The role of China in South China Sea and East China Sea
Nguyen, Cong Hung ; Knotková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
China as it the coastal State is surrounded from the East by the Pacific Ocean, which are further divided into 4 different seas, which the East China Sea and South China Sea is China's most important from economic aspects, as in these seas there are great natural wealth such as seafood and minerals where China and many other countries in the region are dependent, because economic development is related to its dependence on raw materials. These materials have been found in the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea and the Spratly islands in the South China Sea. But beside China other countries in the region also claim the disputed territories. The dispute between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands, China has dispute with Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei over the Spratly Islands. These disputes stretch for several decades and among the players there were several direct and indirect conflicts. In the near future we cannot expect that there would be some resolution, given that China and others have in recent years arming heavily militarily, and so we can also assume that there might even be a direct conflict. It is therefore necessary to monitor this area, because here we can see conflicts of interests between the great powers like China and Japan, but also the U.S. are showing an interest in this area.
