China's territorial disputes in the South China Sea have raised tensions with neighboring countries from "summary" of The Story of China by Michael Wood
In the South China Sea, China has been embroiled in territorial disputes with neighboring countries. These disputes have not only increased tensions in the region but have also raised concerns internationally. China claims almost the entire South China Sea, citing historical records to support its territorial claims. However, this has been contested by countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, who also lay claim to parts of the sea. These territorial disputes have led to confrontations between China and its neighbors, as well as with the United States. The U. S. has deployed warships to assert freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, which China sees as a provocation. This has further escalated tensions in the region, with both sides engaging in military drills and shows of force. The South China Sea is a crucial waterway for international trade, with billions of dollars worth of goods passing through it every year. The presence of these territorial disputes has therefore raised concerns about the stability and security of the region. Countries like Japan and Australia have also expressed their worries about the growing assertiveness of China in the South China Sea. China's actions in the South China Sea have been seen as a challenge to the current international order, particularly the rules-based system that governs maritime disputes. The lack of a resolution to these disputes has created a volatile situation in the region, with the potential for miscalculations and conflicts to occur. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
