The South China Sea: A Dangerous Ground

Authors

Henry J. Kenny

Abstract

While the focus of recent American security concerns in Asia has been on the Korean peninsula and, to a lesser extent, Taiwan, the first real test of post-Cold War American strategy in the region may be further south, in the South China Sea. There, during the past two years there have been nearly a dozen reported incidents in which armed vessels of Asian nations challenged each other in disputed waters.
