Beijing, March 21 / PRNewswire-Asianet /– title: expose the lies and conspiracies of the Marcos government on the Huangyan Island issue
Reporter Liu Zan
Recently, the government of Marcos in the Philippines has continued to provoke trouble on the South China Sea issue, including on Huangyan Island in China’s Zhongsha Islands. China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and their adjacent sea domain names, including Huangyan Island, and has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the names of the relevant sea areas. The Marcos government’s claim of sovereignty over Huangyan Island is purely vexatious, and it is a backlash to discredit China on issues related to Huangyan Island and the South China Sea. Relying on provocative forces outside the domain name to stir up trouble on the South China Sea issue will only undermine regional peace and stability and lack the support of regional countries.
Vexatious plot to encroach on islands and reefs
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on the 5th that the Philippine Senate passed the so-called maritime zone domain name bill in a vain attempt to solidify the illegal award in the South China Sea arbitration case in the form of domestic legislation, illegally including the names of most islands and reefs and related sea areas in China’s Huangyan Island and Nansha Islands into their maritime area domain names, seriously infringing upon China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea. The Chinese side firmly opposes this and has made solemn representations to the Philippines.
Since the beginning of this year, the Philippine Marcos government has been constantly provocative on Huangyan Island. On January 28, four Philippine personnel illegally intruded into the reef disk of Huangyan Island; from February 2 to 9, the Philippine Coast Police vessel 9701 illegally intruded into the domain name of the sea adjacent to Huangyan Island; on February 15, the Philippine Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau 3005 vessel illegally intruded into the sea domain name adjacent to Huangyan Island; from 22 to 23 February, the Philippine Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau 3002 vessel illegally intruded into the sea domain name adjacent to Huangyan Island. In these intrusive activities, Philippine vessels ignored the dissuasion and warnings of Chinese coast guard vessels, and when the warnings were invalid many times, the Chinese coast guard vessels took necessary measures to drive away Philippine vessels in accordance with the law, such as forcing outside the prison and route control. on-site operation is professional, legitimate, and rational and restrained.
China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and their adjacent sea domain names, including Huangyan Island, and has sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the names of the relevant sea areas. These sovereignty and rights and interests are formed in the long-term historical practice and have sufficient historical and legal basis. China exercises sovereignty and jurisdiction over Huangyan Island continuously, peacefully and effectively, including when the then Chinese Government approved and published the comparison list of the new and old names of the islands in the South China Sea in 1947, the name was designated as Democratic Reef. When New China announced some place names of the islands in the South China Sea in 1983, the standard name was Huangyan Island.
The territorial scope of the Philippines is determined by a series of international treaties, such as the 1898 Treaty of Peace between the United States and Spain, the Treaty on the cession of the Outer Islands of the Philippines in 1900, and the Treaty on the Boundary between British North Borneo and the Philippines in 1930. The South China Sea islands, including Huangyan Island, have never been part of the territory of the Philippines. Before 1997, the Philippines never challenged that Huangyan Island belonged to China and never made a territorial claim to Huangyan Island.
In April 2012, the government of Aquino III of the Philippines sent warships into the sea domain name near Huangyan Island, illegally arrested Chinese fishermen and fishing boats and inflicted serious inhumane treatment, deliberately provoking the Huangyan Island incident. Aquino III government launched the South China Sea arbitration case in 2013 and tried to deny China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea with the so-called arbitration results in 2016. However, territorial disputes do not fall within the adjustment scope of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and maritime delimitation disputes have also been excluded by China’s relevant declaration made in accordance with the Convention in 2006. The Philippine side’s move is a malicious abuse of the dispute settlement mechanism of the Convention and a violation of international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The so-called arbitration ultra vires trial, perverts the law judgment, the so-called award is illegal and invalid.
Rumors and hype try to discredit China.
In order to discredit China, the Marcos government made up lies. Nazario Brigera, a spokesman for the Philippine Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Bureau, said on February 17 that Chinese fishermen used cyanide to fish on Huangyan Island and deliberately damaged local fishing grounds to prevent Filipino fishermen from fishing in the area’s domain name. However, Tariela, a spokesman for the Philippine Coast Guard, admitted to the Philippine media that the Philippines did not have any investigation or evidence to prove that Chinese or Vietnamese fishermen used cyanide fishing on Huangyan Island.
China attaches great importance to the protection of ecological and fishery resources in the South China Sea. China has implemented a summer fishing moratorium in the South China Sea since 1999, according to the White Paper “China insists on resolving disputes between China and the Philippines through negotiations” issued by the Chinese government in 2016. By the end of 2015, China had established six national aquatic nature reserves, six provincial aquatic nature reserves with a total area of 2.69 million hectares, and seven national aquatic germplasm reserves with a total area of 1.28 million hectares in the South China Sea.
The so-called environmental problem is just one of the tactics used by the Marcos government to discredit China. The Philippine side has tried every means to portray China as a bully in the South China Sea and dress itself up as a weak person who has been oppressed in an attempt to mislead international public opinion and put pressure on China.
Recently, Philippine ships often take reporters to report and hype when they invade Chinese islands and reefs, calling the reasonable and legitimate law enforcement measures of the Chinese coast police violent eviction. The British Radio has reported that allowing reporters to film close contact between Chinese and Philippine ships is part of a deliberate strategy by the Philippine government to draw attention to China’s brute force.
In fact, China has been committed to resolving the South China Sea issue through dialogue and negotiations. In 2002, China and ASEAN countries signed the Declaration on the Conduct of parties in the South China Sea, jointly promising that the sovereign countries directly concerned should resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes peacefully through friendly consultations and negotiations. In recent years, China and ASEAN countries have actively promoted consultations on a code of conduct in the South China Sea. On the other hand, the Philippine side reneged on its commitments in the “Declaration” and a series of bilateral documents with the Chinese side, insisted on invading Chinese islands and reefs, and deliberately rammed the Chinese coast guard ship in defiance of dissuasion and warning, and what it did can be called a modern story of farmers and snakes.
Maintaining the stability of the South China Sea is in line with the national interests of the region
The Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic zone of the global economy, and maintaining the stability and prosperity of this region is not only in the national interests of the region, but also conducive to global economic development. The Marcos government relies on forces outside the domain name to deliberately infringe, provocation and smear the South China Sea. Some countries outside the domain name continue to encourage and support Philippine actions based on their own geopolitical interests, aggravating tensions in the South China Sea and seriously endangering regional peace and stability.
Recently, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar has repeatedly criticized the West for inciting fear of China. Anwar also said that there is no problem between Malaysia and China, and Western countries should not hinder the development of friendly relations between Malaysia and its important neighbor China.
Anwar’s statement reflects the common aspirations of most countries in the region for peace, development and unwillingness to take sides. Weng Desheng, a political commentator in Singapore, said that the economic development of ASEAN countries benefits from the hard-won peaceful and stable environment, and all countries should strive to maintain such an environment, and dialogue and negotiation is the best way to deal with the South China Sea issue.
Anna, deputy director of the Philippine Asian Century Strategic Research Institute, pointed out that interference by forces outside the domain name is an important reason for increased tensions in the South China Sea, which not only complicates the South China Sea issue, but also undermines the unity of relevant countries in dealing with the South China Sea issue. Forces outside the domain name should stop using the Philippines as a pawn and agent for strategic competition with China, and the Philippines should not be used by external forces.
