got to love how people say "Because it's called South China Sea, it belong to China". Historically, the sea was called "South China sea" because the European navigators in the past have not completely explored South East Asia. Since China was the only Eastern country that most Europeans of the time knew about, the navigators decided to called it "south China sea" because it was the reference that there was this ocean in the South of China, the only great nation they have knowledge of. It was never meant to be used as proof of ownership, but rather acts like milestones which help people navigate where they are. Hard core Chinese nationalists on the internet used the naming to defend their view that because it was called "South China sea", it meant the sea belong to them by historical value. That is like saying that India own the entire Indian ocean because it was named after them, or that the British's "Honorable East Indian company" belong to India because it has the word India in it.
Could you imagine starting a war about a few islands in the middle of the sea and a tiny peaceful nation by the name taiwan. I dont get these "leaders"
I have always asked myself the same things and then I concluded that there are people who are just plain evil. Maybe it is their upbringing, the challenges that they faced growing up, or they are just plain evil. They are not guided by the same moral standards like you and I do. All they think about is getting more power, possibly conquering the world to boos their ego for some reason.
Dream on... Sadly for Tibet...Tibet is a done deal for China...they have already taking ownership of many Ports all over Europe under the pretence of helping the said country... Greece... Germany...etc etc...etc.
"Even though these islands may not look like much" - they're very beautiful in an ecological sense- and you're right, they are worth fighting for, just not in the way you probably meant it.
As far as I know, there is no war on the South China Sea. I only wonder why the US, India, Japan and Australia discuss the issue. All of those countries are thousands of miles away.
They are not all share their main trade routes their . Also India China are fighting in Himalaya , China Australia are fighting over trade , Japan China are fighting for island , USA and China are fighting for world dominance
Do not be naive. See this, if they control that area of the sea, they gain abit of power. They may tax ships that pass through there, and get stupendous amount of money. Why the money? To fund their military ambitions in the area of course. They want Taiwan, part of India, and vengeance on Japan. There is no war now, but letting this pass will result in wars later on in the future. Picture a child, if you do not punish them, they will keep making more bad decisions to test your limits. Same case here.
@@theleshan Why not? China was humiliated at the beginning of the XX century. They just have been waiting and working for more convenient circumstances.

Taiwan is just another China in its conduct in SCS. It brain-deadly mimics China’s claim, and even occupies the largest island in the area. Tell me that is not bogus! Taiwan get lost!
@@ghrbaa6727 Taiwan has been occupying Taiping Island since 1956. Largest island in the Spratlys and it’s only about 113 acres. They use to occupy the second largest Thitu Island but evacuated during a typhoon in April 1971. The Taiwanese returned in July when they found that the Philippine Marine Corps was on the island. The Taiwan navy was ready to fight but they suddenly received an order from above: no challenge, the troops changed to Taiping Island. The Hague 2016 ruling was never about sovereignty of the Spratly Islands, it was about 200 miles EEZ and the ruling was in the Philippines favor. Taiping Island or any of the small islands, artificial islands, reefs or rocks in the Spratlys are not entitled to a 200 miles EEZ according to the Hague ruling. And 200 miles EEZ means fishing and oil resources it doesn’t mean you own the seas. A ship can sail through a countries 200 miles EEZ but not 12 miles territorial waters.
just stop arguing We all knows that It is the Philippines which is the closest among all the claimants to the spratly islands. Therefore its the Philippines who has whole right for its ownership

what price are you going to pay?
why retreated in 2016 when confronted with China in South China sea?
Time changed, US is no longer the country it used to be. It even cannot solve Iran and North korea, let alone China. lol
Hey! Stay in your property unless you are looking for a problem!
Who should own the China Sea is more worthy of discussion.
This report is like saying, because we are interested in her money, we are fighting for it.
God owns the sea.

Your so-called international court over the Philippines suing China on the South China Sea is not a UN court but a court that renting the venue from the UN with supporting funding from the US. How is this fair? And the supporting country - the US has not joined the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The incompetent secretary-General of the United Nations should withdraw.
You cant blame him..when UN itself is being control by veto power ie China
how about we all.... eat less fish and stop using fossil fuels. RIP untouched coral reefs destroyed my militarism
Yeah like damn 200 militia ships in Philippines EEZ LIKE DAMN THEY ARE JUST YOU can see them from the shore
The allies just need one push of a button from winnie the pooh and all hell will break loose.

20 hours ago? Maybe you should have paid attention 20 years ago.
It was actually 34 years ago when it became already clear.
There is oil.
Im just speaking on when it became patently obvious to me at about 7 years old, and how all the projections and futures imagined were right on track the whole time coming up.
china could have stick to the one belt one road initiative only
and come out as the dominating continental economic power
but no
china is greedy, and it wants global military power too
I don't really agree with china occupying scs sea,but I see why they did what they did.Plus,after the occupation of china of scs sea islands,there has been decreasing in terrorism activities which philippines governments failed to contained resulting attack on malaysia.
Asia Love China🤩
Asia hate CCP
yes
Asia like RC but hate PRC
Republic of China (Taiwan) had together with US Navy claim back the South China Sea form Japan in 1945
Don’t be stupid. What rights did Japan or Taiwan or US had over a vast sea surrounded by Southeast Asian states? Whatever possession those aggressor colonial powers had were bogus and based on deceit and subjugation of innocent Southeast Asian peoples! All of you are guilty of crimes against humanity!

Simple:
The US wants to cut off China's trading route, the South China Sea
China starts building islands
The US becomes a baby and starts crying
Well it is actually China who wants to be able to cut it off if they need to. And its in interest of all western countries to make sure they won’t be able to do that.
@Michael Yeah but we can get to the point when China will be able to cut them off. And when you are able to cut off so important waters, you are in very powerful position and you can dictate anything to anyone.
Bs!!!!
@@keithf.d8345 nope
Yeh till china invades not just the waters but also the islands of Philippines
Not everyone is fighting over the South China Sea.
she’s talking about Freedom of Navigation. How about Korea, Japan, Canada, US, etc., passing by that region.
OIL and fishing that simple!
Why would the US need more oil we are currently producing more than any country in the world and are the top exporter of oil. The US also grows more than enough food to support our population unlike China.
@@pattypatriot1418 more money the better and leverage of course
@@stathis1175 People like you are so ignorant and will parrot whatever lie is being spread. The South China sea is the most economically important sea in the world it makes up 1/3 of all trade. So don't you see a problem with one country making claims to the entire sea? This issue effects everyone and is therefore in everyone's interest that it remain free and open.
It’s not that countries are fighting over it but that countries are protecting their territories from China.

If you measure the territory only by distance, taiwan, japan, korea is much closer to China
