The South China Sea: Troubled Waters
Bordered by ten nations and including some of the world's most important shipping lanes and fisheries, the South China Sea is a vital region. Critically important mineral resources, including oil, are thought to be there in large quantities as well. The Chinese have long laid claim to nearly the entire South China Sea. That claim is contested by many nations and in some instances the conflict has turned violent. This summer the United States entered the fray. In July, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "The United States has a national interest in freedom of navigation, open access to Asia's maritime commons, and respect for international law in the South China Sea." This comment, made at a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' (ASEAN) regional forum held in Hanoi, triggered a vigorous response from Chinese authorities. Chinese authorities argue that they and other nations in the region can work out their differences on a bilateral, nation to nation basis. They say that the US is intruding into the discussion and attempting to make rights and use of the South China Sea an international issue. As Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi put it, "What will be the consequences to if this issue is turned into an international or multilateral one? It will only make matters worse and the resolution more difficult." Classroom use of this video is permitted. We would appreciate feedback from viewers. Please write to us at uschina@usc.edu.

The South China Sea: Flashpoint of the Asia-Pacific
CONTINUE WATCHING: ur1.ca TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: www.corbettreport.com If the Asia-Pacific region is becoming, in the words of Hillary "We came, we saw, he died" Clinton, "the strategic and economic center of gravity," then the South China Sea may just be the strategic center of that strategic center. At first glance, there is nothing particularly remarkable about this area of the Pacific. Stretching from the southern shores of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan in the north to Malaysia and Indonesia in the south, it covers about 3.5 million square kilometers and contains three archipelagos containing over 250 islands, reefs, shoals, atolls and sandbars, most of them containing no indigenous population, and many of them submerged for part or all of the year. Upon closer inspection, however, the waters comprising the South China Sea are of central importance to the region. It is the second busiest sea lane in the world, and contains proven oil reserves of over 7 billion barrels, with an estimated 28 billion barrels total and 266 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. As the sea's importance becomes more and more pronounced, and as the region itself sees its major players asserting themselves more aggressively on the world stage, the area has become a flashpoint for disputes between China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Now, tensions in the area are threatening to spill over into armed confrontation. Find out more in this week's Eyeopener report.

Philippines to stand ground in South China Sea: Aquino
If Philippines President Aquino succeeds in turning a preliminary agreement with his country's Muslim insurgents into a peace settlement, he will have succeeded where his predecessors have failed for 40 years. But it's far from the only problem on his plate. The Philippines is in the midst of an increasingly heated row with China over long-disputed territory in the South China Sea, and the President insists his country is determined to stand its ground Newsline's Kesha West spoke to Benigno Aquino at Malacanang Palace in Manila.

Vietnamese ship got intercepted in South China Sea
China surveillance vessel stops Vietnam ship in S. China Sea. On one of the Chinese maritime surveillance vessels' regular patrols, they successfully turned around a Vietnam ship which had sailed into China's jurisdiction on the South China Sea. On the second day of its patrols in the South China Sea, the Chinese surveillance vessels detected a foreign ship. It was coming towards them at high speed. The patrol forces say the foreign ship infringed China's sovereignty on the South China Sea. They immediately initiated the emergency response plan. The first step: requesting the ship to identify it. Huang Yong, team leader, China Maritime Surveillance Patrol, said, "This is Chinese maritime surveillance vessel 83. According to UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and laws of China, this area is under China's jurisdiction. We are executing our duties. Please leave the area." The surveillance vessels changed formation. The command vessel headed toward the Vietnam ship, flanked by three others. After around ten minutes, the Vietnam ship slowed down its speed and finally retreated.

Chinese Protesters Attack Japanese Embassy - South China Sea Dispute
Chinese Protesters Attack Japanese Embassy - South China Sea Dispute BEIJING — Thousands of Chinese besieged the Japanese embassy in Beijing on Saturday,Beging - hurling rocks, eggs and bottles, and protests broke out in other Chinese cities in an angry dispute over a group of remote islands. Paramilitary police with shields and batons barricaded the embassy, holding back and sometimes fighting with slogan-chanting, flag-waving protesters who at times appeared to be trying to storm the building. "Return our islands! Japanese devils get out!" some shouted. One held up a sign reading: "For the respect of the motherland, we must go to war with Japan." Protester Liu Gang, a migrant worker from the southern region of Guangxi, said: "We hate Japan. We've always hated Japan. Japan invaded China and killed a lot of Chinese. We will never forget." By early evening, police had succeeded in persuading some people to leave. Rings of anti-riot police stood guard in front of the embassy, apparently readying for a long night. "I think it's time for the Chinese government to get tougher. Look at what the ordinary people feel. The government should respond," said a man who gave his family name as Xue. "I don't mean war, but tougher action like sanctions. You can see how much Japan depends on our economy. Then don't sell them any rare earths," he said, referring to elements mined in China which are vital to defense, electronics and renewable-energy technologies. Japan said its foreign ...

Chinese Officials Condemn Japan over South China Sea
And tensions over the disputed South China Sea islands are on the rise. Chinese defense official condemned Japanese authorities on Tuesday while Japan released a white paper stating it would keep a "close eye" over the territory. The Chinese regime's Defense Ministry condemned Japanese officials over the disputed South China Sea Islands at a news conference on Tuesday. [Geng Yansheng, Chinese Defense Ministry Spokesman]: "Some official personnel in Japan have recently issued a series of irresponsible statements concerning the Diaoyu Islands." The Chinese regime and Japan have conflicting claims over the South China Sea Islands called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Japan's latest defense white paper, released at the time of the conference, stated: (pull quote): "We need to keep a close eye on its surveillance activities, such as the movement of its naval fleet, the conditions of its activity bases and shifts in its unique interpretations of legal definitions of such matters as exclusive economic zones." Tensions have increased also since Japan's Prime Minister, Yoshihiko Noda, said this month Japan is considering buying the disputed islands from their private owners. The Chinese regime announced on July 22 that it would set up a military garrison in South China Sea in its newly established city of Sansha. It already has a substantial military presence there and the move is a further assertion of its claims. The South China Sea has become Asia's biggest potential ...
