Chinas Maritime Boundaries in the South China Sea

Maritime boundary disputes in the South China have existed for centuries, and researchers from a variety of countries have analyzed the situation from a great many points of view. Yet, and despite its status as one of the major countries in the region, Chinese perspectives have often been absent from the international literature. This book redresses that balance.

Bringing together scholarship from history and international law, this book provides a lens through which maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea can be interrogated. Not only does it detail the historical and jurisprudential evidence that support maritime boundaries in the South China Sea for different stakeholders, but it also clarifies some misconceptions related to Chinas nine-dash lines by referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Moreover, the book offers in-depth discussion and observation on the most recent developments in the South China Sea.

This book is an essential resource for researchers, teachers, and students who specialize in Southeast Asian Studies, China maritime studies, and the international law of the sea.

Jinming Li is Professor Emeritus of the Research Center for Southeast Asian Studies at Xiamen University. He has long been engaged in studies on the history of China foreign relations, the history of Chinas overseas trade, South China Sea disputes and the law of the sea. His publications include History of Overseas Trade in the Ming Dynasty and History of Overseas Trade in Ancient China.

Geographical overview of Chinas maritime boundaries in the South China Sea

Nanhai (), also called the South China Sea, refers to the vast expanse of water stretching from latitude 2327 North to 3 South and longitude 9910 to 12210 East in the southeast of China. It is located between mainland China, the Indochinese Peninsula, Borneo, Palawan, Luzon, and the Taiwan Island of China, and surrounded by Sumatra, Bangka, Borneo, Palawan, Mindoro, Luzon, Taiwan Island, Hainan Island and the Indochinese Peninsula. Spreading 1,380 kilometers east to west and 2,380 kilometers north to south, it embraces an area of about 3.5 million square kilometers. The South China Sea is an important maritime hub linking two oceans and three continents. Its strategic significance has been presented from the following aspects:

the South China Sea, as one of the richest fishing grounds around the globe, has seven of the worlds top 30 fishing nations by annual catch;
it has the two dominant ports of Asia: Hong Kong and Singapore;
it has one of the most hotly contested island territories in the worldthe Nansha Islands;
it has promising offshore oil and gas reserves;
it has several Pacific/Indian Ocean choke-points, that is, the Strait of Malacca, the Singapore Strait, the Sunda Strait and the Lombok Strait;
more than 10,000 merchant ships pass through the sea each year. It is one of the major oceanic routes for crude oil tankers from the Persian Gulf to Asia, and one of the major east-west oceanic routes for goods from Asia to rest of the world.

The South China Sea territory of China in this book refers to the area located south of the southern end of the Taiwan Strait and the southern shores of Guangdong Province (23N), north of James Shoal (4N), east of the Natuna Islands of Indonesia and the southern shores of Vietnam (108E), west of the coasts of the Malaysian states of Sarawak and Sabah, and the Philippine islands of Palawan and Luzon (120E), including three archipelagos and one submerged bank: the Xisha Islands, the Nansha Islands, the Dongsha Islands and the Zhongsha Islands (in English, the Paracel Islands, the Spratly Islands, the Pratas Islands and the Macclesfield Bank, respectively) which together constitute the oft-mentioned Nanhai Zhudao (the South China Sea Islands).

Spreading north to south from the Beiwei Tan (North Vereker Bank) around 21N to Zengmu Ansha (James Shoal) and Yaxi Ansha (Tanjong Payong) around 340N and extending east to west from the Huangyan Island (Scarborough Shoal) at 11750E to the Wanan Tan (Vanguard Bank) at 10930E, Nanhai Zhudao consists of over 200 islands, cays, shoals and reefs that scatter across the vast area south and east of the Hainan Island. It stretches about 900 kilometers along the latitude and about 1,800 kilometers along the longitude.
