杜特尔特执政以来的中菲南海合作——油气共同开发的进展、问题与对策

The China-Philippine Cooperation in the South China Sea since Duterte Coming into Office:Progress,Problems and Counter-Measures in Joint Oil and Gas Development

杜特尔特于2016年6月出任菲律宾总统以来,中菲关系得到了全面恢复和发展,南海问题重新回到双边对话协商解决的正确轨道。经过长时间的接触和反复磋商,通过双边磋商机制探讨南海资源共同开发问题并取得了系列共识。两国政府间谅解备忘录的签署,意味着中菲在南海油气勘探和开发合作方面迈出了新的步伐,但目前仍面临着诸多风险和挑战,中国应当谨慎乐观,合理预期,未雨绸缪。

Since Duterte became the President of the Philippines in June of 2016,China-Philippine relationship has been fully restored and developed,while the South China Sea issue has returned to the track of settlement through dialog and consultation.After protracted contacts and repeated discussion,China and the Philippines have reached a series of agreements in jointly developing the natural resources in the South China Sea,thus paving the way for their joint development of the resources in the South China Sea.The signing of the intergovernmental MOU between the two governments means China and the Philippines have made a new step forward towards joint oil and gas exploration and development in the South China Sea.Despite that,China-Philippine joint oil and gas exploration and development in the South China Sea still faces multiple risks and challenges,for which China should remain cautiously optimistic,keep reasonable expectations and prepare for a rainy day.
