  • US-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas
    U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 8, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42784 U.S.-China Strategic Competition in South and East China Seas Summary Over the past several years, the South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as an arena of U.S.-China strategic competition. China’s actions in the SCS—including extensive island-building and base- construction activities at sites that it occupies in the Spratly Islands, as well as actions by its maritime forces to assert China’s claims against competing claims by regional neighbors such as the Philippines and Vietnam—have heightened concerns among U.S. observers that China is gaining effective control of the SCS, an area of strategic, political, and economic importance to the United States and its allies and partners. Actions by China’s maritime forces at the Japan- administered Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea (ECS) are another concern for U.S. observers. Chinese domination of China’s near-seas region—meaning the SCS and ECS, along with the Yellow Sea—could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere. Potential general U.S. goals for U.S.-China strategic competition in the SCS and ECS include but are not necessarily limited to the following: fulfilling U.S. security commitments in the Western Pacific, including treaty commitments to Japan and the Philippines; maintaining and enhancing the U.S.-led security architecture in the Western Pacific, including U.S.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals is not expected with normal handling and use. In particular, the cell or battery should not be opened or burned. Section III – Hazards Identification Emergency Overview: Do not open or disassemble cells or batteries or expose them to fire or open flame. Do not puncture or deform. Cells and batteries present a hazard only if mishandled in a way that causes damage to the cell or battery or compromises their integrity. Primary Routes of Exposure: Risk of exposure to hazardous materials will only occur if the cell or battery is physically, thermally or electrically abused to the extent that the integrity of the cell or battery is compromised. In this case, exposure to the electrolyte can occur through ingestion, inhalation, eye contact and skin contact. Potential Health Effects: If the battery or cell has been damaged or ruptured, the electrolyte solution, which is corrosive, could be released and cause burns to the eyes, skin or respiratory tract. Ingestion of the electrolyte can cause serious burns of the gastrointestinal tract. Section IV – First Aid Measures If you get electrolyte in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately contact a physician.
