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.

No ASEAN Agreement on South China Sea
It came as a surprise yesterday when the Association of South East Asian Nations, or ASEAN, announced a unified decision not to "internationalize" territorial conflicts in the South China Sea. But it came as a bigger shock earlier today when the Philippines asserted that unified decision was never made. The initial announcement was made by Cambodia, chair of ASEAN and close ally of China. But on Monday, as Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen began to conclude the meeting, Philippine President Benigno Aquino abruptly interrupted and said the consensus had never been reached. The Chinese regime has aggressively asserted claims to the oil rich waters in the South China Sea. It's expressed a preference to handle disputes bilaterally and not through organizations like ASEAN. Cambodia has been seen as assisting the Chinese regime to avoid discussions. As Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived in Phnom Penh over the weekend, China extended a $100 million loan to Cambodia for a cement plant. On Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda accused Cambodia of using its position as ASEAN chair to limit talks on the dispute, warning it could impact on the region's peace and stability. The thorny issue over the South China Sea also made ASEAN history back in July. It was the first time that ASEAN's annual meeting failed to make a joint communiqué in its 45-year history. The fresh tensions came ahead of a meeting between US President Barack Obama and ASEAN leaders. Obama will also meet ...

Dragon dares on South China Sea
China triggers a massive international row, virtually claiming its authority on the disputed South China Sea by ordering the police to board and search ships entering the South China Sea area.

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 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 ...

China Begins Deepwater Drilling In South China Sea (CNOOC)
China will soon start drilling from an advanced new oil platform designed to tap into deep-sea petroleum resources in the South China Sea, according to reports in the country's official media on Monday. The development is major technological progress for China, which claims to have developed the new platform indigenously through its state-owned corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) [NYSE: CEO, Hong Kong: 0883]. It also occurs in an area where China has clashed recently with neighbors including the Philippines. CNOOC is China's third largest oil and gas company after China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec, and specializes in exploration and development of maritime hydrocarbon resources. Most of the platforms to date are located in water shallower than 300 meters, considered the deep-water mark by the industry; operations in waters deeper than 300 meters remain in the start-up stage. The new platform, dubbed "Haiyang Shiyou - 981" or "Oceanic Petroleum 981" was inaugurated in May of 2011 in Shanghai, and has only recently been moved into place 320 kilometers (or 198 miles) southeast of Hong Kong, at the northern end of the South China Sea and within the country's Exclusive Economic Zone. Operations at the rig are slated to begin on Wednesday. CNOOC originally paid 6 billion yuan or $952 million for the rig, which was built by China State Shipbuilding Corp. CSSC claims that the rig can drill to a depth up to 10000-12000 meters (32800 to 39360 ...

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.

Sea of Trouble: 'US-China tension spells trouble for Asia-Pacific'
China has hit back at the US for criticizing its new military garrison in the South China Sea. The Sansha base was created just two weeks ago on Chinese territory. But it's in an area where competing territorial claims pit Beijing against the Philippines and Vietnam, among others. China set up the outpost to administer thousands of square miles of water it says are within its sovereignty. But Washington believes it's an attempt to occupy the entire South China Sea, which is rich in oil resources. The US has tens of thousands of military personnel in Asia-Pacific, and views itself as a stabilizing influence in the region. But Conn Hallinan, a senior analyst at Foreign Policy in Focus, believes regional tensions could escalate into an even wider conflict.
