On 15 October 2016, the 4th Forum on Regional Cooperation in the South China Sea-the Symposium on Cross-Strait Cooperation in the South China Sea, was successfully co-hosted by South China Sea Institute of Xiamen University, Hainan International Culture Exchange Center, and Hainan Provincial Research Center for Policy and Law of the South China Sea in Lingshui, Hainan. More than 30 people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait attended the symposium, including well-known scholars from Taiwan University, 〞Academia Sinica〞, Sun Yat-Sen University(Kaohsiung Taiwan), Taiwan Ocean University and Chengchi University, practitioners in Taiwan's fishery industry, and experts and scholars from Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Hainan University, Shandong University, Northwest University of Political Science and Law, Xiamen University and China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations. With the purport of cross-Strait cooperation in the South China Sea (SCS) in mind, the participants conducted in-depth discussions on the following aspects: historical records and data in respect of the SCS islands, legal status of the SCS waters and islands, fishery management in the SCS, marine environmental protection, the relationship between China, the U.S. and Japan in the SCS game and the role Taiwan plays in this game. Given the significance of this symposium, the author attempts to write a review for it.
