AB - South China Sea conflict initially refers to a dispute over authority of attribution and delimitation of maritime boundaries between China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei for islands located in South China Sea. In other words, South China Sea conflict was a matter between countries directly concerned initially but not a matter between US and China. After Obama government inaugurated, US began to intervene in a matter of South China Sea conflict actively with implementation of strategy of ‘Pivot to Asia’ and worsened the conflict by explicitly supporting Vietnam and Philippines that are countries directly concerned. Conflict between China's aspiration to expand its influence on the islands located in South China Sea and US's strategy to check the expansion of influence of China underlies such dispute. There has been a conflict between US and China in the islands located in South China Sea recently. It is not too much say that a solution for the conflict depends on relations between US and China. This paper views the cause of military tension between US and China that appears in South China Sea as competition for having upper hand between US and China not simple military competition. This paper foresees the direction of South China Sea conflict by analyzing position and goal of policy on South China Sea stated by US and China and by analyzing a change in the nature of South China Sea conflict depending on a change in relations between US and China.
