STORIES.
Whose Sea is it anyway?
Power and the Future of the South China Sea
Available today on Spotify and GLOBAL.
On STORIES this month:
The South China Sea is becoming the world’s most consequential stress test, and everyone is claiming to be in the right. In this episode, we explore how overlapping territorial claims, strategic chokepoints, and competing interpretations of international law are turning a vital economic corridor into a flashpoint for confrontation. From Manila and Hanoi to Beijing and Washington, tensions are rising as patrols intensify, alliances tighten, and the rules based order is tested at sea. The question looms: in a contested ocean that powers global trade, whose is it anyway, and who gets to decide?

A SNEAK PEAK ON THE DECEMBER EPISODE
Coming up, a maritime dispute that has outgrown the map. We trace how rival claims and competing legal narratives collide with the realities of trade, security, and power projection, and why everyday moves at sea can trigger global consequences. Then we bring it back to the core question at the heart of the tension. When rules, history, and force all point in different directions, who decides what is legitimate in the South China Sea.
