The South China Sea dispute is a territorial conflict involving countries in Southeast Asia and China. It first began when China claimed the South China Sea in 1947, until other countries followed suit over baseless claims to their own territories. Tensions reached a new level when the Philippines took the dispute to a permanent arbitration court in Deng Hang, Netherlands, in 2013.

Historically, Indonesia and ASEAN have tried diplomacy to resolve this case before it goes to court. Here are some of the impacts that have occurred due to the South China Sea conflict:
