What is the significance of China's announcement of the baseline of the territorial sea of the Huangyan Island at this time? Three points to help you understand.
On the date, the Chinese government issued a statement on the baseline of the territorial sea of the Huangyan Island, announcing the baseline of the territorial sea of the Huangyan Island of the People's Republic of China, which is a clear declaration of China's sovereignty over the Huangyan Island. How to understand the significance of this line? We can approach it from three points:
The baseline of the territorial sea around the Huangyan Island was not recently delineated; the reason it has not been announced is that China has consistently adopted a rational, restrained, and responsible approach in handling maritime issues in its periphery.
A few days ago, Philippine President Marcos signed the so-called Philippine "Marine Areas Law" and "Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law," illegally incorporating the Huangyan Island and most of the islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands, as well as the related waters, into the Philippine maritime zones. In response to the Philippines' "full of absurdities," China directly used a line as its reply.
The announcement of the baseline of the territorial sea around the Huangyan Island is just the first step. Subsequently, as scientific research, marine spatial planning, and other projects progress, the delineation and announcement of the baselines of the territorial sea in related areas will also be carried out in an orderly manner.
