中菲南海争议的由来与现状

The Origin and Current Situation of the South China Sea Dispute between China and the Philippines

菲律宾早在1946年就对南沙群岛表现出兴趣,但其对南沙群岛的侵占野心还是通过克洛马(Tomas Cloma)来实现的。1978年,菲律宾政府发布了第1596号总统法令,把南沙群岛部分岛礁命名为"卡拉延群岛"(The Kalayann Island Group),声称为"菲律宾领土的一部分"。此后,菲律宾又分别于1997年和2012年两度挑起"黄岩岛事件",遂使中菲南海争议的现状很不乐观。南沙群岛永远是中国的领土。

As early as 1946,the Philippines had shown its interest in the Spratly Islands ( or Nansha Islands) . Several years later Tomas Cloma fulfilled the Philippines government’ s ambition of occupying the islands. In 1978,the Philippines issued Presidential Decree No. 1596 to rename part of the Spratly Islands as the Kalyann Island Group and claimed them to be part of the Philippine territory. In 1997 and 2012,the Philippines started the 'Huangyan Island Incidents'. In April 2012,because of the standoff at Huangyan Island,Chinese and Philippine vessels remained in the disputed waters for more than two months. The current situation of South China Sea Dispute is rather unoptimistic. Nansha Islands are China’s territory.
