As seabed resources are often seen as the source of conflicts in disputed waters, joint exploration and development between the disputing countries is often proposed as a win-win solution or at least a confidence-building measure.
However, Dr. Yoichiro Sato of the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, asserts that actual practices in South and East China Seas reveal that joint exploration and development proposals are not only economically motivated, but also made with intentions to set a legal precedence to advance the country’s claim to the disputed water. As such, they too are the manifestations of the conflicts, rather than solutions to the conflicts.
Earlier, China has sought a joint exploration with the Philippines as “a practical approach in resolving the maritime dispute”. But the Philippines has taken a guarded approach to the proposal as a joint exploration on the contested waters could just be a legal and diplomatic trap.
