China\u2019s unabated ambitions in the region grow ever larger, which has a direct and profound adverse influence upon regional stability. Chinese military vessels and fishing boats illegally encroach the territorial waters around Senkaku islands on a near daily basis, posing a serious menace to Japan. But the actions by the Chinese also present a clear and present danger to Vietnamese and Philippine maritime activities in the South China Sea as well. Such aggressive Chinese actions unquestionably threaten the vital sea lines of communication (SLOC) in East Asia. With this as the backdrop, this video explained what Beijing\u2019s grand strategic objectives in the maritime realm are as well as what the implications are for the other nations of the region. More importantly, the vide addressed what we can do to counter this fundamental threat to our core values.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 Four prominent China experts from Japan, the Philippines, United Kingdom, and the United States discussed China\u2019s motives and ambitions.
