The Philippines, "World Journal" recently published a signed articleSaid that Malaysia a number of multinational forces to advocate the formation of a "fear of China in Southeast Asia 'Nansha Group'", with the Chinese scramble for the South China Sea. Chinese leaders have reiterated many times that I hope the South China Sea a sea of peace, friendship of the sea, a sea of cooperation. In 2005, in the Philippines, the more the three oil companies also signed an agreement putting aside disputes and jointly develop resources in the South China Sea. Are these practices in China will act as a catalyst, "Nansha Group" forming it?

The article summarized below:

Spratly Islands dispute with the country one after another in time for May 13 delimitation of the continental shelf to the United Nations proposal, on the continuing protests and diplomatic war of words. China has not issued a strong demand. However, "The tree may prefer calm but the wind will not," Recently, China has become the target of public criticism, Malaysia will be a number of forces in the first point to China directly.

According to reports: Malaysia, "Kuala Lumpur, security reviews," July 2 in an article out of this is to attract a lot of eyeballs. First half of this year a number of articles to the neighboring countries in the South China Sea outer continental shelf to the United Nations the submission of disputes arising from the background of the formation of multi-national advocate of a "fear of China in Southeast Asia 'Nansha Group'", with the Chinese scramble for the South China Sea. Is the so-called "people-friendly tiger heart, the tiger has hurt Italy", "Kuala Lumpur, security reviews" with ulterior motives, to talk nonsense and it is really infuriating.

China's Nansha Islands and adjacent waters has indisputable sovereignty has been, while Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam have claimed responsibility for the Nansha Islands have "sovereignty", but taken as a result of China's pragmatic policy of friendship with the continuous cooperation between the relevant countries, joint exploration, etc., related to the issue of the parties in the South China Sea has made considerable progress.

In the Spratly Islands region of the world's other countries can continue to maintain the use of free and open, China is playing an active role in the international community is also well received. However, in Malaysia in recent years a number of forces in defiance of China and relevant countries in the South China Sea the results of cooperation, encouragement, "Lien" against China to win the Nansha Islands, the possessive expansion has been all too clear.

On the Chinese side, the external principle of peaceful coexistence in the international community has achieved considerable results. 2002 China and ASEAN signed the "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea," emphasized through friendly consultations and negotiations, the South China Sea by peaceful means to resolve the dispute. Before the settlement of the disputes, the parties promise to exercise restraint and not take so complex and controversial expansion of the action, and in the spirit of cooperation and understanding, to seek ways to build mutual trust, including marine environmental protection, search and assistance, the fight against transnational cooperation in crime.

Chinese leaders have reiterated many times that I hope the South China Sea a sea of peace, friendship of the sea, a sea of cooperation. In 2005, the Philippines, the more the three oil companies also signed an "agreement in the South China Sea Joint Marine Seismic Undertaking Accord," putting aside disputes and jointly develop resources in the South China Sea. Are these practices in China will act as a catalyst, "Nansha Group" forming it?

"Nansha group" was the South-East Asia and other countries a number of forces "tacit" feeling out directly. Stealth "Nansha group" behind the shadow of the United States, if just a few Southeast Asian countries, I am afraid that will not go so fast, and the United States and Southeast Asian countries become increasingly close in recent years, the "karaoke" is the example of the exercise. Therefore, the invisible "Nansha Group" In the medium to long term China is a big trouble, how to fight for time, how to respond, will test the wisdom of China.
