I don’t think anyone is expecting China to cede her sovereign rights if the claims are legitimate.

I think everyone in the region is expecting China to make her claim in a manner that is peaceful and responsible.

Among the peaceful and responsible manners to make claim on her sovereign rights for example are :-

(1)   Direct negotiation

(2)   Sweetening deals – to throw in deals with mutual benefits

(3)   Joint development

(4)   International Courts for arbitration, mediation or justice administration

Etc.

By settling territorial claim in a peaceful and responsible manner – will in fact make the World look up to China as the rising Superpower that can bring Peace and Prosperity to the Asia-Pacific Region as well as to the World – staking her legitimate claim in a responsible manner not by force.

For eg. If 2 neighbors have dispute whereby one claim that the neighbor has erect fencing that eat into his land, the 2 neighbors can resolve the dispute in the following ways :-

Unwholesome ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-

(1)   Quarrel and argue loudly – and this will disturb the neighborhood

(2)   Fight it out – and start throwing things at one another – and hurt other neighbors or passerby with flying objects

(3)   Call their family members, friends, relatives to outnumber one another in a big fight – and other neighbors and passerby also caught in the big fight and got injured

(4)   Use weapons such as iron bar, knives or even guns to shoot at one another or even throw firebombs at one another– and other neighbors and passerby also get injured or even kick the buckets and both the houses got burned down.

 

Wholesome, peaceful and responsible ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” :-

(1)   direct talk and negotiate in a peaceful manner to resolve the dispute

(2)   call a 3^rd party – eg. Police, counsellor or someone where both can trust to settle the dispute in a rational, logical and adult manner – with “give and take”.

(3)   Both neighbors subject themselves to Court Arbitration process – by producing documents to support their claim and honour the Court Judgement.

Notice that the Wholesome, peaceful and responsible ways to resolve the “territorial dispute” will produce a much better outcomes without causing bloodshed and chaos to the neighborhood – and both neighbors will win respect by the whole neighborhood.
