The players showed their fighting spirits and faced tough opposition from the players of 25 other countries who participated in this sport.

  • Tourism As a Territorial Strategy in the South China Sea

    Tourism As a Territorial Strategy in the South China Sea

    CHAPTER 3 Tourism as a Territorial Strategy in the South China Sea Ian Rowen INTRODUCTION The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is deploying tourism as a tool in its territorialization program for the South China Sea, reconfiguring geopo- litical imaginaries and popular political discourse, and developing new lei- sure spaces, economies, and infrastructure. This approach is consistent with China’s deployment of outbound tourism to achieve political objec- tives in other regions, both within and far beyond its periphery. Outbound tourism from China has been used as an economic lever for extracting political concessions not only in nearby Taiwan, but as far away as Canada. At the same time that tourism is being used to consolidate Chinese state authority in Tibet (Shepherd 2006), it has also triggered widespread pop- ular protest in semi-autonomous Hong Kong. State-directed Chinese tourism is now increasingly precipitating international protest over the territorially contested South China Sea. I.
