The main reason why Japan proposes to develop oil and gas fields in the East China Sea is that China has developed oil and gas fields without Japan's consent. Japan believes that the oil and gas resources in the East China Sea should be shared by China and Japan, not unilaterally developed by China. In addition, there has been a dispute between China and Japan over the delimitation of the East China Sea, and the two sides have different views on how to demarcate the border. According to theUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaContinental shelfIt is the basis for demarcation, and this method is a reasonable way to restrict. However, Japan believes in accordance withContinental shelfThe delimitation is not in its favor, since on the Japanese side, there is a trench in the Ryukyu Islands, which makes Japan have nothing in the East China SeaContinental shelf, resulting in almost no exclusive economic zone. China, for its part, insists on following the rules of theUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the Seato resolve disputes. However, Japan insisted on the median line in the East China Sea as the demarcation line, which led to a dispute between the two sides.
Although China's oil and gas fields are located on the Chinese side of the East China Sea, Japan continues to block China's development. Japan has made a false claim and called it the siphon phenomenon. They claim that if China develops its own oil and gas fields, it will siphon off oil and gas resources from Japan. In fact, it can be seen that Japan's oil and gas fields are located in low-lying places, and if they are extracted, it should be Japan that has sucked oil and gas resources from our side. This is a complete fallacy. China follows the ".United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea".Continental shelfOn the basis of this, the exclusive economic zone that we have is very vast, and what Japan hasContinental shelfMuch smaller, one might even say zero. However, Japan has always been entangled in this issue, and various disputes with China have been constantly involved. China also wants to work with Japan to develop this issue, but Japan insists on going its own way and creating contradictions. Therefore, Japan's proposal is only to use the development of oil and gas fields as an introduction, elevate it to a political event, and blame China for it, which is Japan's real purpose and conspiracy.
On this issue, we must emphasize that China has the right to develop oil and gas fields in its own exclusive economic zone, and no country has the right to accuse us, and there is no need to blame us. We can decide for ourselves how to develop our resources. We have only been patient for a long time because we are just thinking about Japan's face. However, if Japan insists on going its own way and continues to provoke, I am sorry, and we do not need to tolerate it any longer. We have the right to choose our own actions, and as the Japanese side, they can stay as long as they want, and stay as comfortable as they want.
As a self-editor, I have some personal insights into the events raised by Japan. First of all, China's development of oil and gas fields in the East China Sea is in line with thisInternationallaw, in accordance with the ".United Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaChina has the right to exploit resources in its own exclusive economic zone. This does not require the consent of other countries. There is no legal basis for the ** proposed by Japan, but only out of its own interests. Second, Japan has been taking a hard line on the East China Sea issue, trying to encroach on China's resources. This behavior is unacceptable. China has always resolved disputes in a peaceful and cooperative manner, and hopes to jointly develop oil and gas fields with Japan. However, Japan's stubbornness and short-sightedness have exacerbated the controversy, undermined relations between China and Japan, and affected regional stability. In the end, China remained calm and restrained in the face of Japan's provocations, and showed the bearing of a great power. As a Chinese, I am proud of the strength of the country and the wise decisions of the leaders.
In short, Japan's efforts to develop oil and gas fields in the East China Sea are only part of its continued provocation against China. China has reasonable rights and interests and the right to develop resources, and we are determined to defend our territory and interests. In the face of provocations, China has taken a rational approach, while also urging Japan to respectInternationalFrance and the re-establishment of friendly relations. It is hoped that through the efforts of both sides, the East China Sea issue can be properly resolved, the development of bilateral relations will be promoted, and regional peace and stability will be realized.
