Abstract: The South China Sea (SCS) is a strategic maritime area and is rich in natural resources. However, this area is also contested by several countries, including China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan. This debate was triggered by the emergence of identity politics initiated by social media. The aim of this research is to analyze how media and identity politics can become a new threat in the LCS. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected through literature reviews and social media analysis. The research results suggest that media and identity politics may be a new threat in the LCS. Social media can be used to spread misinformation and hatred, which can fuel conflict between countries. Identity politics can also strengthen nationalism and complicate conflict. This study concludes that media and identity politics may be a new threat in the LCS. Efforts such as increasing media coverage and encouraging tolerance between countries are needed to prevent and overcome this threat.
