The dispute between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands and the South Korean issue of Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef
The Japanese government provoked a dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, which led to the rupture of relations between China and Japan, which almost led to a conflict. Now that the Diaoyu Islands are under China's de facto control, Japan can no longer make too many waves. However, this is not the only territorial dispute around China. South Korea has long occupied Suam Reef and Hyuga Reef, two islands that are effectively part of Chinese territory and rich in sediment and fishery resources.
The Diaoyu Islands: China is in de facto control, Japan is struggling
The Diaoyu Islands, historically China's inherent territory, have been part of China since ancient times. However, Japan has been trying to "legalize" it illegally. The waters around the Diaoyu Islands are rich in fishery resources, such as sea bass, shrimp, anchovy, etc. To this end, the Japanese government has mobilized national power to try to turn this resource area into a "blue ocean" for its exclusive use. However, China has resolutely defended the mainland's territorial sovereignty and secured de facto control over the Diaoyu Islands through legal means. Now that the Diaoyu Islands are under Chinese control, Japan can no longer turn them over.
South Korea's occupation of Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef: unreasonable invasion of Chinese territory
In the territorial dispute around China, not only Japan, but also South Korea has created a lot of waves on the territorial issue of the other two disputed islands. Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef are strategically located in the territory of the South China Sea and are rich in sediment and fishery resources. However, South Korea has dominated the two islands for more than two decades. This behavior is regarded by the Chinese government as an unreasonable occupation of Chinese territory.
Relations between China and South Korea were tense for a time, but while the mainland adhered to its principles and defended its territory, it also showed a certain degree of restraint and wisdom. The mainland government has repeatedly called on the ROK to respect history and international law and immediately return the reefs to Soam and Hyuga, but the ROK has never made a substantive response. Such acts of hegemony not only damage the friendly relations between China and the ROK, but also seriously violate international law and the universally recognized principles of the international community.
Safeguarding territorial integrity and sovereignty is the inevitable mission and responsibility of every country. We call on the international community to treat these territorial disputes justly and support China's legitimate defense of its territorial and sovereign rights and interests. Only by virtue of justice and fairness can we promote peace and stability in the international order, prevent territorial issues from turning into conflicts, and make historical and practical contributions to regional cooperation and prosperity.
There is no consensus on the dispute between China and South Korea over Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef
South Korea has carried out a series of illegal actions, including setting up a navigation buoy at Suam Reef and illegally naming it "Off-Island" and illegally building an offshore platform at Hyuga Reef. These actions constitute a serious violation of China's territorial waters and long-standing territorial disputes.
Multiple rounds of negotiations between China and South Korea have failed to reach a consensus: South Korea has repeatedly sat on the ground and raised prices
China and South Korea have held several rounds of negotiations over the dispute over Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef, but the two sides have failed to reach a consensus. South Korea has repeatedly sat on the ground, delayed the handling of the matter, and was unwilling to stop illegal naming and illegal construction, which seriously undermined the willingness of the two sides to cooperate in the negotiation process. Such acts not only impede the demarcation process in practice, but also trample on international law and the norms of conduct permissible by the international community.
China's coast guard and military aircraft declare their sovereignty and resolutely safeguard their own interests
In order to safeguard its territorial sovereignty and prevent South Korea's illegal actions, the mainland has dispatched coast guard ships and military planes to declare its sovereignty on many occasions. This resolute action is intended to warn South Korea to stop violating China's territorial waters and territorial sovereignty, and to show that the mainland will not compromise or back down from any illegal territorial encroachment.
However, South Korea has turned a deaf ear to China's warning and continued to promote illegal acts, seriously hampering the progress of the demarcation of the border between China and South Korea. The mainland government resolutely demands that the ROK respect historical facts and the norms of international law, immediately stop its illegal actions, and is willing to resolve disputes with the ROK through dialogue and consultation, so as to promote the sound development of Sino-ROK relations.
The failure of China and South Korea to reach a consensus on the dispute over Suyan Reef and Hyuga Reef fully demonstrates the mainland government's steadfast attitude towards defending its territory and sovereign rights and interests. China will not tolerate any country's illegal occupation or challenge to our territory, and is willing to work with the international community to uphold international order and justice. It is hoped that the ROK will take into account the overall situation, abandon illegal actions, resolve territorial disputes through dialogue and consultation, create a good atmosphere for the development of Sino-ROK relations, and achieve regional peace and stability.
