South China Sea: The Dispute Creates Capital
The South China Sea hosts immensely rich underwater assets and proves to be a commercial gateway for the international community. The 3.5 square kilometers sea is one of the world’s busiest route for ships that holds multiple claims from the bordering states. The territorial claims from the bordering states, its contradiction to the maritime law and the interests of big powers such as USA, Russia and India makes the south china sea clash a hot topic for discussion in the international Relations discourse. Geographically South China Sea is important due to its strategic security issues and the claims somewhat violates the international law. But it is Understandable that the International politics rest upon this contradiction of interests and the South China Sea clash is profitable economically as well as politically. That is why they chose a statues quo and continue creating capital from this maritime conflict.
