Asia's thirst for oil and gas, and now China, Korea and Singapore to build a new generation of deep-sea drilling platform, will fight for control over the South China Sea large marine increasingly fierce infighting. A total of 6 countries and regions claiming sovereignty over the South China Sea.
The world's two largest oil companies - Exxon Mobil Corporation United States and British BP, seems to have been prepared to ignore China's objections. Beijing has confirmed that the company has asked ExxonMobil to take quiet rare in Vietnam, the Vietnamese state-owned oil company along the coast and plan to jointly explore for oil. It is clear that Beijing was forced to issue a similar warning, BP last year halted a territorial dispute on the grounds the sea in southern Vietnam exploration program.
However, on July 22 last year, that is, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Beijing opposed any "violation of the South China Sea in China's sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction of the act" a spokesman for BP, the same day, told reporters in London The company's partner in China, the Vietnamese state-owned oil companies have made territorial disputes to start exploration activities in the block. The block is located in Vietnam and the Spratly Islands (Nansha Islands, one by one wooden report that I note), with offshore about 370 km.
China, Taiwan and Vietnam claim the entire Spratly Islands and adjacent waters sovereignty over Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei claim that on the coast from their respective sovereignty over the islands recently. In addition to all the above countries outside Brunei and the region have troops in the disputed area. Have occurred over the past several decades of armed conflict and confrontation, which occurred in several major showdown between China and Vietnam. However; the South China Sea in the framework of ASEAN has been very successful control. However, the potential for territorial conflict temporarily shelved becoming increasingly difficult, as the region's increasing demand for oil and gas, new technologies also provide further from the coast where the sea bed found in deeper offshore fields means. Large regions of the South China Sea has the most advanced offshore drilling platform capability and range.
Eighties and nineties of last century, the Chinese military may now be sufficient to defeat regional rival to win sovereignty over the South China Sea, as long as China is determined to do so. However, China's international reputation, Southeast Asia, regional stability and maritime center of China and ASEAN relations will have to pay what price?
Beijing may be in the sovereignty over the South China Sea after reiterated initiative back. Although China is currently building its own deep-sea drilling platform, but the first such platform must be completed in 2011. Beijing has publicly stated that there is more likely to engage in the disputed waters of the common energy development, and just last month, the East China Sea with Japan reached such an agreement. But in a place like the South China Sea countries and regions that have claimed sovereignty over the region to reach a workable agreement, the difficulty is much greater.
At the same time, as China's onshore oil and gas production can not meet the surging demand, China's domestic requirements, in its claim to sovereignty over the offshore oil and gas development areas the pressure is constantly great.
