520 |a This study examines China’s policy towards the Spratly and Paracel Islands in the South China Sea since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, and analyses whether the policy is in line with or based upon long-held Chinese foreign policy principles of peace: the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence (FPPC). It uses qualitative and interpretive method of data collection. The theoretical framework that guides the study is composed of three interrelated concepts: foreign policy, the national interest and foreign policy principles. This study has found out that China’s South China Sea policy is a rationally calculated and pragmatic foreign policy, which uses a combination of military force, legal means and diplomacy at the same time. It has been evident that China’s use of military force and unilateral legalization of the disputed areas as its sole sovereign territory have not reflected the peaceful spirit of the FPPC. While China claims to adopt the FPPC as a general guidance for its foreign policy, evidences suggest that China’s South China Sea policy is dictated by its national interests in the island groups of Spratly and Paracel, confining the role of the FPPC to being an image maker for China among other nations and another way of justifying its policy which firmly pursues its national interests.
