[Reporter Li] since April provoked Huangyan Island incident in the Philippines, the South China Sea, it is no longer a “calm” the importance of the South China Sea, it seems what is referred to unprecedented heights, all forces have to vote here The eyes, the South China Sea has become the main battlefield of the great power game. Even there is a saying “Who led the South China Sea, will be the last to dominate the entire world”. A U.S. expert to put forward different views, said the influence of the South China Sea is actually exaggerated.

According to the Hong Kong Central Evaluation Agency reported on August 23, the U.S. Naval War College Strategic Analysis experts Holmes (James Holmes) published an article in the the Japanese diplomats magazine website said the status and influence of the South China Sea has been exaggerated , the South China Sea can not take on such an important strategic position in the heart. He also suggested that U.S. policy makers in the development of the Asia-Pacific strategy to be extra cautious and think twice.

The Indian Ocean has also accused who can control it can rule the entire world in the 21st century. If people are interested in the South China Sea advocating this logic, then the region is likely to become a whirlpool of conflict, regardless of whether it is reasonable to this logic.

The article also said that the decision makers, strategists and ordinary citizens must accept this attractive theory “and put it into practice carefully before thinking. Cautious to whom, at your peril. ”
