China and South  Sea

                                                Why China is claiming sovereignty over the south sea? The reasons are obvious.   Two Third of world trade is routed through the South China sea and China wants to control it. Besides that, there are big petroleum and gas resources below the South China Sea. Overall China has an expanding tendency by hook and crook.  It is also observed that China has one or another reason to have territorial disputes with all countries whichever are having Borders. 

                                             International Sea Laws are applicable to all the countries of the world but to advance its own interest china has gone up to creating Artificial Islands in the South China Sea and created its Military  Base thereon. One country can claim 20 kilometers of the Sea area from its coastline.  But to the overpass, same China has been creating artificial islands and also claiming some of the islands which are not habited at all in the South China Sea.

                                               It has created disputes between China and Countries like Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.  America and European countries are also agitated over the disputes. America, Britain, and many other countries have activated their Naval and Air force in the South Sea Area.

 

                                             

                                               Hence South  China Sea area has become a very critical matter of tension in the world as it is also a trade route for the superpower of the world.
