Views on Huangyan Island

First of all, compared with the map, the importance of Huangyan Island is incomparable to Diaoyu Island, and the area of Huangyan Island is only a place with a big ass. Why is it important? The following explanation:

1, rooted in the irrationality of international conventions, stipulates that a country's territorial sea is 12 nautical mile from the continental shelf as its territorial sea, and it is of little value to compete for the island itself (or there is no fresh water for basic survival, even if people live there all the year round and the weather is bad, I won't go to kill me), but the vast sea area on the island has changed from the high seas to the territorial sea. You can see it from the map. Without Huangyan Island, China will lose a large area of territorial waters. Fighting for Huangyan Island is fighting for the South China Sea.

2. The South China Sea is very important. First of all, the South China Sea is rich in oil. More importantly, there is the largest solid methane in the world. As long as the mining technology is mature, this new energy can make China richer than the Middle East. Second, the (military) South China Sea is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world, which leads from Europe, Africa and the Middle East to Vietnam, China, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, South Korea and Japan every day. Among them, Japanese, Korean devils and Taiwan independence elements clamored all day that if the South China Sea is China's territorial waters, they can levy taxes on merchant ships passing through it, and they can block this sea area in times of political tension or wartime, so ships can only bypass Oceania and return to East Asia. It's not as simple as extra freight. For example, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province all import raw materials and export commodities. Excluding American routes, there used to be 10000 merchant ships going back and forth twice a week, but now it needs 1 month. In order to ensure the normal economy, 20 thousand merchant ships are needed to ensure import and export. It is impossible to find so many ships at once, and the impact on their economy will be more serious than any economic crisis.

As for territorial integrity, it is not just a slogan used by politicians. Now, Indian occupies 300 square kilometers of China. Officials think it's just barren and silent, but the South China Sea is different.

Personal opinion: Diaoyu Island, which is 300 times larger than Huangyan Island, should not be taken away by Huangyan Island or occupied by Taiwan Province Province controlled by Taiwan independence molecules.
