Wave for the future

China Daily  

STARLET WANG/FOR CHINA DAILY China and ASEAN countries should maintain positive interactions on the South China Sea issue Relations between China and the Philippines have become increasingly tense because of the strengthening of the alliance between the United States and the Philippines and the shift in the South China Sea policy of the Ferdinand Marcos Jr administration. The South China Sea issue remains a highly sensitive issue for China and ASEAN claimant states. On the other hand, ASEAN claimant states continue their dual approach to the South China Sea issue, maintaining consultations and dialogues with China while also attempting to take advantage of the opportunity of increased involvement by major powers in the South China Sea affairs, as well as the time window before the Code of Conduct is reached to consolidate and expand their own interests. The interaction between China and ASEAN claimant states on the South China Sea issue is a long-term and complex process. China and the ASEAN claimant states should focus on their common interests and peace and stability in the South China Sea, and maintain positive interactions on the South China Sea issue.
