How should we deal with the territorial and maritime rights and interests disputes that have existed

China has maritime disputes with eight neighboring countries, which from north to south are North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.

A country's maritime rights and interests include all resources within its territory, such as mineral resources, oil and gas resources, fish resources, and navigation rights.

The rights and interests of the sea are one, and the contour line of the sea is dominant.

There are islands: Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam.

Over the past five years, the United States has steadily increased its military presence in Asia: deploying aircraft carriers, submarines, and even ground troops: increasing military assistance and cooperation with Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam; Announced that it will help Indonesia and other countries strengthen their naval forces.

It is no wonder that China, which considers itself a defensive country, has become vigilant and has taken a series of countermeasures. In view of the recent increasing number of worrying incidents between the two armies, it seems that sooner or later, the rifle will go wrong.

There are currently islands disputed: Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam.

China has territorial and maritime disputes with India, Bhutan, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and other countries.

Disputed areas: Southern Tibet, Aksai Chin, northern Bhutan, Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands (Diaoyutai Islands), Zhongsha Islands (Scarborough Shoal), Suyan Reef, Xisha Islands, and Nanchangsha Islands.

Reason: China's territorial disputes are mainly caused by historical and resource reasons.

With the introduction of the idea of sovereignty in Western countries and the invasion of Western colonialists, the issue of sovereign borders became increasingly prominent, and under the nuclear aggression of Western colonizers, China was forced to sign unequal treaties one after another and cede large areas of territory.

China has maritime disputes with eight neighboring countries, which are North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.

1. East China Sea and Japan;

2. Xisha and Vietnam;

3. Nansha and the Philippines.

It mainly deals with seabed resources.

In 1947, the then "Ministry of the Interior" completed the demarcation of the South China Sea, known as the "nine-dash line". The southernmost of this line reaches the dark sands of Zengmu at 4° north latitude, laying the basic course of today's South China Sea boundaries. Scarborough Shoal is also within China's territorial waters along the "nine-dash line".

According to relevant experts, another proof of China's inherent territory is that at the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the boundary was demarcated at 118 degrees north latitude, and the north was the territorial waters of the Philippines. However, Scarborough Shoal is located at about 117°48', which is also legally outside the territory of the Philippines.

The current Philippine law includes a number of places more than 200 nautical miles from the coast within its territory, which is inconsistent with the basic principles of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

For a quarter of a century after the demarcation of the border in 1947, there were no objections from the neighboring countries. This gives rise to historic sovereignty in the sense of international law. Zhang Zhirong, an associate professor at Peking University's School of International Studies, said, "The South China Sea dispute originated from the discovery of China's offshore oil and gas resources in the late 60s and early 70s of the last century.

At the same time, the origin of the South China Sea dispute is also related to the historical factors at that time. At that time, the United Nations was in the process of developing the law of the sea, which had long been vague in its definition of the principle of delimitation. The vague principle of delimitation has given some countries an opportunity to exploit it.

The Eastern Sea (Mare Orientale, Eastern Sea) is one of the Moon Seas. The Moon Sea has the most complete concentric circle structure in the west. The outermost ring.

The Maritime Surveillance has established a regular rights protection in the East China Sea [3].

Called the cordillera, it is surrounded by steep cliffs and ridged faults. Located on the north side of the Moon Sea there is the crater Maunder, and to the southeast of the Maunder is the Kopff crater. Montes Rooks is located on the eastern side of the Moon Sea.

Also known as the Oriental Sea. A circular shady plain of basalt material spread across the East China Sea basin with a multi-layered ring structure on the western edge of the moon. It covers an area of about 50,000 square kilometers (19,300 square miles).

The most significant outer ring on the outer periphery of the East China Sea Basin is the Montes Cordillera, which is 900 km (560 mi) in diameter. Other vast circular structures on the periphery of the basin include the Outer Luk Mountains, which are 620 km (385 mi) in diameter; Mount Neruk, 480 km in diameter; The inner ring of the East China Sea, with a diameter of 320 km. The East China Sea is located at the edge of the moon's surface and can be seen from Earth.

In the past, we didn't know much about it, but in the 1960s and 70s, thanks to the multifaceted lunar exploration carried out by manned and unmanned spacecraft, scientists were able to make detailed observations of the appearance and encirclement of the East China Sea.

Safeguarding China's maritime rights and interests requires the joint efforts of you, me and others at all levels.

First of all, I think that China's navy must speed up its development and strengthening, which is the last word in safeguarding maritime rights and interests.

Second, it is best to integrate the departments currently involved in maritime management and form them into a single force like the US Coast Guard, so as to avoid the dispersion of forces and the fact that they think of each other's own interests and pass the buck to each other when they encounter problems.

Third, it is necessary to support relevant enterprises, regardless of state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, to actively develop and utilize relevant resources in the so-called "disputed" sea areas, so as to gain a foothold and occupy territory first.

Thirdly, at the non-governmental level, it is necessary to have the awareness of safeguarding maritime rights and interests and to act together with the people, and to do it in the form of non-governmental organizations that are inconvenient to come forward.

In short, safeguarding China's maritime rights and interests requires a game of chess for the whole country.

The Chinese Navy's budget investment will increase by a few percentage points, and "they" will not need to look for China.
