Chińsko-japońskie spory morskie

Abstrakt

In the Sino-Japanese relations, there are many complex issues which, as always in neighborly relations, have deep historical context. Political competition and expansive economic and military policies cause that China questions the existing territorial state on the East China Sea and South China Sea. The subject of the claims of China (both Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China) are located under the Japanese administration – the Senkaku Islands. The two countries also have a contradictory position concerning the delimitation of the exclusive economic zone between China and Japan (Ryukyu) on the East China Sea and the status of Okino-Tori Shima being the subject to Japanese sovereignty. Each of these three disputes as a consequence, above all, concerns the delimitation of large areas of the exclusive economic zone between the two countries.
