The main reason for Japan's proposal for China to develop oil and gas fields in the East China Sea is that China is developing them without Japan's consent, while Japan believes that oil and gas fields in the East China Sea should be shared between China and Japan. However, China and Japan have been in dispute over the delimitation of the East China Sea. According to theUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaThe East China Sea is oneContinental shelfway, should be:Continental shelfHowever, Japan insisted on using the median line of the East China Sea as the demarcation line. Japan thinks in accordance withContinental shelfDemarcation is not in its favor, since the presence of the so-called Ryukyu Islands Trench on the Japanese side leaves Japan with little exclusivity in the East China SeaEconomyDistrict. China, on the other hand, has fully complied with theUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaHowever, Japan insisted on going its own way and insisted on using the median line of the East China Sea as the basis for demarcation.
In modern timesInternational Law, the principle of delimitation of maritime boundaries is based on:Continental shelfPrinciple. Continental shelfRefers to the natural continuation of sedimentation under the sediments of the Luke Chong as the land extensive. According to theUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaThe territory of the state includes land, inland sea, territorial sea, and exclusivityEconomyarea, which is exclusiveEconomyZone refers to the distance from the countryCoastlineWithin 200 nautical miles of the sea, the country is in its exclusive possessionEconomyThe district has rights and permissions. In accordance with the regulations, the stateContinental shelfIn their own exclusivenessEconomyThe extension can extend up to 200 nautical miles or 200 nautical milesContinental shelfedge, with corresponding benefits. Therefore, when delineating maritime boundaries, it should be based on:Continental shelfPrinciples for demarcation.
Japan mistakenly believes that China's oil and gas field development will cause a siphon phenomenon on Japan, that is, China's oil and gas field development will siphon Japan's oil and gas field resources. However, the fact is that Japan's oil and gas fields are located on relatively low ground, and if there is a siphoning phenomenon, it should be Japan sucking away China's oil and gas resources. This argument is completely untenable.
China follows the ".United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea", in accordance with the relevant principles of demarcationContinental shelfprinciple, China has a vast exclusive position in the East China SeaEconomyarea, and Japan ownsContinental shelfMuch shorter, one might even say zero. However, Japan has been constantly entangled with China on this issue, creating various disputes. China wants to jointly develop oil and gas fields in the East China Sea with Japan, but Japan insists on going its own way and constantly creating contradictions. The reason why Japan proposed the so-called ** is just to willEconomyThe incident escalated into a political incident and blamed China again, and this is where Japan's real purpose and plot lies.
Siphoning is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics in which the area of low pressure attracts the surrounding fluid to the inflow, creating an effect similar to using a straw to absorb water. However, in oil and gas field development, the siphon phenomenon does not apply. Oil and gas fields are concentrated areas of underground oil and gas resources, and their exploitation will not have a significant impact on the surrounding geological conditions. The development of oil and gas fields is related to the stateEconomyEach country has the right to carry out relevant development activities within its territory.
China in its own exclusive possessionEconomyThe development of oil and gas fields in the region is completely legal, and no country has the right to blame or interfere in this. China has always exercised restraint in dealing with this issue and respected Japan's face, but if Japan insists on going its own way and continues to provoke, China will also take resolute measures to defend its own interests. China wants to solve this problem through joint development with Japan, but Japan has blocked the possibility of allowing China to develop oil and gas fields on the Chinese side of the median line of the East China Sea. Japan proposed ** just to willEconomyThe incident escalated into a political incident and further blamed China.
China stresses that on the issue of delimitation in the East China Sea, in accordance withContinental shelfprinciples for demarcation, in full compliance with the T".United Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaandInternational Lawprinciples. China has a vast expanseContinental shelfExclusiveEconomyarea, is legal and has the right to carry out the development of oil and gas fields. China insists on developing resources in accordance with laws and regulations and looks forward to win-win cooperation with its neighbors, while Japan's unilateral actions will only exacerbate regional tensions.
China has always adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence and is committed to resolving territorial disputes and maritime delimitation issues through dialogue and consultation. China's claim is based onInternational LawPrinciples andInternational LawDiscretionDelineationIslandsbetween maritime demarcation, claimedInternational LawProvide coastal States with fair and equitable opportunities for resource allocation. China adheres to an open and inclusive attitude and is willing to work with neighboring countries to jointly develop oil and gas resources in the East China Sea for mutual benefit and win-win results. However, Japan has been interfering with and blaming China's legitimate actions and provoking regional tensions.
The motivation behind Japan's proposal for China's development of oil and gas fields in the East China Sea is not just becauseEconomyincident, but in order to elevate it to a political event, further blaming China. China's development of oil and gas fields in the East China Sea is completely legal, followedInternational LawPrinciples andUnited Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea". China has always exercised restraint and hoped to jointly develop and resolve disputes with Japan, but Japan has insisted on going its own way and constantly creating disputes.
In dealing with maritime issues, we should build a peaceful and stable regional order based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and consultation to resolve them. China is willing to work with neighboring countries in the East China Sea to jointly maintain peace and stability in the East China Sea and achieve common development and prosperity through dialogue and cooperation.
