Over the past four months, China has been swept by the ‘Xi wave’, stimulating a tide of concerns for its neighbours and ardent observers. Xi’s 203-minute speech at the 19th Congress of the CCP, followed subsequently by the CCP’s announcement of dropping the term limits for president (in February 2018) clearly herald the dawn of a “new era” of politics and power for a more assertive China, under the leadership of President Xi.

One-third of the Globe consists of water. Water has been and continues to be a resource of the future. Water and the resources lying therein are rightfully claimed as geographic commons of the Globe. ‘Geographic Commons’ include all the resources that lie beneath the sea or to put it more precisely on the bed of international waters. When the resources on the land are getting exhausted then scramble for resources at sea is quite natural.

After the end of World War II, the US and Soviet Union emerged as the two super powers.

But all these are interrelated because the change in status quo leads to a series of actions one of which is involvement of a big power provoking its rival to involve and push up the diplomatic game in the domain of small powers whose interests are affected.
