碩士 / 國立暨南國際大學 / 東南亞學系 / 103 / Abstract
The South China Sea issues, which are extremely complex international disputes, involve
the struggle of islands sovereignty, resources interests, and the demarcation of waters.
Countries involve including China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei
and Indonesia. In addition, the international forces led by the United States and Japan.
The South China Sea is of great importance for its strategic geographical location and
important world shipping channel. Apart from this, it‟s potentially abundant oil and
minerals resources are coveted by surrounding countries and further triggered the
disputes over the sovereignty. Another cause for the oceanic demarcation competition is
the provisions of the 1982 UNCLOS, making the overlapping disputes in the South China
Sea waters.
China is a new rising power which considers the South China Sea, no matter in terms of
history or legal theory, as part of China. Also for the reason of its requirement for
national strategy and insistence of the sovereignty, China shows strong attempt to the sea
and intervenes the war of South China Sea, arising the tensions.
The South China Sea has long been viewed as one of the three flash points in east Asia.
V
In 2002, due to the extension of the rising Chinese forces to the south, the U.S.‟s has
strengthened the " return to the Asia-Pacific" strategy, making claimant countries such as
Vietnam and the Philippines tend to rely on the U.S to enhance the strength of defending
sovereignty, and contend against China in the South China Sea. In 2012, the South China
Sea was once assessed to be the 6th out of the 10 big risk areas on earth by British
think-tank “Oxford Analytica” while China and the Philippines were confronting each
other at Huangyan Island. Hence the development of the South China Sea situation has
been highly concerned internationally. From the above, the sovereignty and claim of the
waters between China and the Philippines should be paid special attention and be
observed.
This aim of the research is to discuss subjects below, based on the South China Sea area
development situation:
(1) Review and analyzation of the historical process of the conflict, with regard to the
"disputed oceanic sovereignty between China and the Philippines".
(2) Process and the current situation of legislation between China and the Philippines.
(3) The purpose of the thesis is, by exploring and clarifying the subjects above, to more
explicitly understand the strategic essential and content of the disputed oceanic
sovereignty for the Philippines and other claimant countries.
Key words: Huangyan Island, Chinese and Philippine relations, The Oceanic Sovereignty
of South China Sea
