What is the significance of South China Sea to China?
Are there any other countries involved in the disputes?
Yes, there are several other countries that have interests in the South China Sea. The United States, for example, has strategic and economic interests in the region, and has been involved in testing China's territorial claims by conducting "freedom of navigation" operations in the South China Sea. Other countries, such as Japan and Australia, have also expressed concern about China's assertive actions in the region, and have called for a peaceful resolution to the disputes.
