British scholar Bill Middot; Haydn proposes that if the scope of the disputed waters of the South China Sea can be reduced, it can create conditions for peacefulness and joint development.(Provided by Haydon)
British scholar Bill Middot; Haydn believes that the existing "freedom of navigation" is not effective enough.He pointed out that in March this year Vietnam invited American aircraft carrier Karwinsen to visit Laogang to escort its oil development activities, but one week later, Chinese aircraft carriers Liaoning and 40 warships entered the South China Sea.Cancel the drilling oil operation.
British scholar Bill Middot; Bill Hayton believes that the practice of US warships to the South China Sea has completely unable to scare China, and the existing "freedom of navigation" is not effective enough.
Haydn is a researcher at the Chatham House Research Institute of Chartham International Institute of Think Tank.He revealed at the lecture on the Beijing Foreign Journalist Association in Beijing yesterday that Vietnamese insiders told him that China had threatened last June that if Vietnam continued to minimize oil resources, it would be countered by China's force.This year, Vietnam originally hoped to use the U.S. military to escort it for its development of petroleum resources. As a result, it was toughly responded by China, which was forced to stop shouting for millions of dollars.
Vietnam signed a contract with the Spanish National Petroleum Corporation of Spain, ready to perform oil drilling operations in a disputed waters with China.In order to make the drilling operation from being disturbed by China, Vietnam invited U.S. aircraft carrier Calvinson to visit Puggang in March this year.
However, just one week after the Calvinson left the South China Sea, the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning and 40 warships sailed into the South China Sea, and Raposor immediately announced the cancellation of drilling operations.
Haydn said: "The existence of the Karvinson in the South China Sea cannot play any scary."
When the three Chinese warships passed the British Geely Strait last July, they exercised the "United Nations Convention on the Marine Law" to give warships "the right to pass the sea for harmless" other countries to lead the sea, and was not blocked by the British or France along the coast.However, when the Royal Navy entered the baseline scope of China in accordance with its national laws this year, it was driven away by China.
When Haydn had previously discussed the above dual standards with Zhou Bo, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Zhou Bo's response was: "We comply with your law, you must also abide by our laws."
Zhu Feng, dean of the Institute of International Relations of Nanjing University, said in an interview with the "Lianhe Morning Post" that the reality is the case. Which waters of the vessels should be complied with local laws.He pointed out that in addition to China, there are more than 20 other countries in the world, which also requires that ships of other countries are required to declare before entering the country's waters.
Haydn said that from the perspective of Vietnam and the Philippines, Southern Asian sovereign countries, they are more concerned about whether it can develop oil and gas resources contained in the South China Sea, rather than the difference between international law and Chinese law.
For example, about 20 % of the power supply from the Philippines comes from the natural gas mining of Malampaya from the South China Sea, and Malanbaya's natural gas resources are expected to be exhausted in seven years.If the Philippines failed to reach a consensus on the development of energy resources with China before, it will face sub -superior situations such as insufficient power supply, need to use foreign exchange import energy, and relying on coal with strong pollution.
Haydn proposed a solution to the sovereign dispute of the South China Sea: countries can retain individual islands and reefs that have been occupied.The scope from the "nine sections" to the centers of the South Shasha Islands as the centers, thereby reducing overlapping with the exclusive economic zone of other countries, avoiding friction, and creating an environment that is conducive to common development of resources.
Zhu Feng believes that this proposal is not operable, and all countries take the scope of their claims as a whole. It is impossible to abandon part of it, even if it is "quiet".
