BAKU - At least 3.4 trillion USD worth of trade passes through the South China Sea annually, accounting for a third of the global maritime trade. In various parts of the sea, there is the promise of crude oil and natural gas beneath the seabed, while other areas hold rich fishing grounds. But, the sea is also loaded with distinct hazards and chokepoints such as straits, reefs, smugglers, secessionists, and so on. On top of everything are the political boundaries of the nearby coastal states. No fewer than seven countries have maritime claims in the South China Sea, each overlapping the other. But, one nation, in particular, makes the most daring claim. The People's Republic of China not only disputes the waters of each of its neighbours but in doing so it seeks to cast its hegemony over the nations bordering the South China Sea.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Shirvan.
On behalf of millions of Americans I would like to apologize to the people of the Philippines for the careless and reckless behavior of the Obama administration. Hopefully we can be friends again someday.

“Imagine if Russia militarily occupied a strategic area in the Baltic’s and NATO only administered a verbal protest” 😂
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what would happen if Russia decided to do that. Basically the same happened to Ukraine after all.
@@bapo224 1. Crimea is not a rock in the sea. 2. Russia has some kind of historical claim on the area (I'm not going to debate the validity of that claim). 3. Residents of Crimea did vote in a referendum to sucede from Ukraine to join Russia. You're comparing apples to oranges here buddy. I'm not saying I support Russia or Ukraine on this issue. It is what it is. Anyways Russia can't afford to take on any new territory... People always forget economical restraints when examining geopolitics.
@@hotrodjones74 Crimea is only a third of the land annexed. And the fact those lands are populated land areas instead of a rock only makes it worse...
NATO is the north Atlantic treaty organisation of course it is more active in the north Atlantic and it's connected sea the Baltic. This region was supposed to be protected by SEATO. The South East Asia treaty organisation. But it failed a long time ago.
@@bapo224 no the same did not happen in Crimea. Crimea led to a massive trade embargo on Russia also the west is shipping loads and loads of war materials essentially for free to Ukraine. We're essentially waging a proxy war in Ukraine.
I honestly do not understand how China thinks they have this claim at all.

Some times it does. So long as there are vegans and feminists and religious ppl in the world , so long as there are banks and governments we need violence as an option . Violence is necessary as a means to an end within limits
China aren't as strong as they think they are. They can play at strength because the truly powerful are reluctant to antagonize them, but xi is playing in his own back yard like Hitler was when he invaded Czechoslovakia, make no mistake or does not make him capable of conquering the world. The US is a lot better prepared today than they were in 1939 and yet even in ww2 they did win.

You think it is a joke, but it is a reality in many countries. In Croatia we have over 500 000 war veterans, in a country that now has around 4 million people. That is more than 10% of population. And don't forget all the soldiers that actually died. Imagine if these people were all soldiers during the war in 90s we would not only kick Serbia's ass in a few days, but we could have conquered the entire Europe. These people and their children get many benefits, from scholarships, higher pensions to cheaper public funded housing.

Not even coral reefs absent of resources are safe.
Only if they're radioactive...
Nothing has been safe since Europeans
@@FUZionist China has been imperialistic in SEA 1,500 years before Europeans arrived at the area.
The French and Imperial Japan sought security by building a line of static defense, the French with the Maginot line and the Imperial Japanese with the island chain occupied after Pearl Harbor. China would do well to learn from history and study the American island hopping campaign of WW2. An island is NOT an aircraft carrier. An island is static and cannot be easily rebuilt or resupplied. Carriers can MOVE. Carriers can be repaired, resupplied and built in safe harbors and allow for much greater tactical and strategic flexibility. We on the other hand can easily cut off Chinese supply lines in the South China Sea at any time and at all places using inexpensive naval mines at a very limited number of choke points. The tactics of naval blockade are well demonstrated throughout naval history, one recent example being Operation Starvation (ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Starvation).

Sounds better than South China Shit
@@marlarki5280 But we should.
SEA sea - sounds like thanks
If what you say is correct. YOU have made geo politics very interesting. So brilliant.Well done
15:08 "....the strong get to bend and break the rules...." Britain rules the waves? Not at all, Britain waives the rules.
Britain? You mean *London's CITY bankers.*

Ah yes Britain, the new Holy Land for Muslim immigrants.
@Emerald Hawk It's a core tenet of Brexit
@Emerald Hawk Okay, that got me curious. From what I know, Brexiters are usually concerned about EU immigrants - like the ones from Poland - because they're apparently "stealing our jobs" (well, I'm not British, so not exactly "our", but you get my meaning). Wouldn't getting out of EU limit this?
"The Philippines is the only nation weak enough for China to enforce its will". Being a Filipino myself, it is disappointing hearing those words since back in the 60's and 70's, The Philippines is the "Major Power" in the region, overpowering other south east asian nations and leading them in politics. This just shows that our government has indeed become weak and even though our current president is proud in his ability to openly voice his emotions, we, the filipino people, fear the possibility of falling into a time of being China's puppet.
That's because the Philippine government kisses the ass of China.
nope because too confident from external threat from other country because of mutual defense treaty by US. so marcos was right for be self reliance in territorial defense in the 60s and 70s
This could be turned around easily if Filipinos work hard and smart enabling a much higher economic value. thru that, Philippines could potentially establish nuclear power that would threaten other nation, even china
@@PugadBavboy the US cannot defend the Philippines while that MDT is decades-old. The US also has a problem not just with China but with Iran and other nation-states. The Philippines is too much reliant on the US-PH MDT.
Our President is open to all negotiation.. we are still lucky enough to be able to get 60% share for the gas exploration in SOUTH CHINA SEA... if I am CHINA and greedy enough i wont share anything for the PHILIPPINES.. think twice...this is a US BLACK PROPAGANDA to stop ASIAN from UNITING.. ASIAN countries are the RICHEST COUNTRY because of our VAST AMOUNT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.. Since BRITISH/SPANISH time they conquer us and divided us.. MARCOS wanna UNITE the ASIAN COUNTRIES and BOOST our economies that's why the US did everything to ruined him.
This is nonbiased....
Good analysis and news
Very informative ,thanks for the video .Plz upload a video on Geopolitics of Bangladesh & world's important sea routes
Intelligent, articulate & very informative overview. Well done.
"imgaing if russia occupied some strategic real estate in the baltics and nato only reacted with a verbal protest" kind of like crimea dont you think.
Good point but U.S didnt had any threaty with Ukraine binding U.S to military response. So baltics are different than Crimea. Baltics are actually NATO members protected by 5th Nato article.
Many there are Russians. Ukrainian sounds like Russian if it isn't.
Not the same. Baltics and SSC can be freely and easily entered. While to go to crimea, any US Fleet have to pass the bosporus. And turkey is not an amiable american subject like it used to be.
Ukraine had lots of nuclear warheads after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They exchanged it for a treaty that Russia broke when they invaded Crimea. Ukraine should have kept its nuclear weapons. Bad decisions.
@@Destroyer4700 i can understand Russian point of view here and im Polish so it's says something. U.S promised after unification of Germany that no post soviet country wil host Nato rocket installation, meantime Poland and Romania are obtaining more and more dangerous weaponry (patriots, F35), Russia knew that this can be last moment to invade crimea. I understand east europe point of view so i can also understand Russian response to our actions.
Your video is exact and accurate whats going on .....Giving an information peoples correctly....thanks brother!!
Excellent documentary thankyou
Merry Christmas from 🇵🇭
This video is one-sided you should cover why does America have over 400+ military bases surround China?? Why China is building these island in the South China sea?? Why does America pump out billion dollar worth of fake Anti-china propaganda trying hard to keep the fearmongering of China alive while keeping its American imperialism alive in Asia??
@@jakelaw9768 i think he already covered the reasons why china is building military infrastructure on the south china sea (west philipinne sea for filipinos). Watch it again my friend, thoroughly
@@jakelaw9768 anyways, welcome to the philippines, a chinese overseas territory.
And duterte scratching his balls waiting for a blessing from china...

I like how the chocolate got involved in this disputed islands report.
I'm coming to find out that Geopolitics is pretty much one of the most important forms of politics rather than this "social politics" the West seems to think is so important.
All countries want more power and influence we are living in interesting times
Where can I find an editable digital display of the Earth as gorgeous as this one?

Oh, I thought you wrote "edible". Chocolate, anyone?
3:37 One of the reclaimed islands is literally called "mischief"!
I mean.. how brazen is that? 😳
Now I understand why India's action against China in the Himalayas was important.
How can Philippines not fight back and wait for u.s, and just let China occupy an island so close to it.
Philippines isn't strong enough militarily. Whereas China and India are placed 3rd and 4th respectively according to military strength. Philippines dependence on the US is huge.

Because Obama did nothing. As usual. Weak.
"Probably, this would cause the Philippines to go back to the arms of the US"
Most likely not, but wud still continue forging deals inline to both of them, rendering PH (one way or the other) both looking like going against & bending over to the US; same approach wud be done on China.
This is bcoz *actual mechanism* on whether or not the US wud choose to defend the PH is NOT based on the PH-US MDT, rather it's based on whether the US *likes* to defend the PH *or not*
Um no? *It's a treaty.* Whether you "like" it or not has nothing to do with it. There are *ZERO* mechanisms. No laws. No safeguards that force either the US or the Philippines to obey it. What it is, however, is an honorable agreement. If you break the treaty, you lose geopolitical trust henceforth, and other countries will find it harder to believe your promises. As simple as that.
Especially so in this case, given that the Philippines is more than just an ally. It's actual former US territory. Part of the reason of Duterte's anger at the US and his seemingly more neutral stance with China shortly after his election, is because he does not trust the US to honor the treaty. He actually admits that in his speeches. He has stopped going against China because he believes the US will abandon the Philippines if China attacks. And he knows the Philippines has no chance of surviving a war with China.
And it's kinda justified given that the US did nothing when the Philippines was bringing up the UNCLOS case against China; as well as the fact that the US has basically ignored the Philippines in the last 30 years after they lost access to military bases. Other newer US allies (and even enemies) are getting trade deals and advanced military gear, while the Philippines was basically forgotten.
The US gave free cobra helicopters to Pakistan in the 80s. Pakistan. Then actually have Pakistan free money in 2017 to keep those helicopters up to date. The same country that hid Bin Laden. They also sold billions of dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and did free bombing runs for them on Yemen and Iran. The same country that created Bin Laden and exported the Wahhabist doctrine of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban.
When the Philippines asked to buy the same helicopters so it could fight ISIS insurgents, the US Congress literally blocked the sale. Because they didn't "trust" the Philippines. Hilarious, right?
@@AngryKittens That's sad, does the US really have no base in the PH.? I cannot see why they would abandon such a strategic position. If they let China have the PH. wouldn't that leave a big hole in their containment strategy of China? I think the PH. ppl. voted for Duterte' because of the drug corruption and his hard line on the insurgents in the south, NOT to get intro bed with China, will he be allowed to keep the presidency?
@@johnzuijdveld9585 There's the Visiting Forces Agreement, training exercises for the militaries of both nations, but it's just for show. The lease for the bases was not renewed in the first place because of political anger at the CIA support for the Marcos dictatorship which bankrupted the country in the 70s and 80s.
And yes, aside from Duterte and his cabinet, no one in the Philippines trusts China. In fact, we believe he's been blackmailed or threatened by Xi hence his abrupt change of heart after he visited Beijing early in his term. Either way, we're probably fucked in the near future. China is already harassing our fishermen in the Spratlys and our regular air and coast guard patrols within our maritime borders. They're literally claiming the sea right up to our shores.
One thing has never changed though, the Philippines is overwhelmingly pro-US, as the US holds the largest diaspora population of Filipinos.
@@vinccennt1447 And yet you have Duterte minions who specifically mention Taiwan as a "province of china" for absolutely no reason. Or bringing up the Sabah dispute. All seemingly done more to serve China rather than the real interests of the country. How sure are you that they're not all bribed or blackmailed into being Chinese puppets already? China did that countries like Laos and Cambodia easily enough. They can do that here too.
@@vinccennt1447 My 'Dissenter browser' is not showing me what you're responding to, but I'm sure that most Filipinos do still have a feeling off allegiance to the USA. Even if they do not want more US forces in their country. But Pres. Duterte (sorry for bad spelling) seems to be trying to get closer to the Chinese govt. . . . This IS a worry for the West.
One tsunami. Just one.
Sadly the plates are conveniently located near Indonesia. Those Chinese artificial island are as far away from the plates as countries like Philippines or Vietnam.
Or even a strong typhoon. One thing I've not seen mentioned in any comment above yours is that Nature votes last. And you know what ancient books say about "building one's house upon sand". This area ain't Dubai, meteorologically, no tame Red Sea here.
@@dsnodgrass4843 That typhoon would ravage us instead. Typhoons rarely form on that area.
Sun Light sadly a underwater nuke is likely to not only get rid of the Chinese artificial islands, but also trigger a tsunami that affects other ASEAN countries. If that’s the price you are willing to pay, go for it.

It's just wise that the current Philippine president removed majority of US military activity in the country. Otherwise The Philippines would probably be a battleground in case of war
