Three Principles for Solving the South China Sea Problem

The three principles for solving the South China Sea issue are:

1. Regarding the South China Sea issue, the attitude of the authorities has always been clear. First of all, the territorial and maritime claims of the South China Sea must conform to international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

2. We expect all claimants to settle disputes in the South China Sea peacefully. "We advocate the inclusion of Taiwan Province Province in the multilateral mechanism for peaceful settlement of disputes".

3. All sonar parties have the obligation to respect the freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea.

The South China Sea issue is very complicated and difficult to solve, not only because it involves many countries, but also because there are American offshore balancers manipulating it in secret. From Obama's Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy to Biden's Indo-Pacific strategy, its core is to use the contradiction between China and neighboring countries to balance China.

The so-called South China Sea dispute mainly refers to the disputes between China and Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and other ASEAN member countries on the ownership of the South Island Reef and the delimitation of sea areas.

The original South China Sea dispute did not exist. For thousands of years before World War II, the South China Sea has been the activity area of China people. However, in the decades after World War II, due to the prominent importance of the ocean, some Southeast Asian countries took advantage of geographical convenience and robbed a number of islands.

At that time, China's naval and air forces were too weak to effectively prevent these islands and reefs from being occupied.
