Abstract
The South China Sea dispute is a complex issue involving China, the Philippines, and Southeast Asian countries. It primarily revolves around the question of sovereignty in the Nansha Islands. Addressing the complex matters in this region requires the use of peaceful dialogue and consultation as the main approach. Adopting principles of openness, transparency, inclusivity, and fostering trust and cooperation are essential. This article presents a thorough analysis of China, discussing three strategies: adapting ocean strategies, avoiding military conflicts, and using appropriate power as guidance in the current situation.
