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 3rd 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.

Water source, living environment, food crops - are physiological elements to determine whether an area is habitable for residents.

In the quest for rapid development, protecting the environment is so essential because even if there are short term economic benefits, the cost of cleaning up the environment maybe much higher than the short term economic gain.

Peace rather than sinking of ships where hundred or thousands of corpse floating in the sea like what we witness in Titanic movie and now the current tragedy in S Korea ferry is a stark reminder of Human not to engage in mutually destructive actions that killed one another.

The tragedy at sea is heartbreaking.

Collectively, Human can prevent such tragedy certainly not sea and air skirmishes.

It is a mammoth human tragedy equal in proportion to Titanic very heartbreaking.

All the more, the island territorial dispute should not let it escalate until navies have to clash and cause human-made catastrophe of similar scale.

Most wanted Indonesia militant in new call to kill police

Terrorism is an unwholesome act as it involve killings and taking lives.
Thus it is a reminder to all Humans :-

(1)   Refrain from doing evil
(2)   Refrain from speaking evil.

Also a good reminder not to play with fire, because it will boomerang back and hurt by fire. (玩火自焚)
 
So naming of warship with terrorist name, will boomerang back with terrorist threat - the Bali bombers.
Karma is so real and can be immediate.
 Why persecuting a Living Bodhisattva will elicit小三灾 (Epidemic, war, natural disaster) ?
 
Because Human 3 evil roots of Ignorance of Universal Law, Hatred, Greed – if carry to the maxim will result in the outcomes of小三灾 (Epidemic, war, natural disaster).
Living Bodhisattva helps Humans to reduce and eradicate the 3 evil roots of Ignorance of Universal Law, Hatred, Greed and consequently control the manifestations of小三灾 (Epidemic, war, natural disaster).
 
Persecuting the Living Bodhisattva will prevent or deter or impede the Living Bodhisattva from carrying out his or her roles – thus result in manifestations of小三灾 (Epidemic, war, natural disaster).
 
In addition, it infringe 3 Laws – which as a result bring heavy karma and accelerate the manifestation of小三灾 (Epidemic, war, natural disaster):-

(1)   Human Legal Law
(2)   Heavenly Justice
(3)   Universal Law of Karma

This is because it is the Divine Vows of the Living Bodhisattva to carry out this role.
