Week10-XInyu-Yang -ASA150E


Unconsciously, ten weeks are coming to an end. Attending this class has undoubtedly expanded my horizons. I know many stories that people deliberately hide and forget. These stories are not only confined to Southeast Asia, but they also reflect the pattern of the world behind them. Especially the secret war, the story behind the Lao Hmong.
The Spratly Islands controversy mentioned by the professor is the most interesting. A reasonable analysis of the current situation in the Spratly Islands, the layout of each country and the reasons behind it. powerful countries' urgent need resources that are in the Spratly Islands. This is undoubtedly an important part of today's international disputes. I like that this lesson is not limited to history, but to look at history and think about current issues. And throughout the whole quarter, it is worth noting that all war-related stories can reveal the shadows hidden by today's education system. I am very glad that I chose the ASA course, but for those who have not chosen the ASA course, will some parts of the real image be hidden all the time.
My last question is whether the research on the controversy in the Spratly Islands today have hope for solving it?
