China Is Determines To Subservient Vietnam Completely

China military:China and Vietnam, Jan. 15 issued a joint statement, the both sides agreed to take effective measures to expand and deepen bilateral friendly cooperation in various fields. The two sides had a frank exchange of views on maritime issues, stressing that through friendly consultations and negotiations to resolve disputes and maintain peace and stability in South China Sea, the political will and determination.

During the visit, both leaders of the official opening of the more hot. Promote the establishment of two Department of Defense military direct telephone, timely carry out joint land border patrol pilot in the South China Sea on both sides to maintain calm and restraint and refrain from any actions or disputes would complicate or escalate the action! The two sides will steadily push forward the future estuary waters of the northern Gulf demarcation negotiations and actively discuss joint development of the waters. Actively promote the marine environment, marine scientific research, maritime search and rescue, oil and gas exploration and exploitation, disaster prevention and other areas.


During the summit in Vietnam, the South China Sea has been the focus of discussion between the two sides, and in Vietnam earlier this month President has publicly visited India during the visit to New Delhi, India and Vietnam, the South China Sea as a common discourse, the cooperation between the two countries in the South China Sea in-depth exchanges, and India and Vietnam signed the relevant exploitation of offshore oil and gas resources in the South China Sea agreement, discussions between the two countries will increase investment and development in the oil and gas fields, and gradually open interfere in the affairs of India, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has repeatedly issued a statement strongly dissatisfied with the South China Sea issue in India to intervene and issue a warning to India many times, but India despite China's strong warnings, insisted on the involvement of the South China Sea dispute, and India more oil contracts that also marks the public in India South China Sea and China break!

Vietnam Navy

The General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam visit, meeting with Chinese leaders in the South China Sea, Vietnam and India signed an oil agreement between the two countries has become the focus of the negotiations, and according to Chinese media display signals are transmitted, the performance of Vietnam to China a positive signal, agreed upon between India and Vietnam in the disputed South China Sea region cooperation in energy exploration project contract may be terminated or replaced. The Chinese government also passed an under 16 party newspaper of the Chinese media, editorial, interfere in this issue of China in India also increased the pressure on New Delhi intensity. This editorial pointed out, India is holding its own energy security risk. And under the "People's Daily" "China Energy Report" is written: "Because of the unknown sea of ​​oil and a challenge not only the behavior of emerging powers will lead to the devastating Indian Oil setbacks, and likely to make India as a whole Energy security has been destroyed, and blocking its economic development. "

India's desire to openly interfere in this issue is very clear, I concluded there should be four main reasons: Firstly, for the South China Sea oil and gas resources. Second: the joint in the South China Sea territorial disputes with China, the country together against China, and to provoke a conflict between China and neighboring countries, his boon. Third: the impact of the expansion in India, Vietnam or the Malacca garrison, if necessary, block the Strait of Malacca, the threat of China's maritime lifeline. Fourth: to open up the third war, a threat to the southeast coast of China, Sino-Indian border to break the military balance! But Vietnam seems to have Fangchuhualai, will terminate with India in the South China Sea oil agreement signed, once the South China Sea in Vietnam to terminate cooperation with India, India in all the South China Sea will be the blueprint seems to abortion!

U.S. warned Vietnam: China determined to recapture the South China Sea sovereignty as long as it is easy

The world's largest oil company in two - the United States, ExxonMobil and UK's BP, seems ready to ignore China's objection. Beijing has confirmed that the company had asked Exxon to take quiet rare in Vietnam, the Vietnamese state-owned oil companies with a common coastal oil exploration plans.

It is clear that is forced to issue a similar warning in Beijing, BP last year halted a territorial dispute on the grounds of southern Vietnam sea exploration program.

But on July 22 last year, that is, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Beijing opposes any \ "violate China's sovereignty over the South China Sea, sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the conduct \" the same day, BP's spokesman in London Reporters said the company's partners in China, Vietnam's state oil company has made the disputed re-start exploration blocks. The block is located in Vietnam and the Spratly Islands (Nansha Islands eleven wood newspaper I note), between about 370 km offshore.

China, Taiwan and Vietnam claim the entire Spratly Islands and adjacent waters sovereignty over Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei are from their respective claims to the nearest coast of the islands sovereignty.

In addition to all of the above outside Brunei countries have troops in disputed area. Have occurred over the last several decades of armed conflict and confrontation, which occurred in several major showdown between China and Vietnam.

However, the South China Sea disputes in the framework of ASEAN has been very successful control. However, the potential to temporarily shelved territorial conflict is becoming increasingly difficult, as the region's increasing demand for oil and gas, new technology also provides farther from the coast and in the deeper parts of the sea bed offshore oil field found in the means. Recently a large area of ​​the South China Sea are the most advanced offshore drilling platform capability and range.

And nineties of last century, the Chinese military may now be sufficient to defeat regional rivals, and thus win the South China Sea sovereignty, as long as China is determined to do so.

However, China's international reputation, the stability of Southeast Asia and maritime center region the relationship between China and ASEAN will have to pay what price?

Beijing probably will reaffirm sovereignty over the South China Sea after the initiative back. Although China is currently building its own deep-sea drilling platform, but the first such platform to be completed until 2011.

Beijing has publicly stated that there is more inclined to engage in the disputed waters of the common energy development, but also in the East China Sea with Japan last month to reach such an agreement. But in a place like the South China Sea countries and regions such a claim sovereignty over the area to reach a workable agreement, much more difficult.

At the same time, as China's onshore oil and gas production can not meet surging demand, China's domestic demands sovereign in its claim to oil and gas development offshore area the pressure is constantly large.

How to unlock the South China Sea, China, "knot"?

In fact, the South China Sea issue in itself is not complicated, the problem is that China's current situation restricts its South China Sea can take effective measures.

First, former Philippine President Fidel Ramos issued in the South China Sea issue, "the South China Sea tensions will be further upgraded" inappropriate remarks.

Then, Philippine President Corazon Aquino III and Prime Minister of Japan Yoshihiko Noda with a meeting, focusing on the South China Sea. Said the two countries, in view of the "China tried to expand the maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea", the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and Philippine Navy will be strengthened by means of regular consultations maritime security cooperation.

The two sides also issued a joint statement saying that he would further strengthen the strategic partnership. Analysts generally believe that the Philippines is formation of the South China Sea in La Union, Japan, fight against China.

For the Philippines in the South China Sea on the move by China's domestic media is extremely concerned. China's official newspaper of the country's most famous "Global Times" on September 29 on the front page with eye-catching title for the Philippines to visit Japan, South China Sea issue on the move published a detailed report.

The paper also planning a special "" South China Sea dilemma ": play or not play? , "Published in China focused on the different views of scholars on this issue. From the current situation, the experts point of view focused on the following two points: First, firm can not play, to "boil" down; two, now is the best time to use force.

Hold the first view of the experts believe, first of all, the war in the settlement of international disputes in the modern role of greatly reduced, to launch a war to resolve the dispute would be wasted. The experts also highlighted the U.S. war in Iraq, Afghanistan war evidence.

Second, the diplomacy to solve the problem in the South China Sea also play a role in space, a political solution has not yet closed the door, therefore, should not now resort to force.

Third, China's current and future period of time the most important task is to develop this end, China must create a relatively relaxed external environment to ensure economic and social development steadily. In this case, the war's unpredictable consequences will be severe impact on domestic development.

Finally, the U.S. has been the rise of the Asian countries of China's concerns, the formation of "Asian version of NATO", containment of China. If war broke out between China and its neighbors, just in the U.S. trap, will greatly worsen China's external environment.

Hold the second view of the experts believe, first of all, the South China Sea around the country are stepping up arms expansion, the ongoing war in the South China Sea is the accumulation of potential energy, small-scale war is the best way to release the potential of war. Play a few small battles, big battles could be avoided.

Secondly, the Chinese oil and gas wells in the South China Sea is not, therefore, to fight the South China Sea, China is not the biggest losses.

Again, the United States now is facing internal and external situation, unable to open a second front in the South China Sea, therefore, do not worry about China large-scale U.S. military intervention the South China Sea conflict.

Finally, China is now waging war in the South China Sea, there are legitimate reasons, legitimacy, therefore, should seize the opportunity to start.

There is no third solution?

In fact, the South China Sea issue in itself is not complicated, the problem is that China's current situation restricted their

South China Sea can take effective measures. Chinese decision-makers to consider not only the currently playing or not playing in the South China Sea issue, and more importantly, China's future development strategy will not change because of the problems.

China recently released defense white paper on China's peaceful rise to a detailed analysis, its purpose is to the outside world that China will not be because of his strong force of foreign invasion or conflict, the rise of China will be different from Western capitalist countries war rise of the road, but with Chinese characteristics, take the road of peaceful rise.

In this context, the South China Sea certainly is not fight. Otherwise, you say one thing, they will certainly do make their own set of carefully selected a dead end road of peaceful rise. Thus, the future development strategy would not have to re-adjust? The development strategy for the future to adjust how much of a risk in turn ah!

It really the South China Sea into a "dead end", destined to be eradicated? I do not think so, to solve the South China Sea is a systematic project, the author of this only made some of their own views.

First, China must be the outside world that China's peaceful rise does not mean unprincipled peace, tolerance of peace. Peace and war must understand the dialectical relationship. The key is not just war is, if China's territorial integrity was the threat of war, the Chinese do not resort to force to resolve it? In the South China Sea issue, China must show that China's attitude, so that relevant countries to know China's bottom line.

Secondly, the bottom line in that attitude at the same time, active in the South China Sea, China's military expansion. Only in the case of military advantage, the South China Sea will control the controllable range. Meanwhile, China should strengthen the administrative jurisdiction of the South China Sea islands, set up administrative jurisdictions, subject to the jurisdiction of the Central directly.

Once again, reiterated that China's political willingness to solve the South China Sea issue, and actively with relevant countries to expand the mechanisms for dialogue, to promote the related demarcation exercise. China proposed the demarcation work in the general principles and overall objectives, for example, China has always advocated the principle of mutual understanding and demarcation, setting short-term tasks, and actively promote Chinese enterprises to participate actively promote the development of the South China Sea oil field, to create a stakeholder body.

Finally, China should try to play down the conflict in the South China Sea colors, enhancing trust and work to enhance the intensity. For example, the Chinese military in the South China Sea can be related to the armed forces of countries like club activities.

Chinese enterprises and local enterprises can carry out similar activities and staff. Concerns for freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, China's situation can also be the official to the outside world that China will not hinder the freedom of navigation in the attitude of the South China Sea.

For the involvement of external forces, the Chinese simply do not want to show their attitude to the outside world to intervene. And most importantly, the relevant countries to control their domestic development of nationalism, nationalism should not be so tied up with foreign policy, or even the dominant foreign policy.

Goodwill But For Nibbling, China Is No Longer Need To Restrain Himself In Oil And Gas Development In Xisha And Nansha

China military: Based on years of research on the South China Sea issue, and the recent observation of the progress of the South China Sea situation, we can conclude: In addition to intensify exploitation of oil and gas resources of Pearl River Estuary and in water near Hainan Island, the time that China develop the oil and gas resources in Xisha and Nansha has come.

Aircraft Carrier has great significance to the South China Sea

For a long time, China has not developed Xisha and Nansha oil and gas resources, mainly due to political self-restraint on the overall situation and the lack of deep-sea oil and gas development technology, coupled with the oil and gas reserves within nine out of line is not clear. But now the situation has changed.

Paracel Islands are Chinese territory, Xisha Islands and since 1974 under the control of all in China, China announced in 1992, "Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone, the People's Republic," also identified the Xisha Islands of the territorial sea baseline. Based on "United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea," China has the right but also exploitation of the baseline within the exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles of oil and gas resources. Others on this issue should not be given a voice. China's oil and gas resources on the Xisha have a clearer understanding, but also have mastered the core technology of deep-sea oil and gas exploration. More importantly, China's overall situation of restraint and did not return for good returns, on the contrary, there is controversy in some countries of the South China Sea oil and gas resources continue to "erode." Therefore, China has no need for oil and gas development in the Xisha continue to exercise restraint.


Nansha is the focus of the South China Sea dispute, concerning the "six seven parties" (China, China Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, and although there is no occupation of the South China Sea islands, but some of their exclusive economic zones of Indonesia into nine out of line . after the "five-party" following referred to as "ASEAN Five"). South China Sea has not been a comprehensive exploration and evaluation of oil and gas reserves.


China and Taiwan has not been in the Nansha area of ​​oil and gas resources, but exploitation of the ASEAN countries is a strong supporter of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea. From the current situation, the ASEAN countries are likely to intensify exploitation of oil and gas resources in the Nansha Islands, both nine out of line outside the area, including nine out of line within the area. The Philippines in March this year, oil exploration ship beach exploration of ritual is an example of Vietnam and the Philippines has greatly strengthened its naval forces is a well known fact.


In the long run, ASEAN is China for the object, rather than the opponent. China's new security concept and good-neighborly neighbors neighbor policy does not become rich. But the Chinese have a clear understanding that "putting aside disputes and seeking common development" can be realized depends on the flexible and powerful means, in the Nansha oil and gas development, "in order to keep the struggle to seek unity is unity, unity and the unity and compromise seeking death." The existing management measures are necessary to strengthen the South China Sea, but not enough. Now need to take the steps are: first, to determine the number of Nansha block (preferred multi-country overlapping claims area, followed by North and ritual in the Wan-an Beach area); second, with the greatest sincerity and greatest concessions, invite controversial tripartite joint development institutions exploration and development; the third, a period of time, if the country has no intention to participate, then the unilateral international tender held in China; Fourth, if the tender is not satisfactory, then the Chinese should be separate development, and open the door to cooperation with the countries concerned.


First, the South China Sea oil and gas development is a political and strategic issues, followed by economic and technical issues. The situation now is that China has continued to allow no room for tolerance and restraint. The author's claim is certainly not the best way, but it is worth a try at this stage prescription.

China owns aircraft carrier will contain the idea of military impulse neighboring countries around the South China Sea

Defense Department spokesman confirmed that the aircraft carrier project has a low profile, and emphasizes the transformation of the aircraft used on the platform will be used for research and training. However, foreign public opinion is still the opportunity to hype the "China threat theory." This, naval experts to accept Mr. Wang Yunfei Global Network reporter interview that China's development of aircraft carriers will not only not a threat to other countries, the opposite would be more conducive to world peace and stability.

Chinese naval personnel boarded the Varyag aircraft carrier deck

China build aircraft carrier only beneficial to regional security
Mr. Wang Yunfei in an interview on the World Wide Web, told reporters that foreign carrier, said China's development will pose a threat to Asian security, but the opposite is true. If the carrier has said that China will be more conducive to regional peace and security and stability.
"First of all, is conducive to safeguarding peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, we have a carrier, the further development of Taiwan independence secessionist forces to curb the momentum." Viewing from stress, "the second, but also conducive to regional peace and stability in the South China Sea, because of China's national defense policy is defensive, in the South China Sea policy is very clear, that is, putting aside disputes and seeking common development, we will not even have a carrier to take the initiative to attack another country, but he will curb some of the country's military surrounding the South China Sea on the impulse idea, for example, further to seize the reefs, looting of resources, which is obviously conducive to regional security and stability in the South China Sea. "
"Third, the aircraft carrier in non-combat operations in a very unique role and if the next Asia-Pacific countries tsunami, earthquakes and other natural disasters or humanitarian crises, we can use with the carrier for humanitarian relief. Only from these three aspect is concerned, we can say that China has been the aircraft carrier will be more conducive to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. "
Chinese aircraft carrier does not pose a threat to U.S.
As to whether the Chinese aircraft carrier would be a threat to a superpower like the United States, Mr. Wang Yunfei, said: "The answer is obvious, will not." He explained, we are building the aircraft, regardless of the level of technology, equipment size and level of training, are with the large gap between the superpowers, for quite a long time, are insufficient to compete with.
"The balance of military capabilities is conducive to regional peace and stability, the imbalance of military capabilities is not conducive to peace and stability in the relative balance of power if the two sides in conflict, or the idea of ​​the use of force would be greatly reduced." Wang Yunfei said, "and the current actual is that China military capabilities in Asia, especially naval force, does not have the clear advantage. For example, aircraft carrier, India and Thailand have, Japan has 'days to' level quasi carriers, including the future of DDH (helicopter destroyer, also known as the helicopter carrier), South Korea has 'Dokdo' No. quasi carriers. In fact, the sea air capacity, we are at a disadvantage. "

Who Will Command China's Aircraft Carriers?

China has reportedly postponed the sea trial of its long-awaited aircraft carrier to an unspecified date in August. The Varyag, which was purchased from Ukraine and is under refurbishment at Dalian port, was widely believed to set sail on July 1 for a trial run. Ostensibly to demonstrate the Party's indispensible role in bringing about the “new China,” the date of the sea trial for China's maiden carrier was apparently planned to coincide with the 90th birthday of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Yet, due to mechanical difficulties or, in part, Beijing's concerns about regional anxieties over growing tensions in the South China Sea, the sea trial was reportedly delayed (Focus Taiwan News, June 30).

Chinese excellent pilot Captain Bai Yaoping

The rollout of China’s maiden carrier has been widely touted as a symbolic demonstration of the nation’s growing strength and maritime aspirations. To be sure, a single carrier has limited capabilities and, for that matter, limited utility in near-term tactical missions, and its development required a significant investment of economic as well as political resources. Conventional wisdom on China’s carrier plan suggests that the Chinese leadership did not put enough planning in personnel development, and therefore will face a lot of difficulties in operating a carrier group. A review of the training programs developed to cultivate the commanders for its aircraft carriers suggest an ambitious, meticulous and long-term strategy, however.

On March 31, 1987, Admiral Liu Huaqing, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy commander (1982-1988), submitted an internal memo to the PLA Staff Headquarters and National Defense Technology and Industry Committee on developing the core strengths of the PLAN, which included developing aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines (China Review News, May 22, 2009). According to a Jiefangjun Bao (PLA Daily) article in 2008, the Central Military Commission in May 1987 initiated the first and only “Pilot Warship Captain Class” (feixingyuan jianchang ban) at the Guangzhou Warship Academy. The program selected the military’s most talented pilots to undergo surface warship vessels leadership training. In other words, the Chinese military has been training navy pilots as aircraft carrier ship captains since 1987 (Sina.com.cn, June 26). Ten naval aviation pilots were apparently selected to attend the pilot training program. Nine pilots went through three and half to four years of training in naval aviation command, and were stationed in different command units to serve as deputy captains and then became captains of their aviation wings (Sina.com.cn, June 26).

The aircraft carrier program was delayed and these pilots were retrained and reassigned for destroyer commands. Most of these destroyer commanders are qualified naval pilots. This training background establishes a link between the Chinese aircraft carrier and destroyer—many captains and their deputies of Chinese destroyers were former naval pilots and are thus ideal candidates to serve as captains of China's aircraft carriers (Sina.com.cn, June 26). They have already gone through intensive training, and served on board naval vessels after graduating. Now most of them have close to 20 years of joint training experience, and serve essentially as the backbone of China's surface warship fleet. For example, Bai Yaoping is widely speculated to become the Chinese carrier commander. As a member of the class of ‘87 at the Guangzhou Warship Academy, most of the students who attended this class are close to their 50s, and to varying degrees have set the Navy’s standard as potential commanders. They are at a prime age and experience; most of them hold military ranks that are above colonel or senior colonel (Sina.com.cn, June 26).

The time and preparation that the Chinese leadership invested in cultivating these personnel may be one indication of a robust carrier plan. The time required to train and develop experience and skills is arguably longer than the development of some military technologies. While there are many variables involved in ensuring the operational success and effectiveness of an aircraft carrier not the least a carrier group, it appears that the command aspect of these vessels may not be a major issue. To be sure, there remains a long period of training, development and joint exercises before the carrier becomes fully operational. Yet, the prestige and importance that the Chinese leadership attaches to the carrier program should not be understated. Given the political capital that the Chinese leadership has clearly invested in the program, its funding and development would not easily be shelved again. Furthermore, there are indications that China may already be cultivating the subsequent batch of captains and pilots for its next fleet of carriers (See "PLA Navy Expands Recruitment Drive to Enhance Operational Capability," China Brief, May 20). Indeed, the pending sea trial for the Varyag will mark an important milestone as the first step in China’s effort toward becoming a global naval power.(By the Jamestown)

The possibility of military conflict in South China Sea after Vietnam military exercise

CHINA MILITARY: AFP, Singaporean Vietnam analysts David Koh believe that Vietnam military exercise  heats up  the situation of South China Sea. He estimates it will eventually lead to "confrontation at sea."

13 Voice of America quoted the Australian Defense Force Academy, Professor Thayer's words, the Vietnamese live-fire exercises, the next problem is that China will react. Thayer said, "If the United States to take measures, would allow China to take a tougher stance."

Taiwan's "United Daily News" reported on the 13th, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Chen Gong border shaft 11, urged Vietnam to remain calm, not force, to avoid the trap into China.

Thailand's "World News" reported on the 10th, most recently in Vietnam, the Philippines, repeated to the Chinese launched an attack, the Chinese dorsal by hostile forces. Some believe that China, South China Sea when Deng Xiaoping said, "putting aside disputes and seeking common development", is the issue of the South China Sea that China did not want to bullying the weak, but the South China Sea, Asian countries are not grateful.CHINA MILITARY

National University of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy Asia-Pacific security expert, said Huang Jing, although the United States called for freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, peace and stability, but the real military conflict, the United States can not intervene, because they do not meet U.S. interests.

Former Head of National University of Singapore Lee Lai to accept Taiwan's "Central" interview with reporters, said the South China Sea, although in Asia, time bomb, but the real risk of large-scale military conflict is not high. He said that although China has territorial issues in the tough, but there are many lined up to address global issues. He believes that China and the U.S. have more priority issues, as long as the present South China Sea, the sea lanes free, the U.S. will not be too deeply involved in the dispute.

12 Voice of America said that some political and military experts believe that more and more tense the situation in the South China Sea, although the possibility of war can not be completely ruled out, but not great. Living in the U.S. military commentator Lin Changsheng that there is no indication that China's military buildup in the South do to prepare to deal with conflict, so can not say that the U.S. aircraft carrier into the western Pacific Ocean, is for China.CHINA MILITARY

According to Agence France-Presse reported 14, in Vietnam and China tensions in the sea on the occasion, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, 13, signed a draft qualification documents. Agence France-Presse quoted the Vietnamese "people's army newspaper," 14 reported that "This document is not a mobilization order, but it illustrates what happens in war without military service. From August 1 it will take effect. "Under this order, there are eight types of people may be exempted from military service, including key government officials and child. AFP noted that the day coincided with Vietnam's Nguyen Tan Dung signed the military exercises.

According to Vietnam's 2009 Defense White Paper, the Vietnamese People's Army has 450,000 active duty, 5 million reservists (Vietnamese population of 86 million).

Agence France-Presse said that although Beijing has said 14 in the South China Sea issue will not use force or threat of force, but analysts still believe that the two sides increased the likelihood of conflict.CHINA MILITARY

China has been beared and forbeared for long time on South China Sea issue

CHINA MILITARY: China-Vietnam relations should learn from history, the history between the two countries have had "comrades and brothers" fighting friendship, also had enemies as enemies of the wounds. History has proved that cooperation benefits the both while confrontation can only bring hurt, the lessons of history should be learned.

PLA special forces landing exercises in the Sea beach

In the matter of the issue of China's national interests, China will never compromise, Deng Xiaoping once said something that "we should always put national sovereignty and security first." China is a peace-loving, but we must not fear the threat of force, by playing a few rounds to want to yield to the Chinese people are long gone.

South China Sea issue, China is the injured party, China has Yirenzairen, not to China forced patience. Eastern South China Sea countries have cultural heritage, should know that knowing the word "tolerance" meaning of the word, the South China Sea issue is the Chinese people's heart with a knife, we have always advocated in accordance with the "DOC" principled stand to solve the dispute through negotiations, But the parties do not go too far, insatiable. Show of force can only intensify contradictions, forcing disconnect the heart of the Chinese people on this knife. At that time, "Sword" is probably better than "light muscle," the consequences more serious. CHINA MILITARY 

Currently, the South China Sea "a sea of ​​the table," but the fact is, after all the facts, the South China Sea sovereignty belongs to me, without a doubt. A sea of ​​islands and reefs in the ownership of, international law is clearly defined, is to see "who first discovered and who first named, who implemented the first of its jurisdiction, whether the international community to give recognition." In these areas, China has sufficient historical and legal evidences South China Sea and Spratly Islands belong to China, even Vietnam before 1975 do not disagree with, the Vietnamese in 1960, published in 1972, "Map of the World "as evidence.

Why South China Sea, eventually become "problem"? Economic benefits or results. Preliminary estimates of oil reserves in the South China Sea -300 23.0 billion tons, belonging to the world's four major offshore oil and gas gathering centers, the "second Persian Gulf," said. CHINA MILITARY 

Vietnam in 2006 alone at least 12 million tons from the Nansha Islands in the oil and gas exploration. Took other people's things, but also irrational, and even punched opposite, the world where there is such a reason?

The conflict between the South China Sea countries, can be achieved through bilateral dialogue, and even argue to be resolved, "manhandled" is not a good result, not to China's restraint, misunderstood as a sign of weakness. South China Sea countries, it should be resolved in the region, there is no need to introduce external forces, the involvement of extra-territorial forces, can only make the problem more complex, the benefit of the parties will not be introduced. Rely on "beauty" the result of weight can only be relying on "beauty" from harm, warning, must be aware also. CHINA MILITARY

China should has the courage to dare to defend principle of sovereignty and multinational conflict

CHINA MILITARY: South China Sea has been relatively calm, the countries around have a certain tolerance of disputes about the islands, the sea friction has been pushed to less conspicuous location by regional cooperation. However, after the U.S. announced transactions involved in the South China Sea, the whole region like a strange chemical reaction occurred in Vietnam, the Philippines, the patient is being shown a strong impulse to replace. But the United States and recently said it would not break out in the South China Sea side of the military conflict in selected stations, Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries had to mobilize the sense of scale.

Below the South China Sea is an estimated $3 trillion worth of oil, gas and minerals

Perhaps that is why Hillary Clinton called "smart power diplomacy", the United States diplomatically with a few Asian countries continue to activate the demands of the South China Sea, the South China Sea to form the most consistent in the level of confrontation between U.S. interests and resentment, it is best Here's some countries as the U.S. puppet, the U.S. always be traders.

This region, especially in disputes with China, Vietnam, the Philippines should be clear, the United States does want to see the South China Sea Joint ASEAN countries to form a wall to go out of China. But the United States will not pay for the construction of this wall will pay the real reason is very simple, to spend "the money" and the interests of the United States does not draw an equal sign.


Now imagine Vietnam and the Philippines may be a military conflict with China is not very serious, but the idea of ​​U.S. warships to help Vietnam, the Philippines beat China and direct entry into the war, is completely far-fetched, it can only be Vietnam, Philippine nationalists desire.


Military intervention in other territorial disputes between sovereign states, which any country is the world's great adventure, while the U.S. and China this large country such as direct military confrontation, it is not a full consequences to pretend to be under the South China Sea. South China Sea, the United States is probably willing to point to troubles in China, but to weigh weighing Sino-US relations is the world stage, rather than this corner of the South China Sea.

No U.S. warships in the South China Sea as well as any place in the Western Pacific interests of third countries to attack the will of the Chinese warships, China-US relations is not to abandon the claim to sovereignty over their territory intention, which is the South China Sea a few basic lines of political image Other dazzling strokes, many are dispensable.

South China Sea should be calm all the neighboring countries, including China. Threat of war and war is the most useless things here, the sovereign requirements are rigid, the practical interests of all countries are complex and rich, today the island in the South to fight the battle in the 21st century cook-century out of date game let history make fun of the world.


The strongest regional military power as China advocates peaceful settlement of disputes through negotiations, other countries will respond by preparing for can not be considered rational. Hanoi and Manila did not know whether the clear, their actual behavior is unreasonable from the South China Sea, where talk of compromise about who becomes a strength, and who allies in many places. While the more power they may not be long term. CHINA MILITARY

China as a big country in the South China Sea, the action can not be subject to the constraints and the induction of any country, its principles must be very clear and stable. China and small countries should not be vindictive, can not be transferred to the United States against smaller nations. Not easily conflict with any country, but should also have the courage to defend their principles conflict with both the courage of many countries. China and the United States without breaking a long struggle, and small countries have the same patience and open-minded. The more trouble the South China Sea, the more the performance of China, where power and magnanimous.

BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhua) -- China on Thursday urged Vietnam to halt all acts which violate Chinese sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and the surrounding waters, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei.

Vietnamese Navy

China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and the surrounding waters, which belong to the South China Sea, Hong said, adding that Chinese fishermen have been fishing on the Vanguard Bank of the Nansha Islands from generation to generation.
However, Chinese fishing boats, while operating in the above waters, were chased away by armed Vietnamese ships on Thursday morning. Amid the chasing turmoil, the fishing net of one of the Chinese fishing boats got tangled with the cables of an Vietnamese oil exploring vessel, which was operating illegally in the same water area.
Regardless of the safety of the Chinese fishermen, the oil exploration boat continued dragging the Chinese fishing boat for more than one hour, with the latter's tail facing the front.
The Chinese fishermen, therefore, had to cut off the fishing net before the two vessels lost contact.
"This has seriously endangered the safety of the Chinese fishermen," Hong said.
The oil exploration on the Vanguard Bank and chasing away of the Chinese boats by the Vietnamese side have grossly infringed the Chinese sovereignty and maritime rights, Hong said.
Vietnam must stop all action that violates the Chinese sovereignty, he noted.
No more action is allowed to endanger the safety of the Chinese fishermen and their properties. And no action should be taken to amplify the dispute and make it more complicated, he added.
China hopes the Vietnamese side to make due efforts to safeguard peace and stability on the South China Sea, he said.

US-Vietnam military exercises proved just the trick of the U.S. to China

August 10, the United States, "McCain number" destroyer arrived in Da Nang in Vietnam. Officer to visit Vietnam, "McCain number."

Core tips

In the Obama administration, the current Asia-Pacific forces are balance, highlighting China's growing influence, the United States will be "marginalized." So the United States would like to get "East Asian balance" to the increasingly important East Asian to play a greater influence.


- Tao Zhao (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of American Studies Fellow)


Around the United States to China to build "C-shaped ring of encirclement" is not sensational, the media on this image to "the Asian version of NATO" is taking shape.


Sino-US relations that some people had expected "more mature", but of which contains a potential military crisis.

- Ni Lexiong (Shanghai Institute Professor of Political Science)

News pretext


Recent years, Sino-US relations spin "stir." With "Tian An" incident, the 15th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations with Vietnam, the U.S. military exercise in China's neighboring regions do indeed continuous "two-move more": With the ROK-US exercises strengthen the ROK-US alliance; inhibited the relocation of U.S. bases in Japan; Vietnamese troops with U.S. play "spoiler" South China Sea issue, and then form a "North and South contain" China's situation.

At the same time, U.S. public opinion towards China seems to become increasingly tough. For example, former U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN John Bolton recently in "The Wall Street Journal" published a very tough language "against China's roaring," the article.


Thus, the Sino-US relations are considered to have signs of growing into the fight. Whether the United States to adjust its China policy? The recent Sino-US "daggers drawn" in the end from what? What is the purpose behind the US-Vietnam military exercise? Round table this week, we invited two expert on Sino-US issue, explore the topic from different perspectives.


Purpose of the exercise: U.S. C-shaped surrounded by "Asian version of NATO" is formed


From the Yellow Sea, to the South China Sea, the U.S. aircraft carrier is triumphantly a variety of high-profile military exercise in China's periphery.


Ni Lexiong interviewed said that the current situation from the view, the United States and Vietnam jointly lightning, and have verified the United States in China's neighboring building "C-shaped ring of encirclement" is real, rather than sensational, the media have graphically described " Asian version of NATO "is taking shape.


He expressed concern expressed that China-US relations in some "maturing" of the expected, in fact, contains a potential military crisis.


Ni Lexiong said: "Despite the recent large-scale Sino-US conflict will not arise, but any conflict before entering the war will have a clear enemy of the. I strongly advocate that China should have a strong navy, to maintain deterrence in the South China Sea in order to change the United States military strategic situation is not balanced, consolidate the territorial seas. "


For the United States frequently, "Sword," the purpose of Ni Lexiong image that the Chinese martial arts used a similar scene: a formal duel before, the parties will not touch land for a few appearances, put a few Pose. United States is still in place Pose stage.


He explained that the military conflict in the United States suppressed the background, from a pragmatic point of view Obama administration, military exercises have become profit-making tools - such as seeking influence in the Asia-Pacific, the United States economic interests, made to seek compromise with China chips.

Decryption behind the scenes

China touches nerve United States

Dissatisfied with the Asia-Pacific pattern change

In the Tao-chiu, only a "Tian An" incident and other direct causes, the trend of Sino-US relations strained, fully reflects the changes in East Asia, the United States tried to "balance of power" aspirations.


Tao Zhao said that in the Obama administration, the current East Asian balance of power, the United States would like to get "balance in East Asia", with a view to the growing importance of East Asia to play a greater influence.

From Northeast Asia, the rapid development of China-ROK trade, China has become South Korea's largest trading partner; Japan had proposed the "East Asian Community" began to not even including the United States, these are the United States uneasy. In recent years academics hold the United States "on the Korean Peninsula to re-enter the Chinese sphere of influence" view, no doubt also contributed to the United States in East Asia seriously.

From Southeast Asia, Vietnam in 1973 after a long period of time, the U.S. lost interest in Southeast Asia, long neglected in Southeast Asia. On the contrary, cooperation between China and ASEAN economic integration has made substantial breakthroughs. In the U.S. view, China's growing influence in Southeast Asia underscores the United States is increasingly being "marginalized."


Tao Zhao pointed out that from Obama since he took office, America's "strategic balance" has been tilted to the East, Obama even called himself "Pacific president." Today, U.S. allies Japan and South Korea to consolidate, the US-Vietnam military cooperation, the United States to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN, etc., all indicate that the United States is promoting the "return to the East" strategy. Thus, the United States to return to action in East Asia, with China's interests would inevitably happen, "collision", and thus realize the United States to China, "prevent, contain, balance" the strategic objectives.


Future

Or will "compromise"

No need to overly pessimistic

The hardening of U.S. policy toward China, trying to change China policy statement, Tao Zhao pointed out that Obama foreign policy team currently no personnel adjustment, U.S. policy has not changed.


In addition, Tao Zhao believes that the voice of the American media has always been "odd", not because of media voices in a period to judge whether the strength of government decision-making, unless the sound is from the official.

High-level visits to resolve their differences

Tao Zhao said: "Many people prefer to use the 'contain' China policy description, in fact, the Cold War that have strong color, I think U.S. policy is 'to prevent, check and balance' a more appropriate description."

In his view, on the one hand, we must recognize the complexity of bilateral relations, but must also see that the Sino-US interdependence, mutual need and mutual constraints fact.


For the current Sino-US tensions, Tao Zhao researchers believe that after the struggle through a series of Sino-US eventually "mutual compromise", by mechanism of dialogue platforms (such as high-level visits, military exchanges, strategic and economic dialogue, etc.) to resolve or minimize their differences.

Against the status quo does not meet the real

Tao Zhao pointed out that the "compromise" U.S. diplomacy itself is an art to those who believe that Sino-US confrontation, or to "proxy war" view is too pessimistic, do not meet the real situation of Sino-US relations.


On the future development of Sino-US relations, Professor Ni Lexiong, two-handed U.S. policy toward China "containment and engagement," does not fundamentally change, there is the use of means of "phase change" (such as the recent U.S. military forces frequently show) This change is intended to achieve the higher interests of the United States more or pave the way for cooperation.


The lessons of history


To be truly responsible big country


Stop the allies act rashly


For the current "North-South pincer attack" situation, Ni Lexiong that the source of a series of events, dates back to inter-Korean sudden "Tian An" incident.


"Tian An" incident occurred, although in the end who led the South Korean frigate sank in that there are disputes, but South Korea has found that the "culprit", in order to demonstrate enhanced the prestige of high-profile win over the United States joined the exercise.

Historically, before the outbreak of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand June 28, 1914 assassination in Sarajevo, and then lost control and eventually became the event of war.

Although the situation is unlikely to lead to war, can not be completely analog, but small alliance between the frequent accidental loss of control, from the interactive nature of the hostile relationship between the structure of view, and "Ferdinand the incident" similar.

From a historical perspective, the country really wants to take great responsibility for peace, should be wary of such "Tian An" incident occurred out of control, to try to stop the alliance of small countries "to act rashly."

Sino-US "proxy war" is absolutely not alarmist

In the next period of time, war happened between China and the U.S. is not alarmist. Most likely, yes, the planning in the United States under the substantial Lingtu with China, the territorial sea dispute surrounding countries, because the issue of sovereignty conflict or even war with China may also be known as "Dan Bian proxy war."



Expansion through war is the nature of the United States. American scholar Wei Lianen Doyle in "hegemony led" the book says: The great social transformation of the scale, the U.S. has been transformed into belligerent Sparta State. The transformation and transition in a hundred years ago, and profound influence, at least the next hundred years will be affected.


The United States a dozen years ago, a well-known think tank submitted to the U.S. government a very detailed strategy toward China, the road map in three steps: first step is to divide and the westernization of China, the Chinese community as a whole to lose against the will; if the first step does not work, the second step is the formation of strategic encirclement around China, forcing China into the U.S. strategic orbit; not work if the second step, third step is at a war with China, but the best way is not directly war, instigated vital interests with China disputes with neighboring countries in conflict, or instigation of ethnic areas in China's internal turmoil.


Now the U.S. is in accordance with the three steps in the walk around the building, including in China, "C" type encirclement, and with China's neighboring countries have maintained close political and military relations. United States military embargo on China, but then let go around the supply of Chinese arms, armed them with weapons. In addition, the United States on China's Tibet and Xinjiang separatist forces in support. These are the U.S. grand strategy in part.


From the present situation, the United States is the "anti-terrorism" in the name of additional military bases in the surrounding areas of China, various large-scale military exercises. The military exercise is basically covered all the operational mode. United States not only in political and geo-political efforts, and military R & D also in full swing. In the United States, was carried to China as the hypothetical enemy's large-scale space war exercises and network warfare exercises, and develop the next generation of laser guns and other weapons of new concepts. This preparation is a direct threat to China is overtly or covertly stirring words against small countries surrounding China. Such as the US-ROK military exercise that is tailored to the Chinese, China's combat against the theory of direct examination, the United States through a second military exercise to test its theory of operation. The Clinton's speech on the South China Sea issue, clearly shows that the United States this hidden fighting stance. China's increasing pressure in the surrounding.

China's national interests, the United States do not respect, pressing harder and harder, arming neighboring countries, condoned the challenge China's interests. Important interests in safeguarding China in many ways to no to. Party is endless pressed, while the other has no escape route. China can not because the other side is the United States, it will involve themselves in the legitimate interests of endless concessions. China has always been on the war is imposed on themselves the courage to meet, and this is reasonable. If the United States still does not converge, the two countries is entirely possible conflict or even war in the future.  (Daixu, the writer is a strategic analyst at the Chinese Energy Fund Board.)

If the matter does not occur, there may no war with China and the U.S. in the South China Sea

South China Sea issue, since China's position as China's core interests, the United States in the ASEAN forum have also done a dark edge exposed position, together with several ASEAN countries echoed off a controversy, so far finding banks.


China's economic rise, the politically have more say in global affairs, the military also have a faster and greater development than in the past. in the seven claims of Foreign Minister Yang Jiechif, the description on the normal economic exchanges of China and South China Sea all the countries is a fact, but China ignored that the Chinese navy in the military, especially the development of military issues, and the South China Sea countries have not reached a military mutual trust, of course, can reach is another question. South China Sea countries have rapid development of China's military power uneasy, which gave the United States to return to Asia, a good appearance opportunities, there is the ASEAN forum That sort of a small storm.


For the United States, Asia, the global interests of the United States has important strategic significance, the balance of power in Asia because of China's rise has been broken, the United States do not want to see.

But the Asian Ye Hao, Southeast Asia, Ye Hao, has been divided does not exist a simple camp boundaries, different countries in Asia to different threats have different feelings. The strength of the United States to Asian countries realize that the opposite side stood the United States will certainly not good, but in China has become the reality of economic power, and not to the advantage against China.


Do not forget, many Southeast Asian countries still believe that their non-aligned policy is a contribution to world peace. Therefore, unless there is also a threat to the interests of China's large-scale move, Southeast Asian countries will not simply stand in line and then form an alliance.


For China, South China's core interests, sovereignty is bound to uphold, but the timing and strategy is important. If, as some people say it, learned this lesson that, in the United States has already announced high-profile return to the case of Asia, only the South China Sea countries have all pushed aside, the Chinese completely useless.


China should use the ancient wisdom, in the development of sea power at the same time, vertical and horizontal alliances, without splitting, and the South China Sea, the parties to find their starting point, strive to maintain a dynamic balance, waiting for the right time to solve the problem.


Some people say there must be a South China Sea, Sino-US war, in fact, the national interests of the United States claimed the right of navigation in the South China Sea, Sino-US interests in the South China Sea is a collision, and no sovereignty dispute, the sovereignty dispute over the national interest than in the U.S. mutual orientation Today has been a significant change, competition and cooperation will soon be full of contradiction and coordination, cooperation is the mainstream of the case, even if there is a conflict, it will not happen so fierce outbreak of war confrontation. To be sure, the United States will not be used by other countries.

Historically, the rise of emerging powers and the existing collision between the interests of hegemonic power, may not have decided the outcome of war, Anglo-American relations is an example. Anglo-American relations Sino-US relations and of course there are many different, but it is undeniable that the current China and the common interests between the United States is more than ever, the two tied and dependent on economic relations, so that even if the two countries have a strategic impact of conflict, both sides will soon be adjusted, before and after the change in location Multimodal speech and the two military tone of the cooling is also an example.


The United States will not have a future war, the vagaries of the world in terms of now, no one is difficult to predict. 20 years ago, who would think of the rapid rise of China will return two years ago, who knows the economic crisis the world has such a big hit, and the world to re-shuffle. With so much uncertainty in terms of, 10 years later 20 years development of the world probably is not that people are now able to predict.


China and the U.S. are from the wisdom of a large country, although all of the strategic objectives of each, each with the national interests of all, the hard-line hawks on both sides Sheng Yin, both sides have claims strongly the voices of moderates, Zao Cheng Guan Xi Shang-US inevitable ups and downs, new controversies arise, the South China Sea is just the latest in a contentious point.


However, for now, on the United States is, after all, there is a general principle and direction that both parties feel that their interests have extensive and significant differences between the great power, stability and sustainable development of bilateral relations is the basic line their own strategic interests and practical interests.


Therefore, the United States despite the dispute over sea power, but as long as no major reversal of U.S. South China Sea would not have "a war" theory. (From China Military Report )

Japan made plans for China to make the U.S. "shut up"

July 2009, the U.S. and Malaysian armed forces in joint exercises held in the coastal areas of the South China Sea.

People's Liberation Army exercises the South China Sea: Modern Ship Launching Missile

Japanese magazine "Diplomat" on August 2 to comment, saying the Chinese as long as cool, calm and maintain its influence in Southeast Asia can deal with the United States to intervene in this issue.

"Diplomat" in the article entitled "China to make the United States" shut up "," the article pointed out that the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the July 23 Association of Southeast Asian Nations forum in remarks on the South China Sea issue, China and the U.S. relations have entered a more awkward time, while the U.S. wants to interfere in this issue is the attitude angered China.


Reported that the reason why China expressed anger Hillary's remarks, on the one hand because the United States suddenly referred to the South China Sea, "surprise", on the other hand also because some members of the United States and between ASEAN closer than China. Nevertheless, Beijing should not interfere with its own sense of anger, because the United States never actually made it clear that he would intervene in the South China Sea, so the relevant policy will not change substantially.


Report commented that the best response on the matter of China, is the expansion of the U.S. government's diplomatic counterattack, to ensure its influence in Southeast Asia. In the past decade, the Chinese in the area to maintain high economic status, and its national image has been due to government diplomacy has improved significantly. On this basis, if China and ASEAN to maintain a "code of conduct for the South China Sea", you can defuse the United States launched a "diplomatic storm."

China at present should not express "core national interests"

China Military Report: Recently, people can often hear the "core national interest" argument, and thus lead to some discussion. From some reports, if the not the word to express the core national interests, would seem unpatriotic, or at least seriously inadequate. As everyone knows, "core national interest" who might abuse, but not conducive to the maintenance and expansion of the national interest.


First, some core national interests are not publicly stated. The United States is the world's super military power. In order to maintain its superpower status, the United States was refining its national interests. Based on "the American people the protection and promotion of freedom and security in a country where the survival and well-being" on the extent of the interests of the U.S. National Commission on its national interests into "vital interests" and "vital interests", "important interests "and" secondary or secondary interest "4. Nevertheless, the United States did not publicly specify the kinds of "refining interests" of specific content. Similarly, Russia has become an independent State attaches great importance to national interests. Putin took a phrases are the most commonly used is "Russia's national interests," but Russia has never clearly announce its specific national interests. It can be said to do so, to the Russian national interest to maintain and expand its logistics left a wide space.


Compared with the United States military capabilities, military capabilities but also in many ways worse. If open core national interests, will use diplomacy and the military have caused many other passive. The use of military means of war, the deterrent is the most common form. If the conflict involves two sides announced that the core national interests, the situation will develop into "anyone who is not afraid of" proportions. At this time tend to lose the deterrent effect. Therefore, China should not publicly explain the specific content of core national interests.


Second, the open core national interests of the specific location is not conducive to safeguarding national core interests. China has repeatedly announced that the national sovereignty, security, territorial integrity and development interests are owned by the state's core interests. This is the same for each country. But the core interests of each country without the specific content of same. At different times, different national interests and specific interests in the ranking is different. Therefore, in order to protect core national interests, China is still premature to disclose the specific content of core national interests. This is mainly because:


China does not yet have all the core national interests to maintain the capacity. As a result of our heritage can not reach a certain level of technology without some excavation of underground cultural relics, as China's overall national strength, especially in military capabilities, not enough to safeguard the core interests of the state. As China's comprehensive national strength, especially in the improvement of military power, can have plans to open core national interests. For example, you can enhance national capacity as "partial" open to those capable of safeguarding China's core national interests.


Moreover, the importance, the interests of national interests can be divided into core and non-core interests. If you are bent on upholding the core national interests, in reality, may cause an optical illusion: the core interests not only concerned about the importance of non-core interests. Indeed, as China's integration into the international community, China and other countries is bound to follow the collision of interests between the increase. In this case, our country must safeguard its national interests rather than national core interests.

Experts: China's Navy is no shortage of military forces in the South China Sea now

Chinese Navy submarine cruised in the waters of Xisha

Recently, the South China Sea fishery resources around frequently swallowed, some countries in Southeast Asia continue to purchase more advanced arms, the threat of force to attempt to curing the fact that its occupation. The recent "Modern ships" magazine quoted, "Jane's Yearbook ships" and other public data, the exposure in the South China Sea, the East China Sea and Yellow Sea maritime rights and interests and I dispute the existence of the country's naval military.

Rights policy to the South China Sea first

June 20, in the waters of the South China Sea, the traditional eight Chinese fishing boats were detained in Indonesia. "In fact, neighboring countries to arrest the situation of the fishermen has been very common." Borderland History and Geography Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Research Center, said Li Guoqiang, deputy director.

It is understood that in the South China Sea disputes at sea against the backdrop of growing, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries have set up specialized agencies of the marine rights, and even direct the use of the military control of the surrounding seas, frequently using Chinese fishermen surgery. "Catch and release, put another arrest, this was actually a kind of sovereignty they believe the so-called oath." Said a Chinese navy.

Fisheries resources in the South China Sea around frequently swallowed, how China should do? Recently it was suggested that "in the South China Sea to build a military airport, cruise port," to strengthen its military presence in the South China Sea.

However, Li Guoqiang, the Chinese navy do not think the lack of military means in the South China Sea. He pointed out that, at present, our country does not lose in the military in any country around the South China Sea, the People's Navy has sufficient strength to defend the interests of sovereignty. The crux of the matter is that "putting aside disputes and seeking common development" does not implement the principle of position.

He said that currently under consideration by the Standing Committee "island Protection Act", this law may be forthcoming on the strengthening and consolidation of China's sovereign status in the South China Sea is of great significance.

Many people are in an interview that "the South China Sea issue requires a long-term, comprehensive planning, including fisheries, environmental protection, oil and gas exploitation, as well as plans for emergencies and so on, if there are no such comprehensive plan, most of the time we can only be fatigued to deal with. "(according to" International Herald Tribune ", Xinhua)

"Southeast Asia Nansha Group" forming looming

Loosely organized, but a common goal attempt on the sovereignty dispute in the Spratly Islands to form a concerted effort to contain China

Frequently reported in the near future fisheries dispute behind, in fact, have implied a fierce dispute over sovereignty. Professional military media in Malaysia, "Kuala Lumpur, security reviews," recently published in the text that more than one country and loose but a common goal of non-traditional actors may be looming in the shape - "Nansha group in Southeast Asia."

Indonesian naval vessels

Australia-New Zealand or the United States and Japan maybe join it

The article is given to the concept put forward three reasons: first, Malaysia and Vietnam in May with the delimitation of the continental shelf to the United Nations Committee on the proposal, Malaysia and Brunei in the South China Sea overlap the border talks are a breakthrough this year, showing the Nansha Islands in Southeast Asia States compete for the spirit of cooperation in Southeast Asia, the ratio of non-member countries have a better synergy.

Secondly, the article maintains that there is no dispute over sovereignty in the Spratly Islands in the region but have the influence of the United States, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, also believes that to maintain freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and the open channel is the fundamental interests of the four countries.

The article also believes that if China held in the Nansha issue of hard-line position, will act as a catalyst in forming this group. The article also warned that the second and third factors may lead to "the Nansha group in Southeast Asia," expanded to "anti-China Nansha Group" to join the United States, Japan, Australia, Singapore and other countries.

"Kuala Lumpur reviews security" is a registered network in Malaysia, the military and news media centers, and even Malaysia to focus on security affairs in the region and strategic development. The media in this year's "Shangri-La Dialogue" during an interview with the South-East Asia and the United States, Australia, and other military officials, many Asia-Pacific region.

Australian Defense Force commander-in-chief Angus Houston said the general to the magazine, Australia's interests in the South China Sea in the region is to maintain the stability of the wider, including the dispute over sovereignty has always been the Islands have to make this important global maritime Road to continue to maintain an open and free to use.

Southeast Asia's largest country, Indonesia's defense minister also made it clear that Sudarsono, Indonesia has long been involved in the South China Sea. He said that the Nansha Islands for the prevention of conflict into a dispute over sovereignty of Indonesia over the past 15 years organized a series of ASEAN-related consultations in the South China Sea dispute.

The United States engaged in air defense shield in the South China Sea

As the United States, while Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the United States in the dispute over sovereignty of Nansha's position is that "The United States has no position", but the United States this year sent out a rare four Aegis destroyers with the Southeast Asian countries hold military exercises in the South China Sea.

The Malaysia phase of exercise has been carried out on June 23, 1600 the United States officers and soldiers mobilized, "Xiafei" and "Yun" No. 2 Aegis destroyers, P3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft and the F/A-18 Hornet fighter exercise.

June 28, Ma United States naval fleet gathering in the South China Sea to start formation sea drill series. Experts said the navy ships, Aegis destroyers in the South China Sea, another meaning is that should war break out, U.S. naval vessels in the South China Sea could be the formation of an air defense shield.

China and US govern the South China Sea altogether is a plot the same as G2

China and US govern the South China Sea altogether is a plot the same as G2

Some time ago, the individual countries proposed China and the United States should set up G2 Group, Professor He Liangliang (Hongkong) recently also proposed for the South China Sea, "China and the United States govern together beginning from the South China Sea", which both recommended the same, absolutely infeasible.

Sovereignty is the unique and exclusive, "China and US govern altogether" ,Why not start from the American national territory, but start from the Chinese South China Sea? This is not flagrant betrays country the opinion? Anticipated that Chinese and the American two point world, realizes condominium world this not is the G2 naive idea, what is different, “China altogether governs stresses on politics, the military”, “G2 stresses on the economy”, but regardless of which one is the procedure which present's China should not permit.

Today, China became more powerful, but compared with America is very small and weak, we fell behind in many domains world many countries beside United States, this was the fact, could have a swelled head in no way, is put up on the highest post which by others treated as an equal with the US, was no different with has tossed into oneself the fiery pit, on Western world “anti-Chinese” snare, achieved extinguishes China's ultimate objective.

In fact, "China and the United States administration" is the result of being Chinese American governance, this is not the telling of lies, are at an undisputed fact that, compared with the United States, we do not have the hardware and software administration requirements, and eventually was acquired the governed.

For this plot and the subjugation of speech, or at least in my opinion as well.

Hong Kong media said the United States must acknowledge that the majority of waters of the South China Sea belong to China

Hong Kong, "Wen Wei Po" published comments on the 19th article said that China protect themselves in the South China Sea maritime rights and interests, are all the people will also have the corresponding capacity. Do not attach importance to the past because of its maritime rights and interests, but also because of strength not strong enough, resulting in the South China Sea and surrounding countries in many small countries competing are eaten Chinese island situation, and these countries are behind the shadow of the United States. The article pointed out that there is only one protagonist in the South China Sea is China. Most of the South China Sea belong to China, the United States must recognize this premise.
Article are summarized below:
Chinese to protect themselves in the South China Sea maritime rights and interests, are all the people will also have the corresponding capacity. Do not attach importance to the past because of its maritime rights and interests, but also because of strength not strong enough, resulting in the South China Sea and surrounding countries in many small countries competing are eaten Chinese island situation, and these countries are behind the shadow of the United States. Japanese official claimed that if the Diaoyu Islands by a high-profile attacks, the United States will work with the joint defense of Japan and is also dragged into the United States to the sovereignty dispute between China and Japan.
American scholars have suggested that the 21st century the world's center stage are the Indian Ocean, while China and India will be the protagonist of this stage, the U.S. Navy in the Indian Ocean's role is to ensure that balance, to ensure that the peaceful rise of China and India do not lead to war.
The Indian Ocean are Chinese imports of oil and external main export routes, the strategy of great significance, however, there is no Chinese territorial waters in the Indian Ocean, so you can set up the United States, because China is not the expansion of the Indian Ocean, as with Pakistan, Myanmar friendly relations and cooperation, it is another matter.
But the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean in different circumstances. There is only one protagonist in the South China Sea is China. Most of the South China Sea belong to China, the United States must recognize this premise.
Or ask, as a superpower the United States, self-appointed police of the world's five oceans, why the United States to recognize China's sovereignty over the South China Sea it?
