- 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 Philippines fought for its rights and won but the UN has to assert that not the Philippines alone.
Its the UN that is doing nothing.
Agree
You are right because un is with China.
America killed millions of fillipinos and inslaved millions during the spanish American war. America has blood on its hands.
The UN is not but the EU is
That's why PH leave UN, UN doing nothing afraid to china or being silence because of money
As Indonesian, ASEAN need to be strong!
We can't win in technology but we can win in tactics

Recently they actually showed hostility to Filipino fishermen who were STILL in the Philippine Economic Zone, just trying to make a living, showing up in their vessels with missiles and following the fishermen.
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.

How?! The country is heading to a state of civil war.
Thank you! We also support the Myanmar people to get back their country's democracy. Much love from the PH!
India ..is with you...we should all unite against china .
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.

Man, I miss the simpler times when Southeast Asian kingdoms and tribes used to traverse along the West Philippine Sea to raid the coastal towns of mainland East Asia CENTURIES BEFORE any Chinese state had a proper navy.
(Even before the reign of the Ming dynasty).
The waters of Southeast Asia BELONG to the SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRIES.
Not just south asean seas, but also the west philippine sea want china to claim as their sea. The island shown in this video with military base of china is thousand miles away from china and that island is part of west philippine sea which just hundred miles away.

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.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
如果美国准备好在南海跟中国和俄罗斯开战，先把11艘航母都开过太平洋
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.
this place is called:
"THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEAS."
Thanks! I was about to comment this. 😕🙂
Most populous nations should be favored over this maritime rights like Phillipines. Honestly honest have a lot of land huge tracts to feed its people

She has explained this understandably clear because I already always loved and liked to learn what is behind the South China Sea.
"If one day China should change her color and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.” Deng Xiaoping speech at the United Nations, April 10, 1974
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?????

I'm scared that the South China Sea dispute is just a taste for what's to come on resource scarcity on a global scale. For hundreds of years the competition for resources have always been a trigger for war. 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?
As the fossil fuels becoming out of favour due to climate changes, l think the chances for war is remote.
China has been using SCS to trade with ASEAN and even Arabic nations more than a thousand years, and using those islets for typhoon shelter etc. They have the right to proclaim in 1929. The Pacific Ocean is carved up by western powers and Sulu Sea joining Malaysia is solo to Philippine only! Why?

Well, it's a fact that islands are first come first take policy.China found them first And documented. It's better for involved countries to work out acollaboration deal,Than to change the law. Also sea is open for anyone to sail through as long as not very close to islands.
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.
Artificial islands are awarded neither territorial sea nor EEZ. There is no gray area on this.
@@garymartin9777 Thank you, Gary. Clicked the comment to say just this.
@@garymartin9777 eez is not territorial waters. Now unclos territorial waters is only 12 miles. China had made reservation to unclos 2006 to protect their exsisting territorial soveriegn before unclos. That means the 11 dash sea is exempted
While philipine had not made reservation. This means their original territorial sea limit stipulated in the treaty of paris, 118° meridian is no more when they ratifed unclos. Now is only 12 miles from philipines borders.

@@montana6768 😂
2:20 the main reason for this conflict is because of the cartographer that drew the nine dash line
The Nine Dash Line 'map' is essentially propaganda. You think China would simply mind its own business without it?
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.

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.

If China succeeded, then it’s neighboring countries won’t be able to regain their rights on their seas anymore. UNCLOS should’ve stand their ground and do what they have to do.
i come from Vietnam and i remembered in 2015 we fought against China on Facebook, Twitter so serious that at that time i was in grade 8 but i changed my facebook's avatar to contribute to our fight, too!
thank you so much

If there is a country that does not follow international law, all countries should help to punish it
Excellent journalism, fantastic journalist.
“Loads of fish”.....not really! The Chinese fishing vessels with their huge drag nets are destroying Oceans of the world!
I live in one of those Southeast Asian countries, And I have been waiting for Start Here to cover it. :) Thank you al Jazeera.
Strange though it is, I believe that al Jazeera is my best source of international news.

This presenter is absolute fire on all fronts 🔥
Thank you for the video. Main points I guess are 1. South China sea dispute is insidious. And the on-going pandemic has made the ASEAN people put this dispute at the back seat to deal with the pandemic instead. 2. China has stood for thousand of years. If history will tell us what'll happen, one should look at the dedication of the Qin dynasty that made the warring states into one big imperial country. Pres. Duterte candidly admitted in his recent speech that the Philippines (apparently) lost some its islands in the S.China sea because it followed the directive of Pres. Obama to back off from the disputed waters while China did not comply and stood in its ground. They did not leave and continued to do reclamation projects that we can now see today. Some people in the Phils are saying, Vietnam has claimed even more islands in the S. China sea than China. So, it is not just China as the one big bully but all of the ASEAN countries are like siblings trying to claim their inheritance, some are aggressive, some are not.
3. The almost unspoken word in this video, WAR. The only way to resolve (actually, just escalate) the issue is for one of the ASEAN countries to fight for its claim by declaring war. Pres. Duterte admitted even during his presidential campaign that it is the most likely solution but he will not go to war. Nobody wins in a war. Because the likely situation for us, SE Asians, is we would become the next Middle East-the middle of world conflicts. So, if these disputed islands are not really rich in oil, we (Pinoys) might as well not be aggressive, which seems to be the case. Recently approved energy projects are geothermal powerplants and some local energy cooperatives are building their own solar farms. If it's for fish resource, we must repopulate our nearest coastlines. We have been doing distant-water fishing and importing since the fish pop'n went down in the 80s, pushing us further into the South China sea. It is because we're not doing sustainable fishing and consuming fish even at young stage. Not to mention our growing pop'n. It is pandemic, but the lockdowns only resulted to lost jobs and pregnant women 😅. Learn family planning! The hope we can see is that China will learn to compromise. It's been promoting its image by funding international media. Gentrification is sooner or later will be on its way to China. It can turn to Myanmar (or had already?) but there is unrest in that place now. But it can turn to the Philippines, considering we are the gateway to the Pacific Ocean, the other-side of the trading world. I hope the Philippines will play the game well. And hope that the leaders will always put at the front of their minds that no sacrifice is too great for the things we want. If we want the islands to be solely ours, what can we sacrifice? If we want peace, what can we sacrifice?

You answered the question the first 10 seconds of the video. Anywhere there’s oil and gas and minerals there’s ALWAYS disputes

- thanks Aljazera for RIGHT INFORMATIONS.
1) informative
2) attractive to listen to.
3) brief for the topic
Love this!! More!
China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines all claim sovereignty over the South China Sea, but in fact, each country maintains actual control situation and tries to avoid armed conflict as much as possible. It is good!
Building military bases and tries to avoid armed conflict? That doesn't add up
China nearly claims all of South China Sea but other don't.
Splendid
Come on UN ASEAN must unite! UNCLOS must prevail! It must be followed! By all countries! China must support it!

Sandra Gathmann... photogenic, beautifully spoken, easy to listen to, wicked smahht... let's see more of HER! Nice job, young lady...
The Chinese don't see the South China see essential to their survival, They see it essential to their conquest. Don't get it mixed up.
The fight is because Aussie Iron Ore Spot Price (Any Origin) is at a current level of 169.63, up from 155.43 last month and up from 95.76 one year ago. This is a change of 9.14% from last month and 77.14% from one year ago. Cheers🍻
