Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the conditions, causes, manifestations, and prospects of US-China rivalry in the South China Sea. In the second decade of the 21st century, this body of water continues to be a hot spot. This "hotbed of tension" in Southeast Asia has simmered for decades at a low temperature, occasionally escalating into armed confrontation.
