Asia-Pacific: The New Powder Keg | ENDEVR Documentary

In the South China Sea and the Pacific, the Chinese Communist Party has been pursuing a strategy to undermine American influence for the past decade. Relying on the active participation of maritime militias - fishermen trained by the military - China is creating a grey area between war and peace that destabilizes both its neighbors and the world's leading military power. As soon as he came to power in 2012, Xi Jining clearly stated his ambition for a national renaissance. He will combine this with the construction of a powerful army and a certain vision of Chinese territory, which includes the reunification of Taiwan. In this quest, control of the oceans has become a crucial issue, and America an obstacle.

It is ridiculous for the China expert to say that 3 chinese warships sailed into Sydney harbour without anyone knowing.Surely the PM knows the 3 warships are making a visit and the Ministry of Defence of Australia must have agreed to host them.This statement discredits anything he has to say in this programme .

Recap b

The South China Sea claim isn't something dreamt up by CCP though. At its founding ROC (now confined to Taiwan) it already claims the SCS with 11 dash line. That was back in 1911. As its political successor on mainland China it inherits the SCS claim.

Smaller vessels need to operate in those waters and in this case smaller submarines that are a lot more capable and quicker than normal ones. This is going to be a war at sea.

Bro I LOVE your documentaries, even if I don't always agree with your takes. They're always so comprehensive, up-to-date and modern. Your work with these documentaries highlighting modern phenomena is lightning fast but also utterly consistent, substantive, refined and excellent in quality! Thank you!!!!

What about the summer palace,maybe that its such an incident in their history that fuels a need for defence as well as the reasons explained in this video.but maybe everyone concerned today would do all a big favour and change the military strategy of solution into a peaceful form of policies.

3 warships just appeared in Sydney harbor, without warning. Too funny. Anglos never stop lying.

Excellent docu.

IMO, there are always two sides to the same story, depending on who narrates the story. How did you explain the Philippines took over an island belonging to Taiwan after the latter's coast fled due to a typhoon? Vietnamese was the first to build an artificial island, and Japan annexed Ryuku/Okinawa after the WW2?

It's so tiring this power games. The Earth doesnt belong to anybody. Belong to all humanity, animals,plants.

Thank you very much

Good hints

People who talk about china's militarization of man made islands should read the sifi book genesis (sorry can't recall author) and just think about the nuclear wasteland America created in the south pacific

Hope war will not happens ....but now everyone forecast it will happens. Like train moving to a Clift and no one can stop it.

Learn from history and choose the path of peace...

The philippine senator interviewed in this documentary is the one who had back door deals with China and allegedly sold the island to China.

The end of CCP comes soon than I thought.👍👍👍

No countries should impede an open ocean or sea by blocking peaceful movement of other countries.

“Leaders bound by any religion, naturally cling to a belief in regards to a materialistic manner of “what’s mine and what isn’t”…….Those who are not dictated by such principles, lead by a profound intellectual example and will monitor and resolve this future world conflict selflessly….” -ib🌬
