如何看待当前的南海形势

How to View the Current South China Sea Situation

在漫长的历史进程中,中国确立了对南海诸岛的主权和相关权益。直到上世纪60、70年代,在南沙群岛附近海域发现了大量石油储藏,南海才开始成为热点地区。作为南海最大的沿岸国,中国一直致力于实现自己的和平发展,不愿看到包括南海在内的周边地区生乱生战。但是,菲律宾单方面提起的所谓仲裁案完全是在法律外衣包装下的政治挑衅,严重毒化了南海问题的气氛,破坏了通过谈判协商、和平解决争议,共同维护南海和平稳定的努力。中方是不会接受裁决结果,不会接受任何以裁决为基础的主张和行动的。

In the long course of history, China has established sovereignty and relevant rights over islands in the South China Sea. The South China Sea did not become a hot-spot until the 1960 s and 1970 s, when large amount of oil reserves was discovered in the waters around the Nansha Islands. As the biggest littoral state of the South China Sea, China has always been committed to the realization of its peaceful development and would never like to see turmoil and wars taking place in its neighborhood including the South China Sea. Nonetheless, the Philippines unilaterally filed a case for arbitration on its disputes with China, which is a political provocation in the guise of law, seriously poisoning the environment for resolving the South China Sea issue and undermining the efforts to resolve the disputes peacefully through consultation and negotiation, and safeguard peace and stability of the South China Sea. The Chinese side will never accept the verdict, nor will it accept any proposals and actions based on such a verdict.
