## Resource

Beijing has rejected the move arguing that the waters in question involve China's maritime rights and interests. What is really driving the latest moves by Japan and the Philippines? Are they creating a new flashpoint in regional maritime and sovereignty disputes? And how will such a unilateral move undermine regional stability?
