This is where authoritarian China is trying to rewrite international law and challenge the democratic values of the United States and its allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightning rods of conflict are remote reefs and islands from which China has created military bases in the 1.5-million-square-mile expanse of the South China Sea, a crucial world trading route that this rising world power now claims as its own. No other Asian country can take on China alone. They look for protection from the United States, although it, too, may be ill-equipped for the job at hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf China does get away with seizing and militarising waters here, what will it do elsewhere in the world, and who will be able to stop it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAsian Waters\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning foreign correspondent Humphrey Hawksley breaks down the politics and tensions that he has followed through this region for years.

Do Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan share enough common purpose to create a NATO-esque multilateral alliance? Does China think it can even become a superpower while making an enemy of America?
