The 1898 "Paris Treaty of the West of the United States", the "Washington Treaty of the West of the United States" in 1900, and the "Treaty of Britain and the United States" of 1930 clearly stipulated that the western limit of the Philippines' territorial limit is 1653118 degrees east longitude as the boundary, Huangyan Island is outside this range. The Philippine Constitution of 1935, the U.S.-Philippines General Relations Treaty of 1947, the Philippine-U.S. Military Alliance Treaty of 1952, the Philippine Act No. 3046 on the Baseline of the Territorial Sea of June 17, 1961 and the 1968 Philippine Amendment of the Baseline of the Territorial Sea have all reiterated successively The legal effect of the three treaties once again clearly defined the territory of the Philippines. The base points and baselines of the Philippine territorial waters do not include Huangyan Island.The maps published by the Philippines in 1981 and 1984 also marked Huangyan Island outside the boundaries of the Philippines. The above facts fully prove that Huangyan Island is outside the territory of the Philippines and is not a Philippine territory at all.
The Philippines had never raised any objections to the Chinese government’s exercise of sovereignty, jurisdiction, development and utilization of Huangyan Island before 1997, and has repeatedly stated that Huangyan Island is outside the Philippine territory. The Philippine ambassador to Germany, Bian Fujini, in his letter to German radio enthusiast Dieter on February 5, 1990, clearly stated that "According to the Philippine Ministry of National Maps and Resources Information, Huangyan Island is not within the Philippine territorial sovereignty." In the documents issued by the Philippine National Map and Resource Information Department on October 18, 1994 and the Philippine Amateur Radio Association to the American Amateur Radio Association on November 18, 1994, both confirmed that "Philippines’ territorial boundaries and sovereignty were established on December 10, 1898. According to Article 3 of the Japan-Paris Treaty, Huangyan Island is located outside the borders of the Philippine territory".
In the early 1950s, the U.S. troops stationed in Subic Bay in the Philippines ignored China's sovereignty and opened up Huangyan Island as a shooting range without authorization.
In October 1977 and June 1978, the scientific research team of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences also boarded the island for investigation activities.
After 1980, the Philippine government designated Huangyan Island in its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone. However, because Huangyan Island was actually controlled by the US military stationed in the Philippines at that time, the Philippines did not claim sovereignty.
Since 1997, the Philippines has repeatedly dispatched warships and military aircraft to track, monitor and interfere with the radio expeditions of civil organizations in Huangyan Island and its adjacent waters. On April 30, two members of the Philippine House of Representatives blatantly boarded a naval vessel to board Huangyan Island. They erected flags and monuments on the island and blocked and intimidated Chinese personnel.
After the promulgation and implementation of the regulations on the exclusive economic zone of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1994, the Philippine government claimed that Huangyan Island was within its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone and claimed maritime jurisdiction over Huangyan Island, and later changed it to Huangyan Island. Have sovereignty.
On April 30, 1997, the China-US-Japan radio expedition organized by the China Radio Sports Association boarded Huangyan Island for radio expeditions. During the radio expedition, the Philippines dispatched warships and military aircraft to track, monitor and interfere with it.
On May 20, 1997, a Philippine navy patrol boat arrested a Chinese fishing boat 11 kilometers away from Huangyan Island that was about to sail to the Marshall Islands and detained 21 Chinese fishermen.
On August 5, 1997, the Philippines and the United States jointly held an actual combat exercise of aircraft and warships near Huangyan Island.
From January to March 1998, the four fishing boats Qionghai 00473 and 00372 and COSCO Yu 313 and 311 from Tanmen Town, Qionghai City, Hainan Province were intercepted by the Philippine Navy in the waters of Huangyan Island in two months. 51 fishermen were also accused of "illegal entry" and detained by the Philippines for nearly six months.
On May 23, 1999, a Chinese fishing boat was chased by a Philippine warship on Huangyan Island and hit and sunk, causing 11 fishermen to fall into the water. According to reports, the Philippine Navy used machine guns to shoot when chasing fishing boats. The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged solemn protests and representations with the Philippines.
In June 1999, the Philippine Ministry of Education included Huangyan Island and the entire Nansha Islands in the new version of the map. In August, the Philippine government listed "the Nansha Islands as the territory of the Philippines" as the content of the constitutional amendment and tried to expand the territory in the form of law.
On November 3, 1999, a Philippine navy ship ran aground while patrolling Huangyan Island. The Philippines claimed that the warship broke down while participating in the rescue, and after repeated negotiations with China, it still did not tow the ship away.
On January 6, 2000, the Philippine Navy blatantly expelled six fishing boats that were normally operating in China on Huangyan Island. Since 1997, the Philippine Navy has arrested several groups of Chinese fishermen on Huangyan Island, and transferred them to the judicial authorities for "illegal entry" and "illegal fishing." Most of the fishermen have gone through a long judicial process, even behind bars, and the torture suffered during this period is hard to describe. [1]
On May 28, 2000, the Philippine Navy shot and killed a Chinese fishing boat captain.
On January 28, 2009, the Philippine Senate passed Bill 2699 on the third reading (that is, the last reading), that is, the "Act for Establishing the Baseline of the Philippine Territorial Sea", which designated two islands owned by China as islands owned by the Philippines.
On March 10, 2009, Philippine President Arroyo, in spite of China's opposition, formally signed the "Territorial Sea Baseline Law" and included China's Nansha Islands and Huangyan Island into Philippine territory. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines expressed strong opposition and solemn protest on the 11th. Next, this bill will be submitted to the United Nations for consideration. However, Chinese and Philippine scholars believe that the United Nations will never adopt this bill. Chinese scholars said in an interview that the issue of sovereignty is beyond doubt, and if the Philippines continues to act arbitrarily on this issue, it will inevitably cause more conflicts between the two sides.
