Senior Research Associate, MP-IDSA, Dr. Udai Bhanu Singh’s article on South China Sea, titled ‘South China Sea Conflict Continues during the COVID Pandemic’ has been published in Commonwealth News.com on May 02, 2020.
The South China Sea dispute has persisted since last century and it is yet to find a solution. The conflict has its roots in a fight over resources and differences over sovereignty. 2020 had an optimistic begining but the Covid-19 upset all calculations. China has chosen to use this adversity to make gains in the South China Sea. This has implications for China’s neighbours especialy Vietnam and other big powers like the US, Japan Australia and India, writes Dr. Singh.
