The law gives police in the island province of Hainan the right to “board, seize, and expel foreign ships illegally entering the province's sea areas.” The Chinese regime says it's preventing foreign vessels from landing on disputed islands, damaging coastal defense facilities and “carrying out publicity campaigns that may threaten national security.” The South China Sea has vast reserves of oil and gas, and contains some of the world's busiest shipping lanes Continue reading

The diplomatic failure resulted as the summit’s chair, Cambodia, refused to include several paragraphs in the draft statement that highlighted recent run-ins at the Scarborough Shoal, which is part of the Spratlys.
