For many other interested countries, Reuters brings welcome news. But will it happen?

Xi seems to be playing a clever game with the United States, and the White House appears uncertain about how to respond.

The Philippines is reopening an old U.S. base that was once one of the largest naval bases in the world. Now, thanks to a 2014 agreement, the U.S. just might get to use it too. China, take note.

The Philippines case against Chinese territorial aggression is finally about to be heard in The Hague. But it’s power, not international law, that’s likely to determine how this all shakes out.

ASEAN failed to come to any sort of agreement over the simmering South China Sea dispute between Vietnam and China. How long will China’s divide-and-conquer strategy keep paying dividends?
