Soong met PRC President Hu Jintao and other PRC leaders in Beijing on May 12 and passed the message that Chen Shui-bian was willing to engage in dialogue with Beijing using a flexible formulation about what constituted "one China."
Picture stolen from there as well.
Many westerners might have totally underestimated the willingness of cooperation and compromise of the Chinese government. It is amazing that western media did not report the ongoing cooperation among China, Vietnam and Philippine for sharing the oil resources in South China Sea. The oil companies of these three countries have set up a joint venture to investigate the geographic nature of South China Sea. The first agreement was signed in this March for collecting the earthquake data near the oil field. The job will cost $16 million. The cost will be shared by 3 parties. China oilfield service limited, a branch of CNOOC, finally won the bid for this job only half month ago. (I copied the brief news on my blog several weeks ago, but in Chinese)
However Chinese government takes a different stand on the issue of Chunxiao oil field, and I do think they have the right reason to be angry because the dispute raised by Japanese is totally ridiculous. They said the oil field may siphon off resources from the Japanese side?! Is it the exactly same excuse which has been used by Saddam to invade Kuwait in 1991? Not to mention, according the UN convention on the law of the sea, that side can not be called Japanese side at all!
The so called median line claimed by Japan is only applicable to the delimitation of territorial sea, which is generally 12 miles from the land. The delimitation of economic zone is decided according to the continental shelf conventionally, as China claims in the case. If median line is overwhelmingly used for exclusive economic zone, the continental countries will be at the huge disadvantage compared with countries surrounded by the sea. That’s why it’s not adopted in the UN convention on the delimitation of EEZ. No doubt if Japan grabs the permanent seat in UN Security Council, it may try to change that. Just for this issue, China shouldn’t support Japan’s bid for the seat.
Now we should know that basically what China is doing now is nothing to do with the resources of Japan. There is no dispute for Chunxiao field at all , which totally locates inside the exclusive economic zone of China, no matter how you draw the line. If there is, the dispute is about so called “Japanese side” according to the UN convention.
Nevertheless, I still believe that China and Japan will cooperate to drill the oil from the disputable economic zone eventually. (Nothing to do with Chunxiao, Ok?) However, there might have no economic plan for now. So we should wait. If Japan starts drilling the oil from that side by themselves, they will violently break the international convention. China will be forced to handle that. There are many solutions to handle this situation, which is at least enough to make drilling unprofitable.
