Contested ownership of islands/resource rich waters. China is cool and good, but it's not as if everything they do is above critique. Critical support, but I understand why nearby countries dislike China's tactics for controlling the oceans in the area.
As someone from there, I can say quite confidently that it's not really about 'South China Sea Imperialism' and just the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, over which the PRC has a perfectly reasonable claim.
Well, yes, as far as those particular islands are concerned. But the dispute has to do with fishing and resource exploitation more broadly to my understanding, right? The claimed waters in that area are a general fucking mess to look at with all the contradictory claims.
