The disputes in the South China Sea between Beijing and several other actors in the Asia- Pacific region (Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei) have been considered by many analysts as a major hotspot generating regional instability, occupying a Space in the Chinese security agenda. China's maritime strategy plays a relevant role in the territorial disputes of the South China Sea, as Beijing has relied on its military and nonmilitary vessels as powerful political tools, either to pressure other actors in the region, to reaffirm its claims on sovereignty and Jurisdiction or consolidate their positions in the disputed waters in the South China Sea, in addition Beijing has presented a more assertive behavior from 2009-2010 according to the understanding of authors such as Raditio (2015), Ross (2012), Zhang (2016) . Friedberg (2015) and Yahuda (2013)In this context, the purpose of this dissertation is to analyze Beijing's current maritime strategic behavior, taking into account the disputes in the South China Sea and its fundamental interests in these disputes. It sought to outline Beijing's strategic behavior between the period 2009-2016, in addition the present paper briefly describes two major incidents involving Beijing's maritime and naval capabilities in the South China Sea, the Scarborough Shoal incident in 2012 Between China and the Philippines and the incident with the Chinese oil platform Haiyang Shiyou 981 in 2014-2016 between China and Vietnam for the purpose of illustrating the current Chinese maritime strategic behavior.The methodological procedure employed is quantitativequalitative, of an exploratory and descriptive character, with a predominantly political bias and using the defensive structural realism as a theoretical reference.its argues that China exhibited complex strategic behavior, on the one hand demonstrated a growing assertiveness that is represented primarily through its maritime strategic behavior in disputes, this assertiveness is brought about by the security dilemma between China and Southeast Asia and other factors Minor, on the other hand as realistic defensive state has undertaken cooperative measures to ease the aggravation of tensions in disputes, although using strategic differentiated movements, Beijing's goal has been the same, do not lose positions in the South China Sea disputes, or That is, to maintain the status quo.
