Abstract

This article discusses the dynamics of the maritime piracy in Southeast Asian waters (especially the Straits of Malacca and Singapore), and stresses the implications for Fujian Province, China. The findings indicate that there are three weak points in the security governance of maritime piracy, that is, disputes of the littoral states' sovereignty, limited resources of security governance in Southeast Asian waters, and insufficient information sharing between the littoral countries. Fujian Province plays an important role in China's Maritime Silk Road, for which it has two options in the foreseeable future, that is the Melaka Gateway Project and Kra Canal Project.
