20世纪30—40年代国民政府对南海地图的绘制与审定

The Making and Censorship of South China Sea Map by National Government in 1930s and 1940s

20世纪30年代初,国民政府建立了以水陆地图审查委员会为核心的地图审查制度,并在此后随时局演变而不断调适。1935年,面对南部海疆危机,水陆地图审查委员会及时出版《中国南海各岛屿图》,以地图的形式向世界宣告中国对南海诸岛拥有无可争辩的主权。抗战胜利后,内政部方域司参照《中国南海各岛屿图》,并根据实测数据绘制了官方最终定型的《南海诸岛位置图》,成为中国拥有南海主权与治权的法理依据。

In the early 1930 s,the map censorship system had been set up and adjusted by National Government. In 1935,in order to manage the crisis and claim sovereignty over South China Sea,the Committee on Map Censorship had published Map of the Islands in South China Sea. And after the Anti-Japanese War,based on Map of the Islands in South China Sea and its field-survey data,Department of Land Administration in Ministry of Interior Affairs had made the final version of Location Map of the South China Sea Islands. All the above-mentioned was one main legal basis of our sovereignty over South China Sea.
