(Reuters) – The word “sleepy” could have been invented for Ranai, the largest town in Indonesia’s remote and sparsely populated Natuna archipelago.

It has few cars and only two sets of traffic lights. The cloud-wreathed mountain looming over it resembles a slumbering volcano. Nearby beaches lie pristine and empty, waiting for tourists. Continue reading Remote, gas-rich islands on Indonesia’s South China Sea frontline →

CogitASIA China’s placement of an oil rig inside Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone in May 2014 was a wake up call for the Vietnamese leadership. It took place at a time when Hanoi was filled with speculation about an intense struggle for power and secret dealings in preparation for the 2016 Communist Party Congress.

NewYorkTime – Two new maps being issued in China this summer are stirring debate across Asia. The first, an ambitious vertical map issued in June by the Hunan Map Publishing House, uses 10 dashes around the South China Sea to broadly delineate China’s claims to contested waters, shoals, rocks, reefs and islands there. The second is being distributed to units of the People’s Liberation Army. Military officials have said it is the army’s first major revision of a map in 30 years.

Letter of PM Phạm Văn Đồng to PM Zhou En Lai on September 14, 1958

Leave a comment

Too many empty noises, too much sorcery, for this 2-paragraph letter from PM Phạm Văn Đồng to PM Zhou En Lai on Sept. 14, 1858.

China threw it onto the Internet, crowning it as Công Hàm. I am not sure what Công Hàm really means, but it sounds important and mysterious. Someone translated the name into Diplomatic Note.

And the Chinese, masters in the art of smoke blowing, said the Công Hàm meant that Prime Minister Phạm Văn Đồng agreed to China’s sovereignty over the Paracels and the Spratlys.

Unfortunately, a bunch of anti-commie overseas Vietnamese picked it up after the Chinese, and advertised the letter as Công Hàm Bán Nước (Công Hàm to sell the country). So, the letter became famous, thanks to Chinese propaganda.

But indeed, all the scholars I know (including the non-lawyer scholars) agree that the letter said only one simple thing, that Prime Minister PVĐ agreed to the 12-mile territorial sea adopted by the Chinese in 1958.

I wrote the following imaginary trial between Counsel for China (Cch), Counsel for Vietnam (Cvn) and a five-judge arbitration panel, talking mainly through one judge (J), to show what PM PVĐ intended to write in his letter.

Historical Fiction: China’s South China Sea Claims

Leave a comment

Mohan Malik

thediplomat – The Spratly Islands—not so long ago known primarily as a rich fishing ground—have turned into an international flashpoint as Chinese leaders insist with increasing truculence that the islands, rocks, and reefs have been, in the words of Premier Wen Jiabao, “China’s historical territory since ancient times.” Normally, the overlapping territorial claims to sovereignty and maritime boundaries ought to be resolved through a combination of customary international law, adjudication before the International Court of Justice or the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, or arbitration under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). While China has ratified UNCLOS, the treaty by and large rejects “historically based” claims, which are precisely the type Beijing periodically asserts. On September 4, 2012, China’s foreign minister, Yang Jiechi, told US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that there is “plenty of historical and jurisprudence evidence to show that China has sovereignty over the islands in the South China Sea and the adjacent waters.” Continue reading Historical Fiction: China’s South China Sea Claims →

China ‘Internationalizes’ South China Sea Dispute

Leave a comment

thediplomat – By raising the oil rig dispute with Vietnam at the UN, China risks setting a dangerous precedent for itself.

China effectively internationalized its dispute with Vietnam over an oil rig in the South China Sea on Monday by submitting its claim against Hanoi to the UN Secretary General.

As Shannon reported yesterday, on Sunday China’s Foreign Ministry released a statement entitled, The Operation of the HYSY 981 Drilling Rig: Vietnam’s Provocation and China’s Position, which criticized Vietnam’s alleged provocations over the oil rig and provided the “most comprehensive outline to date of China’s claims to the Paracel Islands.” Continue reading China ‘Internationalizes’ South China Sea Dispute →

Le Truong Hai Hieu, vice chairman of District 1 government, says they believe the suicide was inspired by a combination of serious life problems and anger created by China’s placement of a mobile oil rig in Vietnamese waters.

One day, a young student was taking a walk with his professor. Students usually called this kind and gentle professor by an intimate name “friend of students”.

While walking, the two encountered an old pair of shoes on the road. They thought the shoes belonged to a poor farmer who was working in the nearby field. Probably the farmer was about to finish his work day. Continue reading Giving and Receiving →
