Rivalry in South China Sea

Authors(1) :-Surya Bhan Prasad

The South China Sea covers an area of about 3885000 square kilometers, with an average depth of about 1310 meters and situated at sout region of China. Economically and politically point of view it is very important because About 40% of the maritime trade of most countries goes through the South China Sea. Other then this, there is a lot of potential for crude oil found in this area and there are about 30000 types of fish in this area and this part is also in accounts for about 15% of fish production of the world. China wants to monopolize this area, while the border countries adjoining this area also show their control over some parts of this region, which is one of the main reasons for the dispute. Because this region is very important from the economic and political point of view, so America cannot let this region go under the control of any one country. Apart from this, Japan was once occupied here, so Japan also has a lot of interest in the area. For all these reasons, this area has been a matter of rivalry and the possibility of war in this area remains constant.
