[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Guo Yuandan] In response to the frequent speculation of the Taiwan Strait in the United States, the Taiwan Strait is a "international waters". Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin made it clear at a press conference on the 13th that there was no "international waters" at the international maritime law. On the 14th, the US State Department still called the Taiwan Strait as a "international waters", and "being guaranteed by international law" in freedom of navigation and flight. International Law experts told the Global Times reporter that "international waters" are only military terms used as the US "Naval Commander", not the concept of the United Nations Convention on Ocean Law. The United States uses its own unilateral rules to replace the generally applicable international law rules. Who is the destroyer of international rules and order.

There is no "international waters" in the International Ocean Law, and the US State Department spokesman still has a hard mouth

According to a report from Bloomberg on the 13th, in recent months, the Chinese Military Army has repeatedly stated that the Taiwan Strait has not been a "international waters", but an exclusive economic zone that belongs to mainland China. This remarks have caused concerns about the Bayeng government, and it has also attracted the refutation of the United States and Taiwan.

In this regard, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated at a regular press conference on the 13th that Taiwan is an indispensable part of China's territory; the narrowest part of the Taiwan Strait is about 70 nautical miles and the widest part of the place is about 220 nautical miles. With the domestic law of China, the Taiwan Strait waters are extended from the coasts on both sides to the central line of the Strait, and they are in order of China's internal water, territorial sea, connected zone and exclusive economic zone. China has sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait, and also respects the legitimate rights of other countries in related sea areas. There is no "international waters" in the International Oceanic Law.

Reuters reported that U.S. State Department spokesman Pois said in an email that responded to his inquiry on the 14th that the Taiwan Strait was "international waters", which means that the Taiwan Strait "suitable for the principle of freedom of the public sea", navigation and flight at navigation and flight Freedom is "guaranteed by international law." Price also reiterated the concern of the United States about "aggressive remarks and coercion activities on Taiwan" in mainland China, and said that the United States will continue to "carry out flight and navigation operations in regions allowed by international law, including crossing the Taiwan Strait."

"International Water" is a "universal medicine" invented by the United Nations Convention on Ocean Law and maintaining its maritime hegemony.

The founder and director of the International Military Action Law Research Center, director of the International Military Action Law, and a retired naval across the Navy, said in an interview with a reporter from the Global Times on the 15th that professionals in the world can distinguish them. The hypocritical practice of "stealing beams", which exactly exposes the true face of the "rules -based international order" hanging on the mouth.

Tian Shichen further explained that, first of all, there is no "international waters" in international law. It is the "universal medicine" invented by the United States as a non -contractor to bypass the obligations of the United Nations Marine Law and maintain its maritime hegemony: "'' The international waters '' is not the concept of the United Nations Marine Law Convention. A so -called 'rule' and popular statement of raw and moving. "Tian Shichen pointed out that in addition, when there is a different understanding of these marine law rules, there are differences in the United States. "Solving international disputes with peace methods", the United States is the only country in the world that uses military coercion to challenge its "excessive marine claims" by formulating a special "navigation freedom plan". Basic criterion.

Tian Shichen said: "As a country that has not joined the 1982" Convention on the United Nations Marine Law ", in terms of explanation and application of international law, the United States uses its own unilateral rules to replace the commonly applicable international law rules. Who is international rules and order. The destroyer is self -explanatory. "

The true intention of the United States: depicts China as a "rules destroyer"

Since there is no "international waters" in the International Oceanic Law, what is the intention of the United States to provoke and stir up the topic? Wang Wenbin emphasized that the relevant countries claimed that the Taiwan Strait was a "international waters" and intended to manipulate Taiwan -related issues and threaten China's sovereign security manufacturing excuses. China has resolutely opposed it.

Tian Shichen pointed out that the United States created the illusion of "the Taiwan Strait is an international waters" to create the illusion of "step by step" in the Taiwan Strait situation. "China has sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait, and also respects the legitimate rights of other countries in related sea areas."

Tian Shichen said that China has sovereignty over the neighborhood part of the Taiwan Strait and enjoys sovereign rights and jurisdictions to the exclusive economic zones between the two sides of the strait. However, the current Western media only disconnected and reported that China said that "has sovereignty over the entire Taiwan Strait." In addition, "although the Taiwan Strait is not 'international waters', it is a strait for international sailing. It is precisely to say that Article 36 of the Convention on the United Nations Marine Law is specified in the Strait of the International Navigation. , Warships, including US warships, enjoy freedom of navigation, but should comply with the applicable relevant regulations of the coastal countries and fulfill their appropriate obligations; instead of the applicable transit system specified in Article 37, 38, etc. "Another anonymous international law expert also told the Global Times reporter that the focus of" whether the Taiwan Strait is in the international waters "is not that" whether foreign warships can pass ", but what is the legal basis through. "China has never allowed other countries to cross the Taiwan Strait, so a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in the response 'while respecting the legitimate rights of other countries in the relevant waters'. Sailing freedom. "

Tian Shichen said that in fact, the freedom of navigation of the Taiwan Strait has never been hindered, including the US, Japan, Britain and other national warships that have been freely sailing. However, in recent years, the U.S. military has increased its announcement of the Taiwan Strait and sent an error signal to the outside world. "First of all, to provoke the signal of the Chinese mainland and pass the signal to the 'Taiwan independence' on the issue of Taiwan; the second is Taiwan. Strait, saying that it is the problem of freedom of navigation, so as to portray China as the "rules destroyer '."
