Abstract

The South China Sea is a geopolitically, strategically, and economically significant
region marked by territorial disputes, vital trade routes, and abundant resources.
China’s assertive actions and rapid growth have heightened tensions, drawing the US
into the dispute. The US has become more involved due to China’s assertive actions and
rapid economic growth. This research explores factors and changing tactics influencing
the conflict by discussing and analyzing the complex nature of the South China Sea, its
historical context, and the US’s changing role in it. The US strategy in the region and
China’s role as a growing regional power are essential concerns that must be
addressed. China’s assertiveness has raised global concern, which could affect trade
routes and regional stability. This study thoroughly examines this crucial geopolitical
hotspot and sheds light on the shifting dynamics.
