The extent of the maritime geographical contiguous zone, what the maritime territory includes, the c

Territorial sea and exclusive economic zone: According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, the width of the territorial sea of the People's Republic of China is 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea; According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Exclusive Economic Zone and the Continental Shelf, China's exclusive economic zone is an area outside the territorial sea and adjacent to the territorial sea, which extends to 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the width of the territorial sea is measured.

Layman's point: 12 nautical miles beyond the coastline of the territorial sea. Exclusive Economic Zone: 200 nautical miles beyond the territorial sea.

It seems that you have never heard of the term "maritime geographical contiguous zone", and I wonder if you are referring to the contiguous zone.

The coastal State may demarcate a zone of sea of a certain width adjacent to the territorial sea beyond the territorial sea, in which the coastal State exercises some control over specific matters such as customs, finance, immigration and health, and this area is called the contiguous zone. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the width of the contiguous zone generally does not exceed 24 nautical miles beyond the baselines of the territorial sea, that is, the area of 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea.

China's maritime territory includes the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone, the continental shelf, the territorial sea and the inland sea. The maritime territory is also one of the territorial parts of a country, including land and water, to defend the ground and the bottom and air. Therefore, the territory of the country is divided into three parts, namely territorial land, territorial waters, and territorial airspace, and the air and bottom of the territory belong to the country.

China has sovereignty, domination, and jurisdiction over more than 4.5 million square kilometers of sea area. The sea area here includes the inland sea, territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone, continental shelf and other maritime territories belonging to China. China's blue territory includes all of the Bohai Sea, parts of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, as well as the waters around the island of Taiwan and part of the international seabed area.

Among them, the Bohai Sea is located at the northern tip of the eastern part of Chinese mainland, it is a nearly closed inland sea, close to the Liaodong Peninsula in the east, and its pure belt is bordered by Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin and Shandong provinces and one city on three sides. The Yellow Sea is located between our country and the Korean Peninsula; The East China Sea is more clearly demarcated, and it has some contact with many regions, such as its southwestern part is connected to the South China Sea through the Taizao Rolling Bay Strait.

The South China Sea, as the name suggests, is also in the southern part of the Chinese mainland. Our maritime territory accounts for one third of the entire country's land territory. People living in coastal areas can also live well on marine materials, and marine transportation is also a major benefit of the transportation industry, making the development of the whole country more rapid.

China's maritime territory includes the inland sea, territorial sea, contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone, continental shelf, etc.

Maritime territory is a general term for the image of the internal waters, territorial seas and sea areas under the jurisdiction of a coastal country. The sea area under jurisdiction includes the contiguous zone outside the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone, the continental shelf, the historic sea area or the traditional maritime frontier.

With the exception of internal waters and territorial seas, which enjoy complete sovereignty over land territories as well as land territories, the other jurisdictional waters enjoy only partial sovereign rights and interests. For example, coastal States have the right to exercise sovereign rights over the continental shelf for the purpose of exploration of the continental shelf and the exploitation of its natural resources. However, the rights of the coastal State over the continental shelf do not affect the legal status of the waters or the airspace above them.

China's maritime territory includes all of the Bohai Sea, parts of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the waters around Taiwan Island and part of the international seabed area, with a total area of nearly 3 million square kilometers.

Delimitation of maritime territories

1. Baseline of territorial sea: There should be a starting line for measuring the width of the territorial sea. This starting line is referred to in the law of the sea as the "baselines of the territorial sea".

In accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, there are generally three methods for determining the baselines of the territorial sea of a coastal State: one is the normal baseline method, the other is the straight baseline method, and the other is the mixed baseline method.

2. Continental shelf: The continental shelf is the natural extension of the continent to the ocean and is generally considered to be part of the land. It is also called "land shed" or "continental shoal". It refers to the shallow sea zone that surrounds the continent.

3. Exclusive economic zone: The exclusive economic zone refers to an area of hail 200 nautical miles from the baseline of the territorial sea, outside the territorial sea and adjacent to the territorial sea.

China's maritime territory includes territorial waters, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones, continental shelves, etc.

1. Territorial sea: The sea area of a certain width adjacent to its coast or internal waters under the sovereign jurisdiction of a coastal state is an integral part of the national territory. The airspace above the territorial sea, the seabed and the subsoil are under the sovereign jurisdiction of the coastal State.

2. Contiguous Zone:

A maritime area of a certain width adjacent to the territorial sea beyond the territorial sea of the coastal State over which the coastal State exercises jurisdiction over matters such as customs, finance, health and immigration.

3. Exclusive Economic Zone:

It refers to a regional concept proposed in public international law for the purpose of settling disputes between countries or regions over territorial waters. The exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is an area outside the territorial sea adjacent to the territorial sea, which shall not exceed 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the width of the territorial sea is measured, excluding points closer to another State.

4. Continental shelf:

The continental coastal land extends to the ocean under the surface of the sea, and the continent is covered by seawater. In the past glacial period, due to the decline of sea level, the continental shelf often exposed the sea surface and became land bridges. During interglacial periods, it is submerged by rising seawater and becomes a shallow sea. The continental shelf is the natural extension of a continent towards the ocean and is often considered a part of the landmass.

Characteristics of our maritime territory:

First, the sea area is vast:

China's sea area starts from the north shore of the Bohai Sea in the north, reaches the southern end of the South China Sea in the south, spans 44 latitudes, is about 4,500 kilometers long, and goes from the sea surface of China's Beibu Gulf in the west to the east boundary of the East China Sea, passing more than 20 degrees of longitude and more than 2,000 kilometers wide. The Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea cover an area of more than 4.7 million square kilometers. China's vast Qiaohanling sea area provides a broad space for the development and utilization of marine resources and filial piety.

Second, the coastline is long:

China's mainland coastline, from the mouth of the Yalu River in the north to the mouth of the Beilun River in the south, is more than 18,000 kilometers long, and if more than 6,500 island coastlines are added, the coastline is more than 32,000 kilometers long. The Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea have developed many harbors and islands along the long coastline.

3. There are many islands

China is a country with many islands, with more than 6,500 large and small islands. Most of China's islands are located on the coast of the mainland, and they can be classified into three types: bedrock islands, alluvial islands and coral islands. Bedrock islands have a close relationship with the mainland in terms of geological structure, and are mostly distributed in the adjacent waters of mountainous and hilly coasts (bedrock coasts).

You are correct about the extent of our maritime territory that you mentioned.

According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf, China's maritime land mainly includes the following:

1.Territorial waters.

Offshore waters within 12 nautical miles from baselines. The width of China's territorial waters is basically 12 nautical miles.

2.Contiguous zone.

Contiguous zone within the 24-nautical-mile range from territorial territory. Under international law, my country enjoys jurisdiction over the region.

3.Exclusive economic zone.

The sea area within 200 nautical miles from baseline. China has the right to develop and manage the resources in this area.

4.Continental shelf.

The continental shelf extends from the continental boundary to the seabed and subsoil area of the continental margin. Our country has the right to exploit the resources of the region.

These areas constitute China's maritime territory and are very important for the protection of marine resources and the protection of maritime rights and interests. China will firmly safeguard its sovereignty and jurisdiction over these waters.

Territorial waters. China's maritime territory includes territorial waters, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones, continental shelves, etc., covering an area of about 3 million square kilometers.

The maritime territory is part of the territory of the Zheng State. The territory includes land and water, as well as its subsoil and airspace. The national territory is divided into three parts: territorial land, territorial waters, and territorial airspace.

Territorial waters are attached to territorial land. The airspace and subsoil are attached to the territorial land and territorial waters. Therefore, the territorial land is the most important part, the main component of the territory, and if the territorial land changes, the territorial waters, airspace and subsoil attached to the territorial land also change.

China's mainland coastline is more than 18,000 kilometers long, and there are many excellent harbors along the coast, which are convenient for ships to shelter from the wind and dock. There are more than 5,000 islands in China, and most of them are located in the waters south of the Yangtze River estuary.

China's largest archipelago is the Zhoushan Archipelago, which is located in the waters east of Zhejiang Province. There are four islands in the South China Sea, namely Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands, and Nansha Islands. From north to south, China's borders are the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea.
