The South China Sea has been China’s inherent territory since ancient times. Let’s talk about the importance of the South China Sea in terms of resources and location.

Analysis of the Importance of the South China Sea to China 1. Background The South China Sea is the most complicated ocean in the world and involves the most countries. Since ancient times, disputes over the sovereignty of the South China Sea have never stopped. Recently, due to the intervention of countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam in the South China Sea sovereignty dispute, the South China Sea issue has once again entered international public opinion. Why have Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam frequently launched attacks on China recently to compete for sovereignty over some South China Sea islands? Perhaps the most important reason is the word "interest". The significance of the South China Sea to neighboring countries is self-evident. Its strategic location and rich oil resources are enough to bring opportunities for rapid development to neighboring countries. Regarding the recent disputes in the South China Sea, I will analyze the importance of the South China Sea to China based on my personal understanding.

2. The importance of the South China Sea to China 1

Maintain China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The South China Sea has been a part of China since ancient times. From China's Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the South China Sea has been China's territorial waters. China's Ming Dynasty navy has sailed through the South China Sea to the Western Ocean many times and is the only legitimate force in the South China Sea. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it was legal and orthodox for the monarchs of the Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea to accept the canonization of the Chinese central government. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the countries surrounding the South China Sea were A vassal state of the central government of China. The South China Sea Islands have been China’s sacred territory since ancient times. The Chinese people were the first to discover these islands and reefs, and have worked diligently to develop and manage these islands and reefs for generations. The Chinese government was the first to exercise jurisdiction and exercise sovereignty over these islands and reefs. The so-called Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea have sovereignty over the South China Sea. It's just illegal and unreasonable. The primary significance of the South China Sea to China is to declare its sovereignty over the South China Sea and maintain the unity and indivisibility of China's sovereignty. 2. The South China Sea has a superior geographical location and is of great significance to China’s economic and political development. From an economic sense, with the acceleration of economic globalization, ocean transportation routes are becoming more and more important. However, any route from China to the sea is faced with heavy siege. If we want to achieve rapid economic development, we must You must have your own ocean route under your control, and the South China Sea is the best choice. From a political point of view, there are many countries surrounding the South China Sea, and it is also an important way for us to interact with South Asian countries. Properly handling the South China Sea issue can expand China's sphere of influence in the South China Sea and enhance China's international influence. 3. The South China Sea is of great significance to our military strategy. The South China Sea has a long coastline with numerous targets for attack, and it faces many South Asian countries that may pose a military threat to us at any time. Only by firmly controlling the South China Sea islands can we build a long line in front of our long coastline. line of defense. 4. The South China Sea is rich in oil and fishery resources, which is of great significance to the development of my country’s marine economy. The South China Sea is rich in oil resources, which is necessary for modernization and economic development. Since there is no energy, we buy it from Russia and the Middle East. However, our own South China Sea has been developed by other countries. Not only the surrounding small countries are developing, but also the South China Sea. They also used so-called joint ventures and other methods to invite the United States, Britain and other countries to jointly exploit, and a large amount of oil resources were handed over to outsiders. Secondly, in addition to oil resources, there are also rich fishery resources. In the deep blue ocean, there are countless kinds of fish, which can be called gold in the water. Although it is far away from our country’s land, there are still countless Chinese fishermen. Despite the difficult climate and the risk of pirates and seizures by other countries, we went there to fish. However, my country's development is still in the minority, and a large amount of fishery resources are still occupied by other countries. Therefore, the rich resources of the South China Sea contain great economic benefits. The competition for the ownership of the South China Sea is also a competition for economic interests. If China controls the resources of the South China Sea, it will have a certain economic inhibitory effect on the development of surrounding countries. 5. The sovereignty of the South China Sea will affect the issue of Taiwan's reunification. The South China Sea is located at the southernmost tip of my country, far away from the mainland and Taiwan.

On the South China Sea issue, Taiwan's top leaders have always paid close attention to it. As a Chinese compatriot, Taiwan has also always attached great importance to the sovereignty of the South China Sea. On this issue, the mainland and Taiwan have the same language and the same goals. It has a solid foundation for cooperation and is also a link to further enhance the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Resolving the South China Sea issue is of great significance to Taiwan's early return.

3. Summary The South China Sea issue cannot be resolved overnight. The Chinese government has always advocated peaceful negotiation to resolve international disputes. In accordance with this spirit, China has resolved territorial and boundary issues with some neighboring countries in a fair, reasonable and friendly manner through bilateral consultations and negotiations. This position also applies to the Nansha Islands. The Chinese government has also put forward the idea of ??"shelving disputes and pursuing joint development" and is willing to temporarily shelve disputes and cooperate with relevant countries until the disputes are resolved. China advocates that all relevant parties adopt a restrained, calm and constructive attitude on the Nansha issue. In recent years, Vietnam, the Philippines and others have sent troops to seize some uninhabited islands and reefs in the South China Sea, destroyed China's sovereignty markers on the uninhabited islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands, and seized or used force to drive away Chinese fishermen operating in the South China Sea. In this regard, China has always insisted on passing Use diplomatic channels to discuss and resolve relevant issues with relevant countries in a peaceful manner. The South China Sea issue is an issue between China and relevant countries. The Chinese government has always advocated resolving differences with relevant countries through friendly bilateral consultations. China and relevant countries are fully capable and confident of properly handling each other's disputes. Peace and tranquility in the South China Sea can be maintained for a long time
