An open and free South China Sea will help deepen China's economic and trade exchanges with regions and establish China's maritime state status.At a seminar at the East Asian Research Institute of Singapore's East Asia of Singapore yesterday at a seminar yesterday at the Yusov Isa Easa East South Asian Institute in Singapore, some scholars suggested that China should abandon the nine -segment line of the South China Sea.In exchange for strategic advantages.

China and the United States have recently been heating up in the military wrestling of the South China Sea, and China and the Asian Simpan countries have also stiffened on the sovereignty of the South China Sea.In his speech at the meeting, Li Nan pointed out that China ’s nine -segment claim in the South China Sea is the main friction point of China and the Asianian country, and adhering to the nine -stage line is not necessarily beneficial to China.
Since 2013, China has constructed at least seven artificial islands in the South China Sea disputed waters, and new land of more than 2,300 acres, and builds military facilities in some islands.Li Nan pointed out that these actions will cause China to fall into the dilemma of offense and defense.In China, these facilities are only used as defensive purposes, but other countries will regard it as an offensive.Instead of China's defense facilities, the counterattack of other countries has caused China to continue to invest in resources to protect these outpost bases.
Li Nan believes that if China abandon the nine -segment line proposition, it will be more conducive to consolidating China's soft power in the Asianian region.
He explained that China intends to strengthen its status as a maritime country and is also one of the world's largest trading countries. Give up the nine -segment line helps to promote free sailing and promote regional economic and trade exchanges.China can also strengthen the relationship with the ASEAN countries and strengthen its influence in the region.
Clark: China will not give up easily in the South China Naval Activity
Clark believes that China has invested a lot of resources in the South China Sea, so it will not easily abandon military activities in the region.He pointed out that even if the US Democratic presidential candidate Bayeng won in the November presidential election, the tension between China and the United States in the South China Sea is expected to not significantly cool down.Even though Biden decided to put a soft posture on the South China Sea issue, China may not be able to reduce military activities in the district accordingly.
Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang proposed in 2018 that within three years, that is, before the end of 2021, he completed the negotiation with the South China Sea Behavior (COC) of the South China Sea.However, the negotiations between Yajia'an and China have not seen significant progress. In addition, the crown disease epidemic has caused all the original negotiation meetings from February to October this year. Scholars believe that COC is difficult to reach within the time limit.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged each country to exclude all interference in August this year and restart the COC consultation as soon as possible.The Yellow River pointed out that China has recently adopted a more positive attitude on the issue of COC consultations. It is mainly to emphasize that the dialogue mechanism between Asia's and China and China does not want third -party countries to take the opportunity to intervene in the South China Sea issue.
