Maritime territorial disputes have become a hot issue in regional security and a pressing issue for Taiwan's national security. While Taiwan is persistently claiming sovereign right over the large part of the South China Sea based on the U-shaped line, its role is however weakened as a result of the cross-strait hostility and its prolonged hands-off policy. Of course, its ambiguous international status, difficult relation with mainland China and domestic political confusion on nation's future have more to do with its inactive role in the South China Sea disputes. This insecurity contributes to its ambivalent policy. This articleintends to address Taiwan's legitimate claim for the part of the South China Sea, which has been unknown and neglected by the international community, and examine the reasons why Taiwan had taken inactive policy toward the South China Sea. Alerted by recent aggressive moves of other claimants, Taiwan is now shifting to a reasonable tougher strategy in the South China Sea. The articlealso projects the course of fresh efforts made by the Taiwan government pressurised by the public with increasing awareness of urgency.

From introduction: "The year 2005 began with a series of attempts for a strategie new modelling in East Asia. The US President George Bush has been well into his second term and started to shape up a new regional strategie environment. In the light of the incessant Iraqi as well as the North Korean issue, at this moment the US obviously need to make a more diplomatic effort rather than rely purely on the military superiority in intemational affairs. This was clearly highlighted by the new Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, at her eonfirmation hearing at the Senate on 18 January, 2005. She indicated: "we must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power in the world that favors freedom. And the time for diplomacy is now.""(.)

The South China Sea (SCS) is an area of strategic value to the surrounding countries and also to some outsiders. For that reason the SCS issue is now becoming a major problem affecting regional security. In recent year, the overall situation in the SCS region has remained stable, but there are still some uncertain factors that may have an impact on regional security. Since the end of the Cold War, some external parties, such as the United States, Japan, and India, have focused their attention on Southeast Asia and strengthened their political, economic, and military relations with some members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) With this development, the regional security pattern has entered a period of transition. China is trapped in a security dilemma in the SCS, and China's behavior there will be a litmus test for Beijing s claim that its rise to the status of a regional and global power will be a peaceful one.
