Those shifts are as followed: measures enhanced by Vietnam and Philippines to struggle for interests of South China Sea; China’s un-sustaining policy altered to be more positive; America’s turning to support Vietnam and Philippines; ASEAN’s balance and outside power’s active intervention. Therefore, those factors steady or not will influence the condition of South China Sea in the future, and the tendency to withstand China will last a long time.
