From territorial disputes to resource competition and major-power rivalry, tensions at sea are on the rise worldwide. But conflict is not the only option. In many regions, countries have found practical ways to manage differences, shelve disputes, and pursue peaceful coexistence through dialogue and cooperation. In part one of our special series, "Managing Maritime Disputes: Regional Practices and International Experience," filmed in Sanya, Hainan Province, we take a closer look at real-world examples that show how maritime disputes can be handled constructively. Watch to find out. #MaritimeSecurity #SouthChinaSea #GlobalGovernance #InternationalLaw
