The geopolitics of the South China Sea is a complex and multifaceted issue involving territorial claims, strategic military interests, and economic considerations. It remains a critical issue with implications for regional stability, international law, and global trade.
The situation is dynamic, with ongoing developments influencing the balance of power and relations among involved countries. China claims most of the South China Sea through its "Nine-Dash Line," a demarcation line that covers about 90% of the sea. This claim is based on historical maps and has been a point of contention with other countries.
Several Southeast Asian countries have competing claims. These include - Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, & Taiwan. The United States has no territorial claims but conducts freedom of navigation operations (FONOPs) to challenge excessive maritime claims and ensure free passage. The U.S. also supports allies and partners in the region.
