Recently, the South China Sea seems to have signs of cooling. In the end of November, Vietnam, South China Sea issue the first time held a large-scale international symposium. How should we look at Vietnam, this step?
Want to intervene in the South China Sea with ASEAN
November 26 ~ 27 days, Vietnam’s Foreign Affairs University and Vietnam Bar Association, jointly held in Hanoi, entitled “the South China Sea (Vietnam called ‘East Sea’): security and development in the region to strengthen cooperation,” International Conference. Although the seminar is the exchange of scholars, but a large scale, there are 150 attended the seminar.
In addition to Vietnamese scholars, and another 45 scholars from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, China, South Korea, Japan, India, Australia, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Canada and other countries.
Chinese scholars attending the 7 people from the mainland Chinese Academy of Social Sciences of China’s Borderland History and Geography Research Center, Li Guoqiang, deputy director of six other people, and another one from Taiwan. This is the first time on the South China Sea in Vietnam to convene such a large-scale international symposium.
Theme of the meeting there are three, first, the South China Sea on the region’s peace and security in the importance of the South China Sea in the status of national strategies; two root causes of the South China Sea disputes, and its evolution; third is to assess the region aimed at curbing the current impasse intensified the relevant system, and propose solutions to the problem concerned the dispute mechanism.
Vietnamese media reported that some scholars at the meeting, except in 1992 and 2002, respectively, through the “Declaration on the South China Sea” and the “Declaration on Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea”, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has not given priority in the South China Sea, ASEAN has not yet become the region to address an effective system of the South China Sea disputes, ASEAN has not yet managed potential disputes and conflict measures. In accordance with this scholar’s point of view, the South China Sea should be the Association of Southeast Asian Nations priority issues.
We all know, the South China Sea issue between China and ASEAN countries, the problems in bilateral relations, does not involve the ASEAN itself.
But Vietnam and other relevant countries, the hope is resolved within the framework of ASEAN, the South China Sea. Next year, Vietnam will become the Chairman of ASEAN countries, Vietnam, South China Sea issue if put into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on the agenda, will no doubt seize the initiative on the South China Sea issue. Clearly, this view coincide Vietnamese media appetite.
Russia scholar, said the South China Sea as “East Sea”
I believe that dialogue is always better than confrontation, to Vietnam for hosting the Conference should Dialectical, we must see the South China Sea in Vietnam, the organizers wanted a multilateral, international-oriented veiled motives, should be noted that the meeting does have a constructive side.
According to Chinese scholars attending an introduction to the author, scholars from various countries are based on personal capacity to attend this meeting, the participants at the meeting showed the frankly his views, which is conducive to enhancing mutual understanding between the participants. Around the theme of the International Conference on the South China Sea, Vietnam is likely to continue after the winding up.
That Chinese scholars believe that Chinese scholars participating holding an open mind, which in addition to allowing the international community to a deeper and more objective understanding of the position of Chinese scholars, but also to China and Vietnam over a channel for communication.
Of course, the Chinese scholars can understand more about the idea of other countries outside the region. For example, Russian scholars at the meeting with the Vietnamese side on the so-called “East Sea” term to refer to the South China Sea in support of Vietnam’s position. The complexity of the South China Sea issue is obvious.
Vietnam, the “new evidence” flimsy
In addition, the Vietnamese continue to rally, said the recent domestic media, but also the discovery of new historical evidence to prove that the Nansha and Xisha the history of the jurisdiction of the Vietnamese territory. Chinese scholars also said the meeting, Vietnamese scholars have also dished out at this meeting of these so-called “new evidence.” In fact, these “new evidence” is not worth refuting, and nothing new.
The Spratly Islands are now the Vietnamese called “Changsha”, the Vietnamese claimed to have taken control of the country’s history of “Changsha.” But the Vietnamese ancient books called “Changsha”, not the present Spratly Islands, but in central Vietnam’s coastal waters, islands and shoals. China since ancient times to the jurisdiction of the Nansha Islands and Sai Sha.
Vietnamese media reports, is to create public opinion in the country, urged the Government not to compromise on the South China Sea issue, not a concession. At the same time, this also shows that the Vietnamese academics are being sought by international law to settle the legal basis for the South China Sea, and thus create international opinion, Vietnam to the South China Sea issue in the settlement occupied an advantageous position.
March 17, Vietnam, Foreign Affairs College Research Center of the South China Sea was also held entitled “The sovereignty dispute over the South China Sea: History, Geopolitics and International Law” seminar. Vietnam scholars believe that: “In essence, the South China Sea is an international problem. … … On the diplomatic front, pay attention to the United States, Korea, Japan, ASEAN, the United Nations and the WTO on China in this dispute the attitude response. ”
Vietnam, the use of flexible instruments
The above trends show that Vietnam’s thinking on the issue of the South China Sea have been adjusted. Previously, Vietnam blindly with a strong buy six Russian “Kilo-class” submarines, the formation of militia actions at sea continuously.
Today, the Vietnamese began to resort to international law, international academic dialogue, with some flexible means to seize the initiative in the South China Sea. This shows that Vietnam has realized its own strength, and China “tough” no good.
Outside the United States as a regional military superpower, while flirting with the South China Sea countries concerned, even in the South China Sea dispute held a joint military exercise, but Vietnam is also very clear that a small country in Southeast Asia, the United States only in the use of their checks and balances in China, you really want to sword each other, U.S. estimate is moving mouth than doing – criticizing China, but not the war.
After all, the United States are large countries, the U.S. emphasis on China is far greater than in Southeast Asia.
