The China–Vietnam border is the international boundary between China and Vietnam, consisting of a 1,297 km (806 mi) terrestrial border stretching from the tripoint with Laos in the west to the Gulf of Tonkin coast in the east, and a maritime border in the Gulf of Tonkin and South China Sea.
Country Notes China The Philippines shares a maritime border with China in the South China Sea although the extent of the border is disputed by the two countries. [1]The Philippine claim covers an area of the South China Sea island which its government has designated as "West Philippine Sea" which includes the likewise internationally contested Spratly Islands and Scarborough Shoal.
The region of all countries bordering China is sometimes referred to by scholars as the China Rim, [3] [4] [5] or simply as China's periphery (Chinese: 中国周边). [6] The China Rim plays a significant role in competition between other countries and China, as is the case with America's China Containment Policy. [7]
