Abstract

The disputed area has an integral position in the game of great powers. Territorial disputes are the disagreement over the possession of territory between two or more political entities. They may occur anytime, causing tension to arise. Different actions and statements from each country will affect the future development of tensions. These kinds of tensions may affect countries, the future development of the local areas, and even people's lives. In recent years, tensions have grown over territorial disputes with China. Different political entities are trying to maintain their interests in the region. Dealing with such tensions will require the joint efforts of China, the United States, local and other countries. This dissertation will introduce the background of these disputed territories through historical events and current conditions, and find the causes of the tension in the disputed territories. This can help us better understand the relationship between these countries and increase our understanding of the region. The paper will also study solutions that benefit all parties, comparing their advantages and disadvantages, and analyze the effect of these solutions. Since peace is a common goal, avoiding war while safeguarding the interests of all parties is beneficial to the future development of all.
