A trend study on the uniformity of ASEAN members regarding the South China Sea

The issue of South China Sea is one of the hottest international
disputes in South East Asia due its location amid the connection between
Southeast Asia to Northeast Asia and the rich resources. The undecided
maritime delimitation makes the situation more complicated. Because
each one of the ASEAN Claims has her own consideration of the interest,
their claims and policies confront from each other's, and no consensus
has been reached. However, encountering the fact that China proclaimed
the entire region of South China Sea, ASEAN Claims attempt to unit
themselves to deal with the threat, to negotiate the issue of South China
Sea with China as a whole, and attempt to internationalize the issue.
Thus, this paper is aimed to realize under what circumstance, ASEAN
Claims will tend to unite in the issue of South China Sea, or vise versa,
in what circumstance makes ASEAN Claims tend to collapse. According to
the "Balance of Threat," China's threat to South China Sea affairs leads
the changing of the unity of ASEAN Claims directly, and influences the
consistency of South China Sea's policy. Besides the United States, the
other side of the balance of the two counter powers, the treat brought
by China in South China Sea affairs is the key to influence the South
China Sea policy consistency of ASEAN Claims. "South China Sea Core
interest" is one of match instance.
