Agenda: Discussing China’s involvement in Territorial Disputes with Taiwan including the South China Sea

With an increase in the Chinese military, complexities in the region are set to escalate. Therefore, this committee of JCC will explore and discuss strategies in response to China’s growing presence in the Asia - Pacific region with the aim to counterbalance China’s assertiveness and to ensure regional stability.
