The Strategic Value of Diaoyu Island

As far as seabed resources are concerned, the waters around Diaoyu Island are not only rich in seabed oil reserves, which can reach 3-7 billion tons, but also rich in fishery resources, with an annual catch of 65.438+0.5 million tons. Some people have come to the conclusion that the oil resources in the waters near Diaoyu Island make it "possible to become the second Middle East". This tempting vision is enough to make people take risks.

From the perspective of military geography, Diaoyu Island has a very important but little-known military value. As we all know, in the direction of Chinese mainland's ocean, a natural barrier is formed on the outer edge of the mainland. In the middle of this island chain, in front of the East China Sea are Ryukyu Islands and Taiwan Province Island. Together with Jiuzhou Island, they separate the East China Sea from the Pacific Ocean.
