China embarked on a guilty diplomatic campaign in the South China Sea, with the aim of avoiding all the illegal acts it committed.

On April 30, the Global Times newspaper, a spokesman for the Chinese Communist Party (China), published an editorial titled: “The United States Intensified Hegemony in the South China Sea Amid a Pandemic.”
Earlier (April 27), the South China Morning Post published an article by scholar Mark J. Valencia. The article was titled: “In the middle of the world, focusing on COVID-19, is China exploiting distraction in the South China Sea? This opinion is only true for people who believe in American propaganda. “
China: United States is aggressive in the East Sea
Global Times and academic Mark J. Valencia have the same opinion: The United States is complicating the situation when it comes to taking the navy to the South China Sea, where the United States has no claims. This view is the argument for Beijing to declare all of China’s military armies in the East Sea for defensive purposes only (before the US).
To illustrate the point that “the United States wants to rule in the South China Sea,” the Chinese press stated: The United States is determined to intervene in the East Sea in the context of the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, causing many deaths in many countries. . The Chinese opinion that the United States has acted “scandalously” for two reasons: (i) The US Navy. USA Suffering from a pandemic but still trying to send troops to the South China Sea; (ii) China has not taken action in the South China Sea since January 2020, so the United States does not need to pressure it.
China said that “the United States imagines that China is an enemy of the United States” and that Washington is trying to become unduly involved in the South China Sea to win American allies and partners in the region. Kinh claimed that the United States was irresponsible with the world when it cut aid from the World Health Organization (WHO) and did not help the European Union (EU) in the fight against COVID-19. Rather, China affirms its focus on supporting the fight against the international epidemic.
In concluding the relationship between the United States and China, the Beijing media claimed that Washington was deliberately “inflating” the so-called Chinese threat. The United States should have separated the issue of the South China Sea from the competition between the United States and China because the United States is not official (that is, it has no rights or obligations in the region), the appearance of the United States only complicates the situation. .
The Chinese media also deliberately provoked by warning that the joint memorandum between the United States and China on the rules of safe conduct in maritime and air confrontations (2014) is no longer meaningful. If the United States continues to intervene in the region, according to China, “unfortunate” collisions may occur at sea.
Who is the aggressor?
In fact, contrary to what Beijing claims, China is carrying out a guilty diplomatic campaign. It is possible to systematize the evasion of responsibilities, blaming other countries for the same positions taken by the Chinese.
More recently, China blamed Vietnamese fishing vessels for ramming Beijing’s seagoing vessels. China deliberately ignores the context of the incident (in early April). Firstly, Vietnamese fishing vessels are exploiting shellfish in the waters of Hoang Sa (under the undisputed sovereignty of Vietnam). Second, while Chinese seagoing vessels are larger and more armed, Vietnamese fishing vessels have almost no opportunity to compete. Therefore, to say that Vietnamese fishing vessels crashed into Chinese vessels is unreasonable and ungovernable. In fact, the recorded footage and verification from the international community show that China is irresponsible in the incident.
China blames the United States for “excessive participation” in the South China Sea when China has made no move since January 2020. No one in the world accepts this view. Because many countries have evidence to show: (a) China has operated two scientific research stations in the South China Sea since January 2020; (b) Beijing established two island districts, under the so-called “Tam Sa City”; (c) The Chinese Interior Ministry updates the “standard name” (official name) of some 80 entities in the South China Sea; d) Chinese maritime vessels sank Vietnamese fishing vessels; (e) The Chinese Navy aims the radar gun at the Philippine navy ship; (f) China dispatched the controversial Ocean 8 flotilla to the South China Sea, alerted by Malaysia for its harassment of economic exploitation.

The US dispatch of the Navy and Air Force, in coordination with the Royal Australian Navy to the South China Sea, has originated in Chinese behavior. So if we say that the United States intentionally “oversteps” in the South China Sea, it ultimately comes from the Beijing aggression. While the United States claims to always act in accordance with international law, China declares its conduct in accordance with its laws, which conflict with the international standards that China has committed.
China accuses the United States and other countries of “exaggerating” the Chinese threat, but that is not the case. The “peaceful rise” of China was not rejected by any country, until China unilaterally occupied, recovered, renewed and militarized the features in the South China Sea. China’s U-shaped line claim has been disabled since the 2016 decision of the Arbitration Court, but Beijing has persisted in continuing. The Chinese note sent to the United Nations Secretary-General in late 2019 and early 2020 directly or indirectly declares the protection of the language of the cow. As such, the ambition to invade more than 90% of the South China Sea according to China’s claims is a real threat to countries, not an exaggeration.
In the countryside, China collided with ships and ships in other countries; for the military to target radar or laser pistols at navy and air force countries. Beijing gradually artificialized, militarized and institutionalized despite breaking the status quo, seriously violating international law, generally the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982. Enough to demonstrate that the threat from China to freedom of navigation and national sovereignty is existing and real.

The fact that China considers itself “focused on fighting epidemics” is even more wrong. With what happened in the South China Sea, international politicians and academics have largely claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic could not prevent Beijing from continuing to invade the South China Sea. Furthermore, China’s “medical diplomacy”, which Beijing illustrates for China’s efforts to combat the epidemic worldwide, is also controversial. The quality of the orders does not pass the test of many countries; At the same time, there was concern that China would use aid products to exert political pressure on countries.
So if you want to portray the greatest aggressor of a nation in the South China Sea, irresponsible to the world in the context of a pandemic, it must be China, before considering any other country. .

From absurd cow tongue to illegal Dharma The Beijing government has recently used the term “Tu Sa” for its claims. According to observers, Tu Sa is the way in which China gradually defines the claim of the U-shaped line, with a broader scope, more specifically than the ambiguity of the U-shaped line, which was rejected by the Court of 2016 arbitration. The nature of the scope of Tu Sa is the entire area that China calls the South Sea Islands. According to the Beijing statement in the notes sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the islands of the South China Sea include the Dong Sa archipelago (Pratas rock islands), the Xisha archipelago (the Paracel islands of Vietnam), the archipelago Nam Sa (Spratly Islands of Vietnam) and the Trung Sa Archipelago (Macclesfield Banks). In the illegal Sa, the U-shaped line still appears permanently. For example, functions CML / 14/2019, CML / 11/2020, CML / 42/2020 sent by China to the United Nations, this country always refers directly or indirectly to functions CML / 17/2009 (appeared in 2009 ) with a U-shaped line map. Therefore, in terms of propaganda, China has adapted to the use of many Sa words, but nature remains the ambition to swallow more than 90% of the South Sea of China. |
