Geopolitical Risk Series: China’s Maritime Territorial Disputes
The current dynamics in the South China Sea have created tensions and pose a risk of potential future conflict or crisis. In Fall 2023, China released its new official map ahead of the ASEAN Summit in Indonesia which now shows a 10-dash line, leading to official protest from Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other countries in the region. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the buildup of Chinese military bases on reclaimed islands and intercepting of fishing boats and other vessels in disputed waters, and the US and its allies continue to conduct freedom of navigation operations (FONOPs). What do these developments and the evolving situation in the South China Sea mean for overall regional stability?
Join USCBC on February 28, 2024 at 8:30 am (US ET) / 9:30 pm (Beijing) as we host Admiral Harry Harris (Ret.), 24th Commander of the US Pacific Command and former US Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Jim Loi, Partner and Chief Operating Officer at The Asia Group, and Gregory Poling, Senior Fellow and Director of the Southeast Asia Program and Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, to discuss the dynamics in the South China Sea and the Initiative’s mapping and tracking of islands and maritime claims made by other countries in the region.
This event is part of USCBC's Navigating Geopolitical Risks in a Changing World Order series to help member companies navigate geopolitical risks and evolving dynamics in the US-China relationship that are relevant to their businesses in the United States, China, and globally.
