The Spratly Islands are geopolitically significant because of the oil and natural gas deposits found in the bed of its territorial waters.

The Spratly Islands are an archipelago in the southwestern part of the South China Sea. The islands do not have a resident population, ports or harbors, but there are four airports. Currently, the archipelago is used as a fishing area.
The territory of the islands is disputed by six states: Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei. Despite their tiny size, the islands of the archipelago are important in terms of presence in the region. In addition, studies indicate the presence of a significant amount of oil and gas.

About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small military contingents from Vietnam, China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan. The Brunei fishery area includes the southern reef, but Brunei has not made any official territorial claims.
