Preface
Recently, a collision of ships in the South China Sea has caused heated discussions, and the parties involved in this incident are with major eastern powers. It has been learned that the collision occurred in the waters off Ren'ai Jiao in the Nansha Islands, and at the time of the incident, a fishing boat illegally entered the territorial waters of the eastern powers in an attempt to deliver supplies to the illegal "beached" warships of the eastern powers. In this incident, the fishing vessels of the parties were seriously damaged, while the law enforcement vessels of the eastern powers were not greatly affected. In the face of such a situation, the party went so far as to demand that the eastern powers pay $1 million in compensation, and also demanded that the eastern powers return the seized weapons. So, as ordinary people in the outside world, how should we view this ship collision in the South China Sea? Who exactly went wrong in this incident? Let's take a look.
1. Cause of the incident
The collision occurred on July 4 in the South China Sea in the waters of Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands. At that time, a fishing boat from the Eastern Power illegally entered the territorial waters of the Eastern Powers and also attempted to deliver supplies to the illegal "beached" warships of the Eastern Powers, and such an act was undoubtedly very dangerous and provocative. After the law enforcement officers of the eastern country found the fishing boat, they immediately went to stop it, and repeatedly warned the fishing boat, asking them to leave the territorial waters of the eastern country immediately, but the fishing boat did not heed the advice of the law enforcement officers, but accelerated its escape and tried to flee the scene. Faced with such a situation, the law enforcement vessels of the major eastern countries had no choice but to take coercive measures and successfully intercept the fishing boats, avoiding more serious consequences. However, in the process of interception, the fishing boat took the initiative to accelerate and attempted to ram the law enforcement ship of the eastern power, which eventually led to the collision of the vessel.
II. Claims
In this ship collision incident, the fishing boat was seriously damaged, and the law enforcement vessels of the eastern powers were not greatly affected, and in this case, the party unreasonably demanded that the eastern powers compensate 1 million US dollars, and also demanded that the eastern powers return the seized weapons. According to the provisions of international law, the party is completely unqualified to demand compensation from the eastern powers, after all, it is the fishing boat that illegally entered the territorial waters of the eastern powers, and also tried to deliver supplies to the illegal "beached" warships of the eastern powers, and such acts have violated the laws of the eastern powers, and it was the party's wrongful behavior that led to the occurrence of this ship collision incident, so the parties are not qualified to demand compensation from the eastern powers at all, not to mention that they also demand that the eastern powers return the seized weapons. Such a request is simply whimsical.
3. The response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In the face of the claims, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Eastern powers also responded as soon as possible, and made it clear that the claims were completely unreasonable, and they were completely bandit logic. The foreign ministries of the eastern powers have also lodged solemn representations with the authorities, demanding that they immediately stop all provocative acts, and also demand that the parties thoroughly investigate the incident and severely punish those involved in the case to ensure that such an incident does not occur. After the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, more and more people began to pay attention to the ship collision incident and expressed their support for the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believing that the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very reasonable, and it was also very powerful, completely on the side of international law, and could effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the major countries in the East.
Fourth, the heated discussion of public opinion
As soon as the collision of ships in the South China Sea came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens, who expressed their views and opinions on social platforms. In the comments of netizens, there are many people who are very dissatisfied with the behavior of the aspect, they think that the request of the aspect is simply whimsical, completely unreasonable, and it is also a very shameless behavior. They have made all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule about the side, hoping that the side will wake up as soon as possible and stop all provocative acts. After the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Eastern powers, many people began to have a heated discussion on the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, believing that the response of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was very powerful and could effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the Eastern countries.
5. Reflection on the event
Through this ship collision incident in the South China Sea, we should have a deeper understanding of international relations, after all, in international relations, exchanges between various countries are very frequent, and there may be all kinds of contradictions and frictions. When a similar collision occurs, both parties should remain rational, conduct full communication and negotiation, avoid blindly being emotional, and cannot arbitrarily make claims for compensation, which will only exacerbate the conflict between the two parties and will not help solve the problem. After all, there may be more complex geopolitical and territorial disputes behind the collision incident, which need to be resolved through multilateral dialogue and cooperation, rather than blindly emphasizing one's own rights and interests, let alone taking unilateral actions, which will only bring great threats to regional security and stability.
epilogue
Through this collision of ships in the South China Sea, we should have a deeper understanding of international affairs, and we should also be more aware of the complexity and sensitivity of international affairs. In similar incidents, we should also learn to speculate on problems from various aspects, instead of blindly believing unilateral rhetoric, still less being swayed by emotions; only by remaining calm and restrained can we better safeguard the interests of the country and make positive contributions to the settlement of international affairs. It is hoped that through such an event, more people's attention to international affairs can be aroused, and everyone's enthusiasm for international affairs can be stimulated, after all, the development and change of international affairs are inseparable from everyone's participation and efforts
