More recently, VietnamSpeakersand the Paracel Islands on ChinaSpratly IslandsClaiming "sovereignty", this move has sparked widespread concern and controversy. However, the Chinese side has already emphasized the peace with the Paracel IslandsSpratly IslandsIt is China's territory, and Vietnam's claims are completely absentLawsand historical basis. ChinaSpeakersWang Wenbin clearly responded to theseIslandsIt has been China's territory since ancient times, and China continues to exercise its sovereignty. China firmly opposes any illegal territorial claims and will continue to defend its territorial rights and interests.
However, Vietnam's statement this time is indeed puzzling. Relations between China and Vietnam have been relatively stable in the past, and the two sides held high-level dialogues in 2013 to express their desire to further improve relations through joint efforts. However, this time Vietnam's "demonization" has made people wonder. Perhaps with the currentThe situation in the South China Seacomplexity. On the one hand, the United States and other countries have publicly stated that they want to intervene in the South China Sea, and the Philippines has reached an agreement with the United StatesMilitaryThe Philippines has also signed memorandums of understanding with Canada and Japan. These actions suggest that outside forces are trying to put pressure on China over the South China Sea. As a result, Vietnam may want to benefit from U.S. involvement in the South China Sea.
On the other hand, Vietnam may also be influenced by the Philippines. The Philippines has frequent provocationsSouth China Sea, but also with external forcesMilitarycooperation, these actions have brought tangible benefits to the Philippines. Vietnam may mistakenly believe that following the example of the Philippines would reap the same benefits. At present, Vietnam is only a verbal probe, but the possibility of sending ** provocations like the Philippines in the future cannot be ruled out.
This act is temporary, thoughThe situation in the South China SeaThe impact is modest, but it is still alarming. The stability of the South China Sea issue is facing various challenges, which may be the reason why the Philippines has taken a series of special measures that have led Vietnam to mistakenly believe that it can act recklessly. The Philippines is inSecond Thomas ReefChina's special control based on humanitarian principles may have emboldened Vietnam to be arrogant in the South China Sea. This incident has once again proved the importance of safeguarding one's sovereignty with concrete actions.
In short, the Paracel Islands andSpratly IslandsIt is China's inherent territory and will not tolerate any illegal claims. China has made it clear that it will firmly safeguard its sovereignty. At the same time, Vietnam should be vigilant and take corresponding measures to avoid further escalation of the situation. The South China Sea issue is related to regional peace and stability, and all countries should resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation, rather than through provocation and contention. China will firmly safeguard its territorial and maritime rights and interests, and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
Recently, Vietnam's unreasonable claims to China's territorial "sovereignty" have aroused widespread concern. This begs the question, what is the confidence behind Vietnam? In fact, Vietnam's claims to Chinese territory are groundless, it has neither historical basis nor groundsLawsIn the tank.
First of all, from a historical point of view, China has a relationship with the Paracel Islands andSpratly IslandsThere is a strong historical and jurisprudential basis for sovereignty. As early as ancient times, these were discovered in ChinaIslandsand gave the corresponding name, development and operation. China has effectively managed and governed the South China Sea since the Tang Dynasty, and Vietnam cannot deny this. In addition, China has also suffered aggression in recent history in the South China SeaIslandsIllegally occupied. However, after the victory in World War II, China resumed these revivalsIslandsof sovereignty.
Secondly, according toInternational LawChina has full territorial rights and interests in the South China Sea. 《United Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaIt clearly stipulates that China has sovereignty and rights and interests over the South China Sea. Vietnam's illegal claims to Chinese territory are the sameInternational Lawcontradictory. The international community is also wary of Vietnam's claims, believing that Vietnam's behavior in the South China Sea is unreasonable.
So why did Vietnam make such a move? On the one hand, Vietnam may be instigated by external forces to try to gain some economic or geopolitical benefits from this incident. The Philippines' cooperation with the United States and other countries has misled and enlightened Vietnam, making it mistakenly believe that it too can benefit from the South China Sea issue. On the other hand, Vietnam may have a combination of internal and external factors in the hope of consolidating its domestic political position through its claims to Chinese territory. However, such an act is undoubtedly contrary to the facts, and the international community will not support it.
To sum up, Vietnam's claims to China's territorial sovereignty are groundless. China has sufficient historical and legal basis to defend its relationship with the Paracel IslandsSpratly IslandsAny illegal claim to Chinese territory is unreasonable. China will continue to firmly safeguard its territorial and maritime rights and interests, and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea. At the same time, the international community should remain vigilant against Vietnam's unreasonable claims, avoid further escalation of the situation, and resolve the South China Sea issue through dialogue and cooperation.
