要旨/Abstract | What are China’s objectives in the South China Sea? Most international analysis answers this question by focusing on the traditional concerns of Western governments and international relations theorists: strategic issues such as freedom of navigation, the balance of power and the rules-based international order. However, statements and documents from Chinese officials display a different set of priorities – the most important being territory. China approaches the disputes with a particular historical narrative. This narrative is at odds with historical evidence now available but still generates a potent sense of entitlement to the rocks, reefs and waters of the South China Sea. Resolving the disputes will require challenging this territorial narrative. |
