    South China Sea Dispute

    South China Sea Dispute
  • The South China Sea dispute concerns the territory and sovereignty of ocean areas and strategically located island chains, Paracel and Spratly, that several countries claim in whole or in part.

    China's claims rest on a 'nine-dash line' which the Hague recently invalidated by ruling that there is no legal basis to it.

    Sino-Russian naval exercises come at a tense time in these contested waters.

  • Information

    What is the 'nine-dash line'?

  • China's claims to the South China Sea is based on the 'nine-dash line' that was drawn in 1948 by the Republic of China. China has never articulated what the 'nine-dash line' actually means and the ambiguity has led to range of interpretations.

  • Background

    Sino-Russian Ties

    Sino-Russian Ties
    Credits:
  • Sino-Russian ties have been significant for years but they were strengthened when sanctions were imposed on Russia in 2014 post Crimea's annexation.

    The US decision to install a High-Altitude Missile system in South Korea despite opposition from Russia and China brought them closer.

    Over the last decade, China in concert with Russia used its veto power at the UN 6 times challenging Western leadership.

  • Parameters

    Comprehensive Strategic Partnership

    Credits:
  • China conducts counter-terrorism exercises with Russia on an annual basis.

    The joint military exercises were recently held in September 2016. This was the seventh joint naval drill conducted by China and Russia since 2005.

    The two countries also participate in trilateral and multilateral exercises under Shanghai Cooperation Organization to improve their tactical and operational capabilities.
