Abstract China has conducted three struggles for safeguarding rights in the South China Sea (SCS) since 2012, which demonstrated the policy of “sovereignty of SCS islands belongs to China” in the new era. The specific goals and effects of the three struggles for safeguarding rights in the SCS were different in different situations, but they shared the following characters: limited goals, various and complementary means, and the firm will, which resulted in a very complicated process to safeguard rights. From a more comprehensive and coherent perspective, the three conflicts to defend rights of the SCS responded to specific situations in the SCS which aimed to realize specific objectives. In conclusion, based on the tenet to maintain China's domination and participation in the SCS situation, measures to safeguard rights in the SCS are supposed to serve the grand strategy of peaceful development, and attention should be attached to the construction of both hard and soft power.
