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.

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. Hong Lei, spokesperson, Chinese Foreign Ministry, said, "Carrying out maritime management according to law is the justified right of a sovereign country."

Philippines clings to disputed island in South China Sea
Thitu Island is at the centre of one of the biggest territorial disputes in the world. It is part of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, which are believed to be sitting on billions of dollars' worth of oil and gas reserves. Six countries claim ownership of the tiny archipelago, including the Philippines, which has people living on Thitu Island as a means to strengthen its claim on the Spratlys. Al Jazeera's Jamela Alindogan reports from the Spratlys in the South China Sea.

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.

Indonesia Intervenes in South China Sea Dispute
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa was in Cambodia on Thursday, trying to mend an ASEAN rift over the disputed waters in the South China Sea. The ten ASEAN nations couldn't agree on how to deal with China's increasing assertiveness in disputed waters of the South China Sea. With the support of The Philippines and Vietnam, Indonesia has taken on the role of mediator in the dispute. Indonesia is drawing up a code of conduct to prevent any acts of conflict in the area. [Marty Natalegawa, Indonesian Foreign Minister]: "That Indonesia has been carrying out, over the past 36 hours, it is fair to describe it as being an intensive shuttle diplomacy effort ... ASEAN continues to remain to be united, to be cohesive on all issues of common concern, not least, and especially on the issue of South China Sea." Cambodia, the chair of ASEAN, is reliant on the Chinese regime for billions of dollars in assistance. It appears that political pressure from the Chinese regime had them break their long-standing alliance with Vietnam. They sided with the Chinese regime to scuttle discussion of the South China Sea dispute. Now the spotlight is fixed on the Chinese regime bullying Cambodia and other ASEAN countries. The Indonesian Foreign Minister is hoping to have an agreement drawn up with ASEAN members on the issue by the end of his tour.

China News - November 23 2012: New Passport Raises South China Sea Contentions
In today's China news, China's new passport, released on Thursday (November 22), has become a new point of contention, after the Chinese regime included parts of disputed sea territories as its own on a map inside the passport. Four Chinese hostages were released this Wednesday from being held by rebels in southern Columbia. They arrived this Thursday in Bogotá, the capital of Columbia. A businessman-turned advocate says he does not trust China's new Propaganda chief. Liu Qibao was appointed the new Minister of Propaganda this week, with his credentials as the Party chief of Sichuan province providing the necessary boost to get the promotion. Chinese people may soon be getting financial incentives to give up their organs, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday (November 23). Officially, China carries out about 10000 organ transplants each year. But with a cultural aversion to organ donation, the Chinese regime has been unable to explain where the bulk of the organs come from. The man who first alerted authorities to what would become the melamine-tainted milk scandal has been murdered. Jiang Weisuo, 44, was attacked by unidentified men in Xi'an city two weeks ago. On Friday, he passed away from his wounds. The Chinese regime technically owns most of the land in China. That makes for trouble when government developers want to tear down homes, and the homeowners refuse to sell. An elderly couple in Zhejiang province refused to move out of their home when demolition ...

China & India on collision course as oil & gas tension mounts
India has warned it's prepared to use force to secure its economic interests in the South China Sea. It's after allegations that Beijing had deliberately hampered its rival's oil and gas exploration efforts. As RT's Egor Piskunov reports, if they can't settle their dispute amicably, there are others who are ready to take full advantage.

China Focus - Loida Lewis on the Philippines and the South China Sea
China Focus has moved to a new channel, Be sure to subscribe to www.youtube.com The Spratly Islands and the Scarborough Shoal have been subject of big disputes between China, the Philippines, and other southeast Asian nations. Whoever controls the South China Sea—or the "West Philippine Sea" as Manila is now calling it—controls key shipping lanes as well as offshore oil and natural gas deposits. Last month, the conflict escalated when the Chinese navy sent a garrison to the Scarborough Shoal. Joining host Shelley Zhang on China Focus to discuss the issue is a woman who The Philippine Daily Inquirer called "China's Newest Public Enemy Number One" for her role in calling for a boycott of made-in-China goods: Loida Nicolas-Lewis, the national chair of US Pinoys for Good Governance.
