Historical Introduction of South China Sea in China

==========================================================================

Nansha Islands, commonly known as Nansha Islands, were first discovered by the people of China, first named, first developed and operated, and first managed and exercised by the China government.

According to historical records, China discovered Nansha Islands as early as the second century BC in the era of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the people of China have lived and engaged in fishing and other production activities in Nansha Islands. In Song Dynasty, China named Nansha Islands Wanli Shitang; Prior to this, in the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea islands, including Nansha Islands, were generally called Qitou. Since then, to the Qing Dynasty, there have been names such as Wanli Changsha, Li Qian Shitang and Shitang. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the China government clearly placed the Nansha Islands under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Prefecture (now Hainan Province).

/kloc-After the decline of China in the 20th century, Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Japan coveted the Nansha Islands and sent ships to survey and survey them many times in an attempt to occupy them. But it failed. 1933, the Nansha Islands were occupied by the French colonial authorities who ruled Vietnam at that time and illegally placed under the jurisdiction of Bati Province. During the Second World War in Europe, the Japanese army invaded the Nansha Islands in March 1939. 1945 After the Japanese surrender, the China government sent personnel to take over the Nansha Islands in 1946, and erected a monument to commemorate it and sent troops to station. 1947, Dongsha, Xisha, Zhongsha, Nansha Islands and islands, reefs, sands and beaches were renamed and placed under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province again.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC),1951August 15, Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai issued the Statement on the Draft Peace Treaty of the Conference between the United States and Britain and San Francisco, solemnly pointing out that the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands, like dongsha islands and zhongsha islands, are "the territory of China". Since then, in response to foreign aggression against the sovereignty of the Nansha Islands, the China government has repeatedly issued statements reaffirming China's inviolable and indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands. 1On September 4th, 958, the government of China issued a statement declaring that the width of the territorial sea was 12 nautical mile, and clearly pointed out that this provision was applicable to all the territory of China, including the Nansha Islands and other islands belonging to China. 1959 In March, Hainan Administrative Region of Guangdong Province set up "West, South and zhongsha islands Offices" in Yongxing Island of Xisha Islands. From 1984, China Branch

The college conducted a three-year scientific investigation on Nansha Islands. In the first half of 1987, two research vessels, Experiment 2 and Experiment 3, concentrated in Zengmu shoal basin and landed on northeast 10 reef.

Investigation: 22 projects including hydrology, meteorology and biology were comprehensively investigated at 59 observation points. From the second half of 1987 to the second half of 1988, China built an artificial island reef on Nansha Yongzheng Reef and established marine observation.

Stand up. 1988 After the establishment of Hainan Province in April, Nansha, Xisha and zhongsha islands were placed under the jurisdiction of Hainan Province, and the "Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha Working Committee Office" was still located in Yongxing Island. On February 25 this year, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of China adopted the People's Republic of China (PRC) territorial sea and the contiguous zone, reaffirming that the Nansha Islands and other islands and their waters are the territory and territorial waters of the applicant country.

The Chinese People's Navy is exercising its right to defend China.

The right of obligation. 1987, a multi-ship synthetic formation of the People's Navy conducted a military parade in the shoal area of Zengmu. On March 1988 and 14, the People's Navy patrolled the waters of Jiuzhang Reef in Nansha Islands, and established an observation at Chibi Reef.

At the inspection point, it was attacked by Vietnamese aggression ships, and the people's navy resolutely responded and defended the dignity of the motherland. Today, in the vast Nansha sea area, the People's Navy is on six reefs on the front line of southern Xinjiang, under the five-star red flag.

Guarding the maritime borders of the motherland.
