- Abstract
- Events in the Middle East and the crisis in Ukraine overshadowed the conflict in the South China Sea, which is now inflaming, now calming down. Anyway the developments in the Western part of the Asia- Pacific Region (APR) is becoming more and more dangerous for the world community. Already I noticed that the peak of disputes and contradictions occur in the area each year from April to September. Observers notice, that those 6 months of tension are regularly replaced by the same period of its easing. It is obvious that it’s in the interest of China to control the conflict rather then to inflate it to the global level. It would have been much better if the major players in the region have learned to follow the letter and spirit of international law in resolving their disputes.
