\u00a0 \u00a0 The Research Institute for Peace and Security (RIPS) is pleased to host this webinar that will discuss in-depth the current security situation in the Western Pacific. 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 webinar will seek to explain 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 webinar will seek to address what we can do to counter this fundamental threat to our core values.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Four prominent China experts from Japan, the Philippines, United Kingdom, and the United States will discuss China\u2019s motives and ambitions. These experts are, in order of speaking appearance, Professor\u00a0<\/span>Yasuhiro Matsuda<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, The University of Tokyo, Professor\u00a0<\/span>Renato De Castro<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of the De La Salle University in Manila, Dr.\u00a0<\/span>Alessio Patalano<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of the King\u2019s College London, and Ms.\u00a0<\/span>Bonnie Glaser<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC. Professor\u00a0<\/span>Tosh Minohara<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of Kobe University and Chairman of the Research Institute of Indo-Pacific Affairs (RIIPA) will moderate this session.<\/p>\n
