The China Seas consist of a series of marginal seas in the Western Pacific Ocean, around China. They are the major components signifying the transition from the continent of Asia to the Pacific Ocean. They have been described in terms of their collective vastness and complexity:
Seas included in the China Seas are:

The East China Sea is a marginal sea east of China. The East China Sea is a part of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of roughly 1,249,000 square kilometres (482,000 sq mi). To the east lies the Japanese islands of Kyushu and the Ryukyu Islands, to the south lies the South China Sea, and to the west by the Asian continent. The sea connects with the Sea of Japan through the Korea Strait and opens to the north into the Yellow Sea. The sovereign states which border the sea include South Korea, Japan, the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China. In the nineteenth century, the sea was known as Mer de Corée (Sea of Korea).
The East China Sea is a part of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of roughly 1,249,000 square kilometres (482,000 sq mi). It is bounded on the east by Kyūshū and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, on the south by the South China Sea, and on the west by the Asian continent. It connects with the Sea of Japan through the Korea Strait; it opens in the north to the Yellow Sea.
East China or Eastern China (simplified Chinese: 华东; traditional Chinese: 華東; pinyin: Huádōng) is a geographical and a loosely defined cultural region that covers the eastern coastal area of China.
Although an intangible and loosely defined concept, for administrative and governmental purposes the region is defined by the Chinese Central Government to include the provinces of (in alphabetical order) Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, and Zhejiang, as well as the municipality of Shanghai. Since the Chinese government claims Taiwan and the few outlying islands of Fujian (Kinmen and Matsu) governed by the Republic of China (Taiwanese government) as its territory, the claimed "Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China" is also classified in this region.

China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.
South China (simplified Chinese: 华南; traditional Chinese: 華南; pinyin: huá nán) is a geographical and cultural region that covers the southernmost part of China. Its precise meaning varies with context.
In the broadest sense, Southern China can denote the entire portion of the country south of the line demarcated by the Qin Mountains and Huai River. Between 1945 and 1949, the Republic of China defined Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian and Taiwan as the "Seven Provinces of South China" (simplified Chinese: 华南七省; traditional Chinese: 華南七省; pinyin: huá nán qī shěng). The term can also be used to denote the Lingnan region; but today, the phrase is generally used to refer only to Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau (historically also known as Liangguang). Defined as such, South China is also contained within South Central China.
The Wall Street Journal's John Bussey gives us the context behind the ongoing dispute between China and Japan over a group of islands administered by Japan in the East China Sea. Under a treaty the U.S. is obligated to defend Japan against any attack on a territory the country administers.
This drill was the first large exercise using real missiles and torpedoes organized on the East China Sea after the discussion on PLA's combat training. The drill focused more on training in actual combat, conducting combat in systematic frame, and paid more attention to innovation and development.

https://modeldiplomacy.cfr.org/ Elizabeth Economy and Sheila Smith, Council on Foreign Relations senior fellows, provide an overview of “Dispute in the East China Sea”—a scenario from CFR’s Model Diplomacy, a free multimedia simulation program that engages students through role-play to understand the challenges of shaping U.S. foreign policy in an interconnected world. Smith lays out a basic understanding of the dispute, highlighting the East China Sea as a maritime boundary for four East Asian nations: China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. However as evidenced by current headlines, the East China Sea is most often thought of in the context of the bilateral dispute between Japan and China over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. Economy notes that Japan administers the disputed islands, but tha...

China has demanded an immediate end to the US reconnaissance flights in "Chinese airspace". Beijing says such flights endanger its maritime security. The comments were made after American military officials said two Chinese fighter jets intercepted a US spy plane over the East China Sea. The incident happened amid high-level China-U.S. talks in Beijing. China and several regional countries seeking control of trade routes are locked in dispute over the South China Sea. The territorial dispute has become a source of tension between Beijing and Washington. Beijing accuses Washington of meddling in regional issues and militarizing the South China Sea.

TOKYO — Japan on Tuesday called on China to halt the construction of oil and gas exploration platforms in a disputed area of the East China Sea. The claims were made in as part of a Defence White Paper approved by the Japanese Cabinet on Tuesday. The disputed areas lies southeast of Shanghai and Japanese officials said that there are 16 Chinese platforms close to Japan's side of the sea, with 12 of those platforms being built since June 2013. Japan has long expressed concern that platforms close to the maritime border could be used to extract resources from the Japanese side of the line. Tokyo is also worried that the platforms could be used as radar stations to monitor air and sea activity in the region, which is close to the disputed Senkaku, or Diaoyu Islands claimed by both countri...
