“…Beijing increased its naval incursions into Japanese territorial waters, such as in 2004, when a Han-class Chinese nuclear submarine passed submerged through Japanese waters. 30 After Koizumi stepped down in September 2006, the two countries enjoyed a brief period of improving relations-a so-called 'warm spring'. 31 The LDP, under leaders such as Shinzō Abe, sought to improve relations with China, including over history issues as well as earlier resource disputes.…”

“…In both cases, the Chinese government was willing to compromise and share fishery and hydrocarbon resources. As observed by Manicom (2014), China lost substantial areas of traditional fishing grounds due to the implementation of the bilateral fisheries agreements with Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. In his view, the conclusion of the 2008 consensus was partly a result of improved relations between the Chinese government and the Yasuo Fukuda administration.…”

“…The disagreement over boundary delimitation became a salient issue in 1996 when both China and Japan acceded to the UNCLOS and proposed different measures of delimiting their EEZs and continental shelves. In 2004, the dispute re-emerged with Japan's protest against one of China's drilling fields Chunxiao for its potential for siphoning oil from the Japanese side of the median line (Manicom, 2013). China argued that the oil field's location in the west of the median line is well within the Chinese waters.…”

What is the long-term impact of China’s territorial and maritime security policy in East Asia on regional security? To address this question, we compared China’s claims and actual policies related to the East China Sea and South China Sea and explored the motivations behind Beijing’s position and behaviour in the two disputes. More specifically, we examined a few interrelated issues: (a) similarities and differences in China’s claims in these two disputes from historical and legal perspectives, (b) China’s strategic and security calculations and its changing tactics in handing these two disputes in the past few years and (c) the major factors affecting China’s behaviour in the two disputes. Our conclusion is that China is unlikely to make any major concessions in the near future, and that regional security in East Asia will remain fraught with many uncertainties for a fairly long period of time.

Mainstream scholarship exploring the relationship between political conflict and bilateral trade has often been cast into a dichotomy between the realist and liberal schools of thought. We investigate the trade-conflict nexus in the context of the South China Sea dispute between China and the Philippines, focusing on the changes in Filipino exports to China after the Scarborough Shoal standoff from April 2012 to June 2016. This paper uses trade data from the China Customs Database and the Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDiD) estimator to quantitatively assess the negative treatment effect on Filipino exports to China from 2012 to 2016. Contrary to previous studies, we found no significant negative treatment effect in both the immediate aftermath of the conflict and the long run. This supports the predictions of liberal IR scholars that territorial dispute does not exert a significant disruptive effect on bilateral trade even as the conflict persists.
