In fact, some countries in Southeast Asia were also vassal states of ancient China in history, such as Myanmar, which imitated the example of North Korea, and so on. It was the Chinese establishment that felt that these vassal states were too far away from Beijing and were afraid that they would not be able to restrain them, so they were not included in the Chinese territory. After World War II, countries around the world launched a vigorous movement for independence, and Southeast Asian countries were no exception.
In addition to the struggle for sovereignty, there are also great economic interests in the struggle for sea power. This is the struggle for sea power.

The maritime sovereignty of the state is divided into two parts, namely surface navigation and underwater resources. According to the relevant international law, the sovereignty of the territorial sea of each State is the territorial sea of 12 nautical miles outward along the land baseline. Within the 12-24 nautical mile Van Lu Cha area, it is called the adjacent zone, and the state only has the power to administer the sea.
The 200-nautical-mile extension beyond the baseline on the road is the exclusive economic zone, in which the State has rights over marine resources. Since the ocean distance between many countries is less than 200 nautical miles, there are many conflicts between countries along the Qiaohai Sea over maritime sovereignty or maritime rights and interests.

Reason 1: China is a lot bigger.
The main controversy comes from the fact that there is no universally recognized norm for this for example, the version says that the rights of Japan and China in the East China Sea The so-called two national borders, and there are historical reasons There is ancient history, many of which are left over from the expansion of colonialism.
Reason 2 China is rising day by day, a country is rising at such a fast speed, and it is different from the four tigers, China is a big country, which will inevitably have an impact on the current international political and economic structure, and the surrounding countries have adapted to the current world pattern, and the United States is a superpower, etc., so they don't know enough about China and are afraid of this big country, saying that the South China Sea Islands are close to Vietnam and the Philippines, and this is the reason for finding that it is China's territory from history and even from the continental structure.
Reason 3: Energy issues are becoming more and more important Many of the disputed countries around China are still large countries with large populations and small resources, such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Japan.
Reason 4 The United States provokes from it Reason 4

Simple question, look at it simply, I parked the car in front of your house and said that the yard in front of your house and the street connected to it are all my things, and you are not allowed to use it without my permission, do you think we can not have a conflict?
First of all, many of our territorial waters, especially those in the South China Sea, are at the doorsteps of other countries, and the fishing boats of the Philippines and Vietnam will sail to China's territorial waters without the engine heating up, and the fishing nets will become an international conflict if they are far away. Moreover, before the liberation, the South China Sea was a piece of the high seas, and the surrounding small countries were still colonies, so naturally there was no such thing as territorial waters. China has drawn its territorial waters to its doorstep, so it is desperately looking for China to live in space, but the world has always been a big fist.
As for the East China Sea and the North Sea, the division is relatively clear, because of the existence of the Soviet Union, Japan and other powerful countries, so the natural division is relatively clear, what is not clear is the exclusive economic zone, the economic exclusive because the scope of the division is very large, according to the regulations to many countries overlap, everyone wants to make more money, natural conflicts are also constant.
The territorial issue on the ocean, the Diaoyu Dao is a legacy of the war, the Diaoyu Dao between China and Japan and the Kashmir between India and Pakistan have the same effect, and the Scarborough Shoal or something is purely disgusting to the Philippines, if we are not the five permanent members, Scarborough Shoal will not even be a reef, a reef that is in the water for more than half a year can be called an island.

Causes of China's maritime disputes.
1. Historical reasons: The Potsdam-Yalta system formed in World War II is the basis of today's world political relations and the basis for the delimitation of the territorial and maritime boundaries of most countries in East Asia. The demarcation of China's borders with neighboring countries is also based on a series of announcements in this system.
According to the Potsdam Proclamation, China was to recover all the territories occupied by Japan since 1895. Therefore, Taiwan and the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, and Xisha and Nansha in the South China Sea are all territories belonging to China. However, after the end of World War II, the capitalist camp led by the United States occupied the Diaoyu Islands for a long time out of the need to blockade and contain communist China, and later transferred them to Japan, laying the groundwork for today's East China Sea dispute.
Later, it instigated Southeast Asian countries to be hostile to China, prompting them to invade and occupy China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea. Japan, on the other hand, hopes to break through the Yalta system and get rid of the shadow of a defeated country by continuing to occupy the Diaoyu Islands, which China seized during World War II.
2. Neighboring countries' covetousness of resources: China's coastal continental shelf is rich in oil and natural gas resources, which will inevitably be coveted by neighboring countries in today's energy shortage. The South China Sea is rich in fishery resources, struvite and oil and gas resources, and is also a strategic artery of great strategic significance.
Therefore, it is not surprising that under the impetus of economic interests, neighboring countries have carved up China's continental shelf, economic zones, and even overt islands in the name of international maritime regulations.
3. China's long-standing disregard for maritime rights and interests is also the reason for the heated maritime rights and interests disputes with neighboring countries at this stage. Since our country is a traditional continental country, it does not attach much importance to the ocean. As a result of the constant internal political struggles, sovereignty has not been effectively exercised after the declaration of territorial waters in our country.
As a result, many islands in the South China Sea have been secretly occupied by Southeast Asian countries. After the reform and opening up, in order to have a peaceful international environment, China announced that it would "shelve disputes and jointly develop" the territorial sea dispute, and failed to recover the occupied islands in a timely manner, which is also one of the reasons for the passive situation.
In order to snatch marine resources. They have a geographical advantage in these countries, and if you look at these small countries, as long as they have a little strength or a backing country behind them, they dare to call out. This is because they feel that China is weak and peace-loving. >>>More

The Air Force now has 200 Su-27SKs, more than 350 J-10s, and about 300 J-11s and improved ones, with a total of more than 700 J-8 and J-7, and the second in the world in terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness, but China's Air Force lacks tankers and large transport aircraft, and in this respect it lags behind the United States, Russia, and is slightly better than France, Britain, etc., and the number of third-generation aircraft is the second in the world.
Because Vietnam shares a border with China, and Vietnam has a sharp decrease in men due to the war, and there are more women, and the ratio of men and women in the country is very unbalanced, so many Chinese like to find Vietnamese brides.
What is China's environment like today? Experts give examples from all sides to understand the situation.
