The document discusses the key elements of statehood - people, government, territory, and sovereignty. It defines people as a permanent group living within the boundaries of a territory. Territory includes land, water, and airspace under a state's jurisdiction. Government is the agency that formulates and implements the will of the state. Sovereignty is a state's supreme authority over its territory, free from external control. It also contrasts states and nations, with states defined politically by government and territory, while nations are more cultural and ethnic groups united by common traits within a state.

The dispute between China and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea can strain relationships and create tensions among neighboring countries in the region. This can lead to a more unstable environment and make cooperation on various issues, such as trade or security, more challenging. The presence of military forces and territorial claims can potentially escalate conflicts, affecting the overall peace and collaboration in the surrounding area.
