The research is conducted through content analysis and text analysis of official documents. By tracking official political statements, this work seeks to examine the general pattern and key causal dynamics of Chinese foreign policy in disputes. On the basis of analysis of official documents across four decades, the paper argued that China has become more conciliatory and cooperative in the dispute. Improved economic relations and ASEAN regimes contribute to this positive change in Chinese foreign policy. A close analysis of two case studies, the Sino-Vietnamese disputes and the Sino- Philippines disputes, supports the arguments proposed here. Although it is difficult to specify the causal sequence of economic relations and China’s policy change, this work suggests that the prioritization of economic cooperation over the dispute has become a significant feature in China’s policy pattern since 2000. The paper also finds that ASEAN regimes, such as ASEAN Regional Forum, the 2002 Code of Conduct, and the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, do have a constant role in Chinese policy consideration. Contradicting the realist perspective, this study’s findings do not support the argument that the United States is a significant concern for China in its South China Sea policy.
