Some Chinese scholars believe that in the context of the comprehensive confrontation between China and the United States, due to the suspension of bilateral crisis control mechanisms, once the soldiers of the two sides meet at sea, it is likely to cause the gun to get angry.
Wu Shi, dean of the China Think Tank Nanhai Research Institute, exists in an interview published by the Hong Kong Ming Pao today (9th) that the US factors of the South China Sea this year are highlighted and said that the United States uses the South China Sea issue to contain China and provoked the relationship between China and Asians.

Since the trade dispute in 2018, China -US wrestling has extended to many fields such as science and technology, diplomacy, culture, and education, and the South China Sea has not been calm.

Wu Shicun believes that the current regular consultation and review mechanism of the China -US crisis control has been suspended. Once the frontline soldiers of the two sides meet at sea, any party fails to comply with existing rules, which may cause disaster.
He also said that the current goals of both China and the United States are clear and the bottom line is blurred. China's goal is to safeguard the proposition of the South China sea rights and interests and regional peace and stability.8203; Western sea hegemony.

However, he also believes that China has not had much bottom line to be tentative. Because of the seven artificial islands controlled by China, the U.S. military has entered.
