Why did China and South Korea dispute over Hyuga Reef?

Hyuga Reef in the Yellow Sea of China is located at 34°00:41 north latitude and 124°53:19 east longitude. Hyuga Reef is an undersea reef with a depth of 7.8 meters, located on the Chinese mainland shelf in the Yellow Sea, and its composition is the silt sediment of the Yellow River, which is a traditional fishing ground for fishermen in Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces for generations in the 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone calculated from the base point of China's territorial waters, Ma Caiheng and Waijiao (Shazhou Island off Yancheng, Jiangsu Province).

South Korea's latest announcement of the building on the "Habitable Reef" (Hyuga Reef), commonly known as the "Second Marine Science Base". Its parameters are approximately: 47 kilometers west of Xiaoshan Island, at a water depth of 15 meters, the overall height of the "base" is 51 meters, and there is a building of about 10 floors on the water surface of 26 meters, weighing 523 tons, and covering an area of 330 square meters, which is equivalent to a quarter of the scale of the "base from the island" that they built on China's Suyan Reef in 2003.

It is equipped with modern scientific instruments and marine researchers, and its full name is "Habitable Reef Marine Science Base" (that is, after the so-called scientific base built by South Korea on Suyan Reef in the East China Sea, another artificial steel and iron skeleton built on the Hyuga Reef in the Yellow Sea, which is used to occupy land for people, and will continue to expand westward and occupy the sea with this base in the future.) ）

South Korea and China share the southern Yellow Sea and the northern part of the East China Sea, before the emergence of the Hyuga Reef and Suyan Reef issues, the two countries have different views on the division of the continental shelf, South Korea adheres to the median line method to divide the adjacent continental shelf between the two countries, in the southern Yellow Sea, China's coastline is 821 kilometers long, the South Korean side is 659 kilometers, the ratio is 1 ratio, and most of the sediments in the Yellow Sea ** in Chinese mainland, if the middle line to divide the continental shelf is obviously unfair. Our position is that factors such as the extension of the continental shelf, the length of the coastline and the number of coastal inhabitants, as well as historical and traditional sea areas should be taken into account. Hyuga Reef is located in China's 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, and according to the exclusive economic zone law of the People's Republic of China, the seabed in the waters of Hyuga Reef is under the jurisdiction of China.

The three Korean characters in the picture on the left are the meaning of "habitable reef", the red dot on the top is the Hyuga Reef in the Yellow Sea, and the red dot below is the Suyan Reef in the East China Sea.

South Korea's ** allocated 5.9 billion won, a total of 10 billion yuan to build a steel artificial building, has been built on the Hyuga Reef, is about to be completed, is expected to be completed in October 2009, and has been renamed in December 2006 "Habitable Reef", menacing and unstoppable.

I hope that the compatriots who care about the maritime land will tell you that our coastal defense is in an emergency, and the sea area left by our ancestors has been greatly reduced, and Han Kou has expanded to me in the name of scientific research, and has plunged into China's internal sea with one leg, and is building illegal buildings and illegal nesting, and the upper echelons of our country have the policy of maintaining obscurity and the consideration of a harmonious world, so they are helpless for the time being, and hope that the people will brainstorm and properly solve this sea area problem.

A veritable east. Second. Sickness. Husband!

In the second half of 2000, South Korea illegally built a 76-meter-high (40 meters underwater, 36 meters above water) and 3,600-tonne steel building, equivalent to a 15-story building, at 65 meters south of the highest peak of Suam Reef, which was completed in June 2003. South Korea has conducted various resource explorations in nearby waters, and has sent ships and aircraft to patrol them, as if they were an extension of their overseas territories.

The stick has already built a fixed base station! Politics. Prefecture. If you don't have the courage to war, you will never act! It's a fait made by a stick a fait accompli, and that's sooner or later!

China is about to die, it will be eaten away by neighboring countries, it will be torn apart, the state apparatus and the army will not be a little bloody, and the people will be very indifferent

China's "national character" may evolve from "not saving passers-by when they see death" to the country being carved up and occupied. Country. , the soldiers and the people are still unconcerned and happy, and they are more progressive than Lu Xun at that time.

On December 19, 2006, the Korean Maritime Geographical Names Committee met and unanimously approved the change of the name of Hyuga Reef to "Gageo Reef" and gave it a new Korean name to prove that it is a "territory" of South Korea. In the past 30 years, the Yellow Sea has also been gradually changed to West Sea by South Korea, not only his domestic textbook and map publishing houses, but also the major map publishers in the international community have also asked the major map publishers to add the English West Sea (West Sea) or Korean West Sea Pinyin (seo hae) next to the Yellow Sea, but it is relatively low-key, not as high as his request for the Japanese Sea to change the East China Sea to a high profile. In addition to distinguishing the Chinese name, the new name "Keju" conceals a far-reaching strategy, reflecting South Korea's ambition to live at Hyuga Reef.

After the meeting, South Korea** announced in the form of an official report that Hyuga Jiao had obtained South Korean nationality. The Korea Maritime Survey has also actively cooperated and reached an agreement with relevant agencies to promote the renaming and registration of habitable reefs in the international arena.

The "habitable reef" is far away from China's uninhabited islands and close to South Korea's inhabited island, Xiaoheishan Island, and South Korea has always refused to recognize the status of China's uninhabited sandbar islands such as Ma Caiheng and Waikojiao as the base point of its territorial waters, and has demanded that the Yellow Sea be demarcated along the median line, so that the habitable reef is located on the South Korean side.

According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, China's waters can be extended to 200 nautical miles as China's exclusive economic zone. Hyuga Reef is a submarine reef, located on the Chinese mainland shelf in the Yellow Sea, in the 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone off the coast of Jiangsu Province, the base point of China's territorial waters, and is a traditional fishing ground that Chinese fishermen have relied on for generations. Charts published in China all show the location of the Hyuga Reef.
