This paper examines the media reports，special think tank，and business reports in the U.S.，Japan，U.K.，India，Philippines，Vietnam，Malaysia，and ASEAN countries（from 2014 to 2015），and aims to comprehensively analyze the social opinions about the South China Sea’s sovereignty contestation and make basic strategic suggestions.

The core viewpoints can be summed as follows：（1）the Pew report particularly selected the time slot and key words combination and produced a “objective” China bias，which weakens the negative comments on the U.S. and emphasized the international public opinion rebounded by the aggressive Chinese diplomatic strategies.（2）India，on the other hand，showed a libratory pragmatism in their public opinion and ideology，and strengthened the presence in the traditional Chinese sphere of influence，which is an evolution from elephant to whale.（3）Japan performed a strong intervention power through emphasizing the short-distance stress-coping and strengthening the ethos and public opinion in long-term strategies.（4）Philippines and other countries enhanced their self-consciousness and international reaction capacities by bearing humiliations and aiming for long-term benefits，which is an action that worth strategic attention from China.
