During the Hu Jintao''s Period, China’s economy rose and ranked 2nd in global economy. With the significant rising of national power and international status, China’s influence in South China Sea is becoming stronger. In order to maintain territorial integrity and sovereign independence, China has changed its South China Sea policies and behaviors.
This paper analyzes China’s policies about South China Sea during the Hu Jintao''s Period through politics, foreign policies, economy and military, and finds out how the policies influence other countries inside and outside the region. The paper uses literature analysis and reviews many papers, written by researchers of different nationalities, such as Taiwan, China, United States and Japan.
The results show that China rose quickly during Hu administration. Therefore, China had the huge need of resources, so it expanded outside. That caused the neighboring countries insecurity. With China rising, the conflict events between China and neighboring countries were getting more and more, especially for those countries who also claimed the sovereignty in South China Sea. So those countries tried to cooperate with other powers outside the region to strive for the maximum interests about South China Sea.
In order to maintain territorial integrity and sovereign independence, China adopted a series of policies, including foreign policies, politics, economy, military and international law. In 2010, China claimed a ‘‘Core Interest’’ in the South China Sea and its behaviors, like law enforcement and regulations, showed that China had indisputable sovereignty. It is obvious that China becomes assertive through expending maritime power. In fact, China’s new regional strategy is “Carrot and Stick” and uses it to contest with neighboring countries who also claimed the sovereignty.
