the entire UN, except China nor Russia, recognized and didn't oppose to them. In 1974 China illegally fought and invaded Hoàng Sa ( Paracel Islands) and fought Trường Sa (Spratly Islands) in 1988, but it could only occupy small part of Spratly Islands.

South "China" Sea
The ASEAN : *Now hold there boy*
With that logic Indian Ocean belongs to India
@Donna Duns But those islands are very close to the mainlands, China is building there’s in the middle of the South China Sea. Right in the middle
What China had done in the SCS is defending its right of passage (to ensure freedom of navigation) for its imports and exports passing through the SCS and Indian Ocean.
With that logic, Persian Gulf belongs to Iran.
@Donna Duns Yes but you do know India doesn't claim the entire stretch of ocean between the mainland and the andaman and nicobar islands right? China is literally claiming the entire sea for itself.
Conflict in this sea is mainly between Vietnam and China. China took vietnamese islands in the 1988 short war. Every year, chinese ships (warship or coast guard ship) shoot vietnamese fishing boats.
@Fenimore Jhno which they failed, so China had to save face by claiming "victory".
Your point being?
@Fenimore Jhno ridiculous, Truong Sa and Hoang Sa belong to Vietnam
@Fenimore Jhno uhhh so big nations can do whatever they want? even China wont like that statement, as that would apply to the US too. I am certain that China doesnt what to do anything with the US.
It's not called "south CCP sea" at all... Why people are endocrine to use this self made term... By using the term it is unfair to all neighboring countries who has rights over it...
A sea with no name.
So this is the East American Sea or the South British Sea. This may be fair, because the United Kingdom still considers Hong Kong as its colonial area.

All part of the plan right?
Well said! All countries are the same, only a matter of who is the most powerful.
It is on the demonize level to discuss that if China will become the dominant power in Asia because it is a Pseudo-proposition.
China has made a continued policy to treat other countries in a civilized manner. Most Chinese are disinterested in the debate about a new shifting of world power or power competition in the traditional sense which applied to the context of game theory.
The ignorance makes people ignored the international law and blind to see the historical evidence of China's sovereignty over the South China Sea according to the 1943 Potsdam Proclamation and Cairo Declaration.
China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Island and adjacent waters, backed by historical and legal evidence. The construction of China's own territory is not against international law. Philippines' arbitration request is not meant to resolve disputes, but to negate China's right. The most important thing for international law is who defines the international law. and about the South China Sea, you cannot find the sovereignty from the map related to the Philippines and its history or other countries.
According to its proponents, China’s claim stood relatively undisputed until the 1930s. From this time onwards, Western colonial forces and an increasingly assertive Imperial Japan recognized and sought to utilize the strategic value of the Nansha Islands (Spratlys) in particular. In 1939, Japan occupied parts of the archipelago in an attempt to control Southeast Asia and prepare for an invasion of Australia. Upon Japan’s defeat in 1945, it was stripped of the area it had occupied in the South China Sea. Although post-war ownership of the islands remains disputed, both Mainland China and Taiwan have adopted the position that rather than creating a “void,” the areas have been restored to Chinese ownership. these declarations emphasize that areas once held by Japan in the South China Sea would no longer be part of that country’s post-war sovereign territory, and that territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China.” Ownership is deemed to have been implicitly accepted by Western powers (notably the United States) in their failure to object to repeated assertions by (initially) Taiwan over South China Sea sovereignty. As part of the Chinese claim, Taiwan has maintained a presence on Taiping Island (the largest island of the Nansha Islands Archipelago) since 1946. To Beijing’s understanding the status of the islands was seemingly acknowledged as Chinese territory through U.S. requests to the Taiwanese authorities for permission to perform aerial surveys in the region between 1957 and 1961., constitutes a territory that cannot be divided on an island-to-island basis. By recasting the case as one fundamentally challenging Chinese sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, China believes the case constitutes an infringement of Chinese territorial integrity. More than just an infringement of territory, “The UNCLOS did not provide rules for the issue of territorial sea baselines for continental countries’ archipelagos; nor did it provide rules for historic rights, although it affirmed their status in international law.”
China believes the court has no jurisdiction to decide on the matter. As such, it rejects the case and will not accept or participate in the arbitration. As discussed in the Chinese government’s Position Paper, two reasons for rejection stand out. First, on August 25, 2006, China deposited, as permitted under Article 298 of UNCLOS, a statement that China will not accept compulsory dispute settlement procedures (including compulsory arbitration) concerning maritime delineation. Second, China rejects the court’s authority;
Upon ratification of the UNCLOS on 7 June 1996, Declaration made after ratification (25 August 2006) and Declaration under article 298:The Government of the People's Republic of China does not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention with respect to all the categories of disputes referred to in paragraph 1 (a) (b) and (c) of Article 298 of the Convention. The United States is not the signatory on The UNCLOS so that they should not make any comment on the issues unless they put the signature on the UNCLOS.

United States cannot claim Russia and China to be in violation of a treaty that it is not a party to. When UNCLOS was initially signed in 1982, the Reagan administration refused to accede based on disagreements regarding deep seabed mining. Despite revisions to the treaty in 1994, the Senate refused to hold hearings on the matter.

@@markkelly5900 The Chinese need the west to fire the first shot and galvanize the Chinese people. Their country is coming unglued thanks to food shortages, corruption and factories leaving their people unemployed. China needs a war to make sure the people are angry at something other than the Chinese Communist Party. If we wait them out, the Chinese people themselves will likely revolt against the communists. Then we gain allies within China. If we fire the first shot, however, or at least the Chinese people believe we fire the first shot, they may turn on us. This is why the tension is high right now.
China has to move first, the islands in dispute are not theirs and are therefore on the defensive end of the conflict. Taiwan and Guam are not going to attack China. China wants the islands and they know that they'll have to fight the US and our allies in order to take them. As you've said time doesn't appear to be on their side as they seem to be losing grip on things within its own borders. The Soviets fell without a war, maybe the CCP will too.
@@mikehunt69981 I agree. The only way we could screw this up is if we shoot first. That would likely galvanize the Chinese people behind the CCP. If, however, the Chinese attack first, that might do the opposite, especially as supply lines are cut off, leaving the Chinese people without enough food or possibly even power.

The only map with a nine dash line is made in CCP
You have to research in the library before speeching on CCP's claim on the South China Sea. The dash line was initially posted by Kuomintang of ROC after the WW2, which was called 11 dash line at that time. All the countries around South China Sea did not object this claim and this China's territory was printed in maps of all the counties, including USA, Canada, Vietnam. When was 11 dash line was replaced by 9 dash line? Vietnam war. When US was involved in Vietnam war again the Vietnam communist party in the north, CCP decided to help Vietnam and borrowed an island to Vietnam for establishing the radar base at the northwest of South China Sea. So, two dashes were deleted in this area. Actually, Vietnam did not give that island back to China after the war. So, you have ask Taiwan for the reason why there is a line in South Chian Sea. Another important issue I need to mention is the islands in South China Sea were discovered before Christ by the Chinese. Ancient Chinese fishermen were used for rest and supply, which recorded even in history 2000 years ago. At that time, only a few primitive tribes existed on the land around South China Sea. I really do not know can anybody claim others' land because you are close to mine. If in that case, China should claim lands from Vietnam, Philippine, Malasia, because your land is too close to mine.
@@31873015 Yeah it was ROC since they also had the same claim as PRC. So two China have the same claim.
@@31873015 China as of 2018 has not filed a formal and specifically defined claim to the area with in the dashes. So no one could possibly object to this.

This is the best video I have seen on this topic...very clear and informative. Well done!
Same.
Ancient Chinese maps I have seen posted on line call the South China Sea the "Sea of Cham", which is a kingdom that was located in the middle of current day Vietnam country. Those people had port settlements in the Philippines, Java, many Islands in this very area and even the Island of today's PRC Sanya even in the time period of the military rule of the original Vietnam (today's northern 1/3 of Vietnam) from 200BC to 1000AD. The Cham people were expert mariners and back then you need to ship your freight with a ship captain who knew the dangerous waters to avoid ship and cargo loss. China claims to be a big brother, but everything they do is only for their gain and explotation. From this I see Vietnam to have easily claim to the Islands they assert to. The best compromise is for China to stop the militarization of these artificial man made islands.
Well, Champa is not Viet. In fact Viet people crushed Champa people, Champa language has gone into extinction.
@@TSRHelios one of my wife's best friend's husband is of Champa heritage. He still speaks Champa and I think teaches his children. The Champa people have been intermixed mostly now with the Vietnamese people. Large scale persecution against the Champa people in last 100 years or so was extreme so this has reduced the pure Champa people population to very few. The original point of this discussion is that today's Sea of China is really not theirs as they claim, but the islands were owned at various times by the generally closest countries to those Islands.
@@hcmcspitz6486 if you want to talk about history, both Vietnam and China has reasonable records, but China's case seems to be slightly stronger. If we speak about continental shelf and EEZ, they are closer to Malaysia and Philippines. To be fair, Vietnam and other claimants also building on the islands or doing land reclamation, although they are unable to do it at the pace of China. E.g. Vietnam has started military installation in 1980s. The rest of the claimants also doing the same thing at a point in the time. So basically everybody are doing it, there is no moral high ground the way I see it when accusing China is militarizing the islands.
@@hcmcspitz6486 the main thing why China is the focus in this vid is because it is stronger than other claimants and able to reclaim and militarize the islands quicker than the rest, and most importantly, Pivot to Asia.

What about to China South Sea ?
It's Vietnam East Sea. 🇻🇳
Spartly archipelago and Paracel archipelago are belonged to Vietnam. 🇻🇳
The South China sea was originally named the Champ Sea, which was named after the ancient kingdom in current central Vietnam. Vietnamese already continuously administrated both of 2 these islands since 17th century and no single country except VN claimed those at that time. Both of Paracel and Spratly were belong to Indochina/Annam colony of France, so after getting independence, Vietnam had full right to take these 2 islands back obviously. And South Vietnam did that and exercised legal control over these 2 islands until China came illegally in 1974 and 1988. And I want to make it clear that Vietnam does not claim entire SCS, we only claim our 200 nautical mile EEZ + our these 2 islands which lay outside of our EEZ( but as I said EEZ can't apply for islands). Even a lot of messy problems arising until now after Chinese came and some other countries claimed based on EEZ, hope Vietnam and other countries involving can avoid conflict as much as possible
More detail about San Francisco Conference :
The conference was joined by 51 countries around the world. This is the piece treaty of UN attempt to return all colonies to its initial country after WW2, and as a result, this treaty formed hundred of nowadays countries in the world. In the treaty Japan had to return all colonies back to original countries, which include Paracel and Spratly islands controlled by French. Both of China and Vietnam asserted their claim on Hoàng Sa( Paracel Islands ) and Trường Sa ( Spratly Islands ) but China's claim was rejected by 45 out of 51 countries whereas Tran Van Huu, Prime Minister of Bao Dai’s government of Vietnam stated that “in order to annul the seeds of possible disputes, we claim our sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos”. No objections were raised nor any reservations made against his statement at the conference.
France, in the victory side, also asserted the sovereignty of both of Paracel and Spratly Islands are belong to Annam of Vietnamese because Japan took over them from France.
Hoàng Sa and Trường Sa was belong to South Vietnam from 1956 to 1974 and the entire UN, except China nor Russia, recognized and didn't oppose to them. In 1974 China illegally fought and invaded Hoàng Sa ( Paracel Islands) and fought Trường Sa (Spratly Islands) in 1988, but it could only occupy small part of Spratly Islands.
