This issue of the journal was originally prepared as background reading material for participants to the symposium and dialgoues Philippine Association for Chinese Studeis (PACS) is organizing for the China delegates and their Filipino counterparts.

But this volume also serves as a useful educational resource for all those interestaed in understanding the issues underlying the territorial and maritime disputes between the Philippines and China.

The articles are divided into three parts: disputes, domestic policies, and cooperative efforts.

This volume is offered to people who are concerned with the deterioration of Philippine-China relations and wish to understand the irritants and the gap of misinformation as well as to learn what can be done to resolve the issues that divide and focus on issues that unite
