China has been claiming its right over most of the South China Sea through the 'Nine-Dash Line'. In the last few years, along with the development in the technical and economic field, China has also made a significant increase in its military power and has been using it to expand its border in the region. This is also because the South China Sea is seen as a great storehouse of marine biodiversity as well as mineral oil and natural gas. There should be an increase in collective global efforts in forums such as the United Nations and ASEAN to control China's aggressive military activities in the South China Sea.
