Territorial tensions in the South China Sea, where China faces off against several Southeast Asian nations, could escalate into conflict and impact vital trade routes, according to experts. Chinese assertiveness has increased in recent years, leading to incidents at sea with vessels from the Philippines and other countries. With about 24% of global maritime trade flowing through these waters and significant undiscovered resources at stake, the potential for military confrontation involving the U.S. remains a serious concern, as both nations navigate complex territorial claims and historical disputes.
