Report to Congress on South China Sea Disputes​

The following is the Aug. 25, 2026, Congressional Research Service report, China Primer: South China Sea Disputes.

From the Report​

Multiple Asian governments assert sovereignty over rocks, reefs, and other geographic features in the heavily trafficked South China Sea (SCS), with the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) arguably making the most assertive claims. While United States makes no territorial claim in the SCS and takes no position on sovereignty over any of the geographic features in the SCS, U.S. officials have long urged that disputes be settled without coercion and on the basis of international law. Separate from the sovereignty disputes, the governments of the United States, China, and other countries disagree over what rights international law grants foreign militaries to fly, sail, and operate in a country’s territorial sea or exclusive economic zone (EEZ). For more than a decade, some Members have examined China’s efforts to use coercion and intimidation to increase its control over the SCS and have passed legislation aimed at improving the ability of the United States and its partners to protect their interests.
