The South China Sea dispute involves competing territorial claims over the South China Sea by several countries. China claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea based on its "nine-dash line" from 1947, but this claim is opposed by other Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines and Vietnam. The region is a flashpoint due to its strategic importance for trade routes and potential oil and gas reserves under the sea bed. Tensions have risen as China has constructed artificial islands and sent vessels into disputed waters, while the US has increased naval presence in support of the freedom of navigation. There is a risk of escalation as both sides defend their conflicting positions in the region.

What’s behind the South China Sea dispute?

The contact between the United States and China has quite recently arrived at another
achievement and this one is substantially more unmistakable than the allegations that have been
going to and fro about who's to be faulted for the Covid. China has removed and effectively
decried the US for what it calls the unlawful trespass of a warship off the sheesha Islands. It
doesn't stop there however China is currently advising the United States that it's willing and
skilled to shield itself and afterward proposed that the United States should set to the side its
statement Cold War attitude and require some investment rather to test and isolate its mariners
from additional spread of Covid 19.China and its neighbors all need a touch of the South China
Ocean. Rights to point, space, oil and gas. This fight has everything, tallying the potential for
war. The Philippines can't no longer breathe these days on account of so numerous Chinese
gatekeepers in our West Philippine Sea we will pass on gradually so we choose to take a last
action to breathe. As of late they really showed antagonism toward Filipino anglers who were
STILL in the Philippine Economic Zone, simply attempting to get by, appearing in their vessels
with rockets and following the anglers.
The South China Ocean is wealthy in marine life. Contributing to this wealth are the
broad runoff of nutrient-laden waters from arrival and the upwellings of water in certain ranges
of the ocean. The ocean is intensely fished, however, and is the most source of creature protein
for the thickly populated Southeast Asian zone. This line, which skirts the Philippines, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Brunei and Vietnam, was to begin with drawn by the Patriot government of China in
1947. China's claim to the ocean is based both on the Law of the Ocean Tradition and its so-
called “nine-dash” line. In its administering, the tribunal considered the South China Ocean to be
a “semi-enclosed sea” as characterized by the Law of the Ocean Tradition — a body of water
firmly or to a great extent contained by arriving highlights. In any case, there still exists
incredible uncertainty over what China's nine-dash line suggests. Concurring to Wang, “The dash
lines cruel the sea, islands and reefs all have a place in China where China has autonomous
rights. But it's irregular, meaning that other nations can pass through the lines freely.” And
presently, China has drilled profoundly within the South China Ocean to recover silt center from
the seabed, state media detailed on Thursday, in the midst of pressures over debated waters with
equal claimants Taiwan and the Philippines, as well as with the United States.
The contention that they're utilizing is everything inside 200 miles of it by sea law so the
US is blaming China by doing this sort for stuff of what it calls a revisionist contention and it
says that it's going to keep on conveying its Navy the US Navy into these waters for the
insurance of its partners. China in the meantime is heightening its dangers to guard itself if the
US keeps on sending warships there neither one of the sides needs a hot conflict however the
competing is consistently getting more sizzling.
