Dana R. Dillon is Senior Policy Analyst for Southeast Asia in the Asian Studies Center at The Heritage Foundation. Heightened U.S. participation in resolving the maritime border dispute would encourage the smaller countries with maritime borders in the South China Sea and at the same time discourage China from further attempts to impose its will unilaterally. Substantive solutions to the border dispute, however, will require all claimant countries to negotiate in good faith and accept compromises in their most controversial claims.To protect freedom of navigation, the Administration must convince the countries in the region that continued anarchy in the South China Sea is not in their interests either. All claimant countries must demonstrate their willingness to protect their own long-term interests by seeking peaceful solutions to the border dispute.
