To safeguard the sovereignty of the East China Sea, we must not give way

Introduction: in early October, Japan's minister of economy and industry, Shoichi Nakagawa, publicly said: Recently, China is shipping a large number of oil pipelines to the "disputed waters of the East China Sea" These pipelines are "very likely" to be used to transport oil and natural gas to the mainland of China, which is bound to cause controversy Nakagawa also said: Japan has asked Beijing to explain this, but Beijing has not responded to the request to open the world map of East Asia It can be found immediately that the Chunxiao oil and gas field established by China in the East China Sea is very far away from Japan's mainland, which is relatively close to the Ryukyu Islands, which have already been assigned to Japan, and the Diaoyu Islands, which are currently the most controversial between Japan and China, and closest to Zhejiang and Shanghai, China The continental shelf of the East China Sea is located between China, Japan and South Korea It is rich in aquatic products, oil, natural gas and rare mineral resources In recent years, Chinese explorers have discovered seven oil and gas fields on the continental shelf of the East China Sea, according to China Chunxiao oil and gas field, which was first developed in China, is one of them Strictly speaking, the "disputed sea area" in the East China Sea does not include Chunxiao and other four oil and gas fields, but refers to the sea area east of the "middle line" According to the international law of the sea, China's continental shelf naturally extends to the east of the "middle line", and China has the right to develop the continental shelf resources within its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone The International Convention on the sea gives us indisputable sovereignty over the resources of the East China Sea However, Japan covets the resources of the East China Sea, and its ambitions are obvious I think it should be considered from the following aspects: first of all, we should clearly tell Japan our bottom line position, that is, according to international law, China has all the resources of the East China Sea continental shelf (West of the Ryukyu trench) We will not compete with Japan for the territory and resources to the east of the Ryukyu trench, even though it was once owned by us and later occupied by Japan If Japan respects the above-mentioned position of China in a friendly manner, after exploiting the East China Sea oil, on the premise of meeting China's own needs, it can give priority to supply to Japan (note that it is sold to Japan, not sent for nothing), or even transfer (paid of course, the same below) the exploitation right of some oil wells, or transfer the exploration right of some sea areas to Japan, so as to guarantee Japan The demand for oil However, from the perspective of Japan's current position, it seems impossible for Japan to accept China's bottom line Japan not only unreasonably asks for demarcation according to the middle line, but also further requests us to provide exploration data and take the resources in the west of the middle line for joint development Since peace negotiations are extremely difficult, the remaining possibility is war It is not that we are belligerent, but that sometimes peace needs to be achieved in the way of war If the other side wants to start a war, we can only achieve peace through war In the face of war, we consider how much we can bear the war and how much the opponent can bear the war Our gains and losses, our opponents' gains and losses Admittedly, we are not as good as Japan in terms of conventional military strength If there is a local war, we have no certainty of victory But if there is a full-scale war, we will defeat Japan Many military analysis articles have detailed analysis, which will not be described here [NextPage] there are two things that can confirm Japan's fear of a full-scale war with China: (1) the time when the Korean people broke into the Japanese Embassy in China in the first two years At that time, the Chinese armed police went in with the consent of Japanese Ambassador Anan Weimao and arrested the intruder This was originally a move to safeguard the security of the Japanese embassy Unexpectedly, Japanese female foreign minister shunko Kawaguchi slapped the Chinese ambassador to Japan and said it was the beginning of a comprehensive war Shunko Kawaguchi's unusual performance is said to have been criticized by the Prime Minister of Japan, saying it is too unusual （2） At about the same time, there was a clamour in Japan that 1000 atomic bombs could be built in one night against China China's response was that an unnamed official of the national defense science and engineering Commission said it needed only three nuclear weapons to deal with Japan Later, Japanese officials officially stated that Japan would never develop nuclear weapons Therefore, we must make it clear to Japan that we do not accept local wars Once a war breaks out, it must be a comprehensive war between the two countries! We need to tell Japan that if Japan starts a war, it will be a comprehensive war and Japan will lose Once Japan is defeated, (1) the resources of the East China Sea will never be supplied to Japan, (2) China will recover the sovereignty of the Ryukyu Islands, (3) China will claim compensation for two wars, including the war reparations that China gave up after the victory of the Anti Japanese war Some people will say, since we have given up, why do we have to make a new claim? The answer is very clear: the last time I gave up, I hoped that Japan would become a friendly country of China and not provoke China any more Now that Japan has provoked again, we have reason to withdraw the promise of giving up It is the American factor that must be considered Don't forget that Japan has formed a military alliance with the United States, the number one military power The reason why Japan is so unbridled is related to the US Japan military alliance But we should realize that according to the treaty between the United States and Japan, the precondition for the United States to send troops to help Japan is that Japan is invaded However, the war initiated by Japan is not clear That is to say, the United States can intervene or not It depends on the national interest of the United States Therefore, we must increase the risk and cost of American intervention in the possible Sino Japanese War, and increase the interest of American neutrality, so as to promote American neutrality We must tell the United States that the war was picked up by Japan and that there is no necessity for the United States to intervene Second, tell the United States our confidence and determination to fight and win Third, if the United States remains neutral, China can supply oil to the United States with abundant oil resources This is a price that everyone will be interested in Fourth, if the Ryukyu Islands are recovered, we will still allow the United States to garrison in Okinawa, and the United States can still exist in East Asia The United States can also consider how the image of the United States will be affected if Japan fails in the Sino Japanese War and the United States fails to rescue each other So how will the United States decide if it is afraid of being dragged into the war by Japan? That is to suppress Japan and avoid war If the United States does not support Japan, does Japan dare to start a war? I don't think Japan has the guts To sum up, we must not give way to safeguarding the sovereignty of the East China Sea China needs to rise, and the East China Sea will be the cornerstone of the rise of China's military power!
