The South China Sea has been a performance stage of a few countries and the external powers behind them for quite a period. The oil prospecting and development projects that have been launched successively, the well-targeted joint island-landing military drill and intense diplomatic coordination have made the big drama noisier.
Without doubt, this drama is played for China to watch, though it will not be able to force a great power to compromise its principle and standpoint. In their opinion, the countermeasures China will take will further “magnify” China's “impact and threat” to the outside world, and therefore, the big net containing the rise of China will be tighter and stronger.
This drama is the internationalization of the South China Sea issue. In the depth of their hearts, they like the phrase “the internationalization of the South China Sea issue.” It is simple but has some modern color of global governance, and even has the sense of calling for the world to protect a small country from being bullied by a big country.
Small waves will not capsize the big diplomatic boat of China
A just cause gains great support, an unjust one gains little. China will not have many enemies as it loves peace and shares the development opportunity sincerely with the world. In the complicated external environment, it is not easy for China to walk from the edge to the center of the international stage. However, China is never narrow-minded or short-sighted. Those who are talking about the “pressures” and “a difficult situation” China is facing actually think too much.
