South China Sea on the Nansha Islands of China's territory since ancient times . Of the earliest recorded history is found , naming , development and operations for the exercise of jurisdiction and sovereignty . Strategic position of the Nansha Islands is even more important , it is located in the southernmost tip of the motherland's southern border , in Vietnam 's Cam Ranh Bay and Subic Bay naval base between the two , brief the Pacific to the Indian Ocean sea transport hub for East Asia to South Asia , the Middle East , Africa, Europe must pass through important international routes, is also an important gateway for China's opening up the importance of safety barriers and southern . In China , 39 overseas routes leading to , there are 21 by the Nansha Islands sea area , 60% of the foreign trade transportation from the Nansha through .

South China Sea issue is very complicated , during the Southeast Asian countries involved include: the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries , while the South China Sea there are more power among the major powers worry .

Due to the Taiwan issue , force the issue and delivery status and other factors the South China Sea , China's association with the South China Sea countries signed the " Joint Declaration of the South China Sea , " set : putting aside disputes and jointly develop guidelines and policies to the stability of the situation surrounding the South China Sea , the development of Relations with the South China Sea countries , safeguarding regional and world peace and stability and played a crucial role .

It is also in the spirit under the guidance and implementation , so that relations between China and ASEAN countries have made great progress and to further strengthen the friendly interaction with ASEAN countries and the economic and trade exchanges with ASEAN countries, we also signed the " ASEAN Free Trade Area Agreement " between the political and economic mutual benefit so that we seem to see a glimmer of hope for the peaceful settlement of the South China Sea disputes .

However, the sad thing is that this understanding is so weak ! When China and the ASEAN countries and applauded the interaction between time , Vietnam no Lai Xiaoguo has given us the wake-up call .

Late last year, the Vietnamese island in the Spratly Islands to build the airport in Changsha , Vietnam National Tourism Administration tourism purposes in the name of trimming , however , I believe that this is a wedge over the Nansha Islands in a Vietnamese military "poison nail . "

Just think, the Nansha Islands in South China coast from 2,000 km away, than in Japan , the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries even far away . Sea voyage without enough power , no aircraft carriers , fighter planes can not be sent to the region where . Even now , China's most advanced fighter plane flew Nansha still limited . In this case , Long Island, airports and aircraft in Vietnam is clearly fighting for air superiority over the Nansha implication .

Vietnam's new national development strategy among the key point that "sea power "list. Expedite the development process of the military , the navy and air force as a priority the development of branches of the military , especially in naval construction aspects of the bet Geng Da Xia , the Shang early 90 century and the early年代formulated the " Decade of Development Planning, the Navy " , Bo Chu special fund Used to develop and purchase new ships and other weapons and equipment , construction and expansion of a number of important central and southern naval port and military business combination port .

Vietnam to strengthen the Navy can be said to enormous amounts of money . Russia not only bought four "poisonous spider "class missile boats and other large advanced equipment , also made a number of guided missile frigates and missile boats . In addition, 3.8 billion investment in Vietnam to build a north-eastern area of 3,000 hectares , capable of accommodating 40,000 tons of large military port -class warships .

It is estimated that the military port , once built, can not only ease the warship docked in Vietnam's Cam Ranh Bay base in southern plight , but also greatly enhance the Navy 's infrastructure construction in Vietnam , Vietnamese military combat support capabilities to a new level . Recently, with the help of India , Vietnam also proposed to build a modern navy 2015 to strengthen the control of the South China Sea region .

Why did the Vietnamese development strategy to " spear " directly at the South China Sea ? In short, the South China Sea 's resources to the plight of the Vietnamese out of the poor .

Indeed, the South China Sea fisheries and salt resources are supporting the economic development of Vietnam can not afford , he suits the development of marine energy is the top priority for the power . Today's world, the country's economic development is the first prerequisite of energy . The Nansha Islands sea area has vast deposits of mineral resources, oil and natural gas , iron, copper, manganese , phosphorus and so on . Which is particularly rich in oil and gas resources , the geological reserves of about 35 billion tons , the " second Persian Gulf , "said. Thus , it is easy to see Vietnam at neighboring China with a huge confrontation , but also to the Nansha Islands for ourselves .
