Summary/Abstract |
In recent years, the maritime militia and their activities in the South China Sea have attracted mounting attention from the international community. To date, only China and Vietnam have established rules relating to maritime militia. The maritime militia systems in both China and Vietnam result from national traditional militia systems and are extended reflections of the “People’s War” ideology in the field of modern defense. They are similar in aspects such as their definitions and nature, type of activities and scope, and leadership. Also, both militias play an affiliated role in their protection of maritime rights and military systems. Nonetheless, there are distinct differences between the legislation of maritime militia in China and Vietnam, particularly in relation to the political role they play, welfare and treatment, and punishment mechanisms. Through the comparison of the legislation on maritime militia in China and Vietnam, this article aims to define the legal status of maritime militia and to propose approaches to improving China’s legislation on maritime militia.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper aims to explore the coordination among China’s various maritime actors in the South China Sea (SCS). Since around 2009, China has reinforced its maritime territorial claims in the SCS and has taken coercive measures, including harassing other countries’ vessels and using administrative tools to expand its effective control over disputed islands. One important question is whether China’s tactics are based on a well-coordinated plan or are the unintended consequence of competition and self-interest among the various agencies. This paper shows that, firstly, organisational coordination between these agencies is improving, secondly, that the PLA has a salient role in the operation, and lastly, that the long term trend is important. The paper implies that long-term aspirations are coalescing into more concrete plans under the strong leadership of Xi Jinping.
