Why the South China Sea is turning more turbulent
A US-China military rivalry may be behind China's recent
aggressiveness in the South China Sea. On Sunday, Vietnam claims China
cut the underwater cables of one of its survey ships.

Do Van Hau, of state oil and gas group Petrovietnam, speaks during a
news conference in Hanoi May 29. Vietnam accused China on Sunday of
increasing regional tensions and said its navy would do everything
necessary to protect its territorial integrity after Chinese patrol
boats "interfered with" a Vietnamese oil and gas survey ship in the
South China Sea.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Nearly a year after the US stepped into a simmering dispute between
China and smaller countries in the region over potentially oil-rich
islands in the South China Sea, tensions are rising again.

Since March, both Vietnam and the Philippines have accused Chinese
forces of aggressive acts in disputed areas. Military experts say
China’s sustained military buildup enables it to project more naval
power in an oceanic region where the US Navy has long held sway. US
Defense Secretary Robert Gates was due to meet Friday with his Chinese
counterpart at a security summit in Singapore. “We are not trying to
hold China down,” he told reporters Thursday.

Prior to the recent tension, however, analysts say China had begun to
dial down its behavior and renew diplomatic efforts to win over its
neighbors. The Chinese charm offensive began soon after Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton used a regional security forum in Vietnam last
July to stake out the US strategic interest in the South China Sea and
offer to mediate peace talks.

While this offer hasn’t been taken up, the US intervention prompted
Beijing to “recalibrate” its stance, says Susan Shirk, a former US
diplomat and China expert who runs the Institute on Global Conflict
and Cooperation at the University of California in San Diego. As a
rising military power, China wants to avoid a pro-US tilt in the
region. “This recalibration is about trying to get back to a more
pragmatic and cooperative approach that China has, by and large,
pursued since the 1990s,” she says.

A regional flashpoint

But regional governments have made scant progress on resolving
overlapping claims on two island chains. The Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed a broad code of conduct with China in
2002 as a way to calm tensions. But subsequent talks to agree on the
rules have broken down amid criticism that ASEAN is too divided to
act. Asian diplomats say China has tried to pick off weaker countries
and head off a firm joint position on the South China Sea. Last year,
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said “internationalizing” the
issue would only make it harder to solve.

Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said that Indonesia, the
current chair of ASEAN, wanted to firm up the code of conduct by year-
end on an issue that posed a “real security threat” to the region. He
admitted that further delays would be a sign of failure. “Ten years
with a lack of [implementing] guidelines is a bit much,” he told a
security conference in Malaysia.
