As the committee started, China made clear that they want modification within international law and wants to work together and mentions that the United Nations Security Council should get involved, and does not want peace within the South China Sea if it means a possible economic downfall.
Germany wants to get more involved in solving the solutions, working with Vietnam and make a security pact with them.
Japan believes that China does not want the problem solved in a diplomatic way, since China constantly breaks international laws.
Although a lot of states did not agree to negotiation such as China, Taiwan believes that it is the best for economic issues regarding the South China Sea, and that countries should make their claim in the nine-dash line. Regarding the nine-dash line, China claims that no borders were crossed by the military with the artificial islands, but wants to negotiate with countries that have overlapping territory. China does not want to stop using military reinforcement, since they believe the nine-dash line agreement was not consensual and all they said in the arbitration court shall not be taken in consideration.
After an interview with the delegation of Brunei, who has close relations with China, we discovered their stance is finding peace and making sure that the resolution protects and respects all current laws, and sanctioning those that break them, to avoid conflict and give nations rightfully owned territory.
The European Union intervened, bringing attention that the topics discussed are not appropriate to the topic, that sanctions and solutions should be brought up. As a follow-up, a moderated caucus on the topic of Resource Management has taken place.
When it comes to resource management, China believes that the best way to approach it is replicating the model of what is happening in the northern sea, sharing the fish, petrol and gas within nations.
China wants to draw precise borders and discuss the economic situation to further expand the variety of solutions and make sure that each state is satisfied with the outcome of the resolution.
South Korea stands with Brunei and other nations on the idea of sanctions and demilitarization,the teams are clearly separated, and so far the future of the debate is unpredictable.
The delegations are still trying to take China’s land, artificial islands, and are still wrongfully attacking them with false accusations of damaging the economic status of countries that share borders with the South China sea. France has been helpful in finding a middle ground, proposing a parliamentary inquiry that China should stop building artificial islands.
Japan is insisting that drones and demilitarization of artificial islands is still needed, although China is just protecting their country from Vietnam's threats. Australia thankfully is on China’s side, agreeing that defining borders to assure stability and safety.
The delegate of Japan proposed sanctions, although mentioned that China's reaction is unpredictable and did NOT mention the type of sanctions that should be imposed. although Germany proposed military sanctions, due to the fact that economic and financial sanctions could possibly affect the economy of other countries. Indonesia decided that neither will be useful, China will not like the sanctions, and a better way to approach the topic is setting strict sanctions for ANY state that breaks international laws and that have military forces that become aggressive.
The conflict has been from the start and still is extremely aggressive with propaganda from states ACCUSING and TEARING DOWN The People's Republic of China, and the press of the “American Dream” is trying to make it seem like this is a peaceful debate, but this conflict has economy, territory, security, and lives on the line.
Laos has decided that they shall remain neutral in the situation and wants the parties involved to be compliant, and is supportive of the idea of creating a new organization to support the financial implications of Asian countries for the solutions brought up by some of the delegations.
The UK mentioned their willingness to support 50% of the costs to make sure there are enough drones to keep the South China Sea properly monitored.
Slowly but surely, solutions in favor of China will rise.
