Threats to Freedom of the Seas
Threats to Freedom of the Seas
China seeks to dominate their neighbors and control nearby seas, specifically the South China Sea (south of Taiwan, west of the Philippians)[map], the East China Sea (west of Japan)[map], and the Yellow Sea (between China and Korea)[map].
One-Third of all Global Maritime (Sea-based) Trade Travels through the South China Sea. In 2009, China claimed ownership to this vast area, well beyond its own borders, and placed itself in direct conflict with International Law and the rights of neighboring nations like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the Philippians, and Vietnam.
To assert China's claims, it has bullied and sought to dominate the area and neighbors through constant military threats using everything from fighter jets to Chinese Coast Guard military-type ships and patrol asserting undue authority, to military fleet maneuvers and training, to even using large-scale civilian 'militia' fishing fleets that do not fish.

Today, the concept of "freedom of the seas" can be found in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea under Article 87(1) which states: "the high seas are open to all states, whether coastal or land-locked". Article 87(1) (a) to (f) gives a non-exhaustive list of freedoms including navigation, overflight, the laying of submarine cables, building artificial islands, fishing and scientific research.
Additional Research: South China Sea (Islands), West Philippine Sea: includes parts of the South China Sea directly to the west of the Philippines in it's EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) which includes the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal.

in the South China Sea
The West Philippine Sea includes parts of the South China Sea directly to the west of the Philippines in it's EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) which includes the Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal. In 2012, China illegally snatched control of the Scarborough Shoals from the Philippines though the building of man-made islands atop coral reefs - also constructing runways and military installations on them. China maintains a heavy presence of Chinese civilian militia boats and Chinese Coast Guard ships in these areas which push out, dominate, and harass Philippine ships.
