碩士 / 國防大學 / 中共軍事事務研究所 / 107 / From the perspective of the world map, it can be found that the South China Sea has important geostrategic value. It’s not only a key area connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, but also Chinas foundation from land power country to marine powers.
The reason why the South China Sea has become China’s core interest, in addition to territorial sovereignty declaration and rich resources, more important is the function of the sea line of communication(SLOC) and its impact on Chinas military strategy, therefore, the South China Sea and the island have always been the objects of competition.
Since 2014, China has used its self-designed dredgers to artificial land at seven island reefs such as the Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratly Islands at amazing efficiency, forming a giant artificial island. In recent years, in addition to providing civilian demand on the island, it has continued to strengthen military construction such as runways, ports and radar communication systems. Such behavior not only poses a threat to neighboring countries, but also causes opposition from the U.S. and other countries that have interests in the South China Sea. Although China emphasize sovereignty over the Spratly Islands and the South China Sea, however, after the militarization of the island reef, it will change the political, military and pattern of the South China Sea.
“The Geography of the Peace” is the geostrategic literature of American geopolitical scholar Nicholas Spykman, the literature analyzes how geography affects foreign policy and military strategy. This study will analyze the role of the South China Sea in Chinas territorial sovereignty, economy, trade, diplomacy and military from "Rimland Theory" And the impact of China’s reclamation and militarization on this basis. At the same time, it analyzes the key influence of military presence, forward base and ocean transportation on Chinas development and the future strategic layout of the South China Sea.
