南海问题已经不再是中国与周边声索国的双边矛盾。南海油气资源的开发是各方战略性冲突的重心。三年前,菲律宾不顾中方反对,单方面推进争端“司法化”。当年1月22日,菲律宾援引《联合国海洋法公约》附件七的规定,就中菲有关南海“海洋管辖权”争端提起强制仲裁。2016年7月12日,位于海牙的国际仲裁法院发表南海仲裁案的所谓裁决,声称中国在南海的“九段线”没有法律基础。中国对美济礁(Mischief Reef)和仁爱礁(Thomas Shoal)周边两百海里不具 The issue of the South China Sea is no longer the bilateral contradiction between China and its neighboring countries. The development of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea is the focus of the strategic conflicts between the parties. Three years ago, the Philippines unilaterally pushed forward the dispute on “judicialization” despite Chinese opposition. On January 22 of that year, the Philippines cites the provisions of Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to impose compulsory arbitration on the dispute over the South China Sea and “maritime jurisdiction” between China and the Philippines. On 12 July 2016, the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague issued a so-called ruling on the arbitration in the South China Sea, claiming that China has no legal basis for the “Nine Dash Line” in the South China Sea.
