Abstract

As one of China’s most intricate territorial dispute, the South China Sea dispute has sufficiently consumed significant amount of Chinese leaders’ attention in Beijing. This paper reveals that China exerts signaling strategy in its crisis bargaining over the South China Sea dispute. This strategy contains reassurance as positive signal through offering negotiation and appearing self-restraint and of negative signal by means of escalatory acts and verbal threats. China’s crisis bargaining in the South China Sea dispute aims to preserve crisis stability: a stabilized condition after escalation in which neither further escalation nor near-distant resolution is in order. From the yearly basis analysis in the four-year span study, China’s longing for crisis stability fits into its conduct in crisis bargaining with Southeast Asian states.

Abstract

The rise of China has become a catchword to define China’s current position in the international system. China’s increasing power comes with responsibility. Continuing Hu Jintao’s peaceful development, Xi Jinping is committed to realising China’s responsibility as a great power. Concurrently, Xi sets out a neighbourhood diplomacy that underlines the importance of bringing development and prosperity to neighbouring states. This paper aims to investigate the way China realise the twin goals of peaceful development. The South China Sea (SCS) disputes involving China and four neighbouring Southeast Asian states serves as a case study. It is found that China's assertiveness, manifested in continued escalations and dragged-on negotiations on the Code of Conduct (COC), does not bode well for China’s peaceful development. In other words, China is hardly a responsible great power or a good neighbour in its handling of the SCS issue.

Abstract

For the past two decades, disputes between the Philippines and China over the South China Sea (SCS) have experienced continuous escalation. Benigno Aquino III filed an arbitration case against China. This legal success was later overturned by Rodrigo Duterte in exchange for closer relations with China. However, his decision did not cease hostility in the SCS. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. then brought the Philippines back on legal track and steered the country closer to the United States, which further heightened tensions. Built on this background, this article intends to explain the unceasing escalation in the SCS using Positioning Theory (PT). This study finds that both Manila and Beijing used moral positioning under two major themes: maintenance of regional peace and stability and adherence to the rule of law. Positioned as a responsible member of the international community, each side claimed to be the right one while denigrating the other. Such a position was manifested through storylines, and as they unfolded, the social meaning behind moral positioning was revealed. Through the positioning triad―storylines, position, and social meaning―the Philippines and China co-constructed the social realities of the SCS. That neither side acknowledged the other’s positioning made the conflict over the SCS intractable.
