China Sea
The China Sea, often called the South China Sea, is a large, busy body of water in Southeast Asia. It covers about 3.5 million square kilometers and connects to the Pacific Ocean. Several countries, including China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, border the sea and claim parts of it. The area is rich in fish, oil, and gas resources, making it economically important. It also serves as a major shipping route for global trade. Territorial disputes and strategic interests have led to tensions among nations, making the region both geopolitically significant and complex.
