The Geopolitical Pivot

The Geopolitical Pivot Podcast is back for good with a returning episode discussing China's maritime militia and fishing vessels in the South China Sea as tensions continue to increase between Beijing and Washington DC. The usage of these maritime militia serves to provide China with plausible deniability while carefully crafting its own strategic maritime advantage in the South China Sea. Seeking to make the 9 Dash Line a reality, Beijing will continue to use maritime militias and fishing vessels as the main maritime force to address territorial disputes. However, there are major institutional problems such as chain of command and financing that prohibits the PRC's maritime militias from becoming significant professional additions to the PRC's military-security apparatus. This will only increase tensions and the probabilities of instability.

It is good to be back!
