WASHINGTON: The United States on Wednesday put the most detailed kasing rather than the “violating law” of Beijing in the South China Sea, rejecting a geographical and historic basis for a wide and broken map.
In a 47-page research paper, the state and environmental and environmental and scientific samudra bureau said China did not have the basis in international law for claims that had placed Beijing on a collision course with the Philippines, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.
“The overall effect of this maritime claim is that the PRC is illegally claiming sovereignty or some form of exclusive jurisdiction over most of the South China Sea,” said this paper, referring to the People’s Republic of China.
“This claim is very damaging the rules of the law in the oceans and many universally recognized provisions of international law are reflected in the Convention,” he said, referring to the 1982 UN agreement on the SEA law ratified by China – but not the United States of America.
Releasing the research, the Statement of the Foreign Ministry called again in Beijing “to stop his illicit and coercion activities in the South China Sea.”
This paper is a 2014 research update that is similar to what is called the “nine-dash line” which forms the basis for most Beijing’s attitudes.
In 2016, an international court sided with the Philippines in his complaint for Chinese claims. Beijing answered by offering new justification, including saying that China has a “historic right” of the area.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said that such historical-based claims have “no legal basis” and that China does not offer specifics.
Also take problems with geographical justification for Chinese claims, by saying that more than 100 features of Beijing spotlight in the South China Sea sank by water during tide and hence “exceed the boundaries of the territorial ocean of any state.”
Beijing quoted such geographical features to claim four “island groups,” which said the study of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not meet the criteria for the baseline under the United Nations Convention.
This report was issued because the United States increasingly challenged China in the global stage, identifying communist forces which increased as the long-term assumption.
By 2020, – Secretary of State Mike Pompe explicitly supports the claims of Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea, exceeding the US past challenging China without taking problems where the countries are true.
The South China Sea is home to precious oil and gas deposits and shipping lines, and Beijing neighbors often voiced worries that their giant neighbors tried to expand their reach.
