Deep dives
The Importance of the South China Sea
The South China Sea is of crucial importance to China due to its strategic location and rich resources. More than 60% of global maritime trade, 22% of total global trade, and one-third of global shipping pass through this area. It is also a region with abundant oil reserves and a significant fishing industry. China has claimed the nine-dash line to establish territorial control over the South China Sea, as it is surrounded by many US allies. The potential loss of this area would be detrimental to China's trade, security, and access to vital resources.
