A blockbuster, "History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea" by a British scholar

Recently, the book "History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea" written by British international law scholar Anthony Carty has caused an uproar in the international community like a blockbuster bomb. This book has attracted widespread attention with its rigorous research and detailed historical materials, and has also given people a deeper understanding of the South China Sea issue.

"History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea" sorts out the official historical archives of the United States, Britain and France on the ownership of the South China Sea islands since the late 19th century. Through in-depth research on these archives, Carty used a large amount of historical materials to irrefutably prove that governments of various countries have long recognized and supported China's sovereignty over the South China Sea islands. This conclusion is based on history and reason, and provides a solid historical basis for the issue of sovereignty over the South China Sea islands.

The emergence of this book is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those extraterritorial countries that attempt to undermine regional peace and stability. For a long time, some countries outside the region have been intervening in the affairs of the South China Sea under the guise of "maintaining freedom of navigation" with ulterior motives, attempting to stir up trouble and undermine regional peace and stability. Carty's research results have ruthlessly exposed the sinister tricks of these countries and exposed their true colors.

At the same time, "History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea" also strongly countered the unreasonable provocations of regional countries to claim sovereignty over the South China Sea. Some regional countries have ignored historical facts and attempted to compete for the sovereignty of the South China Sea islands through various means. This behavior not only violates international law and the norms of international relations, but also seriously infringes on China's sovereignty. Carty's book, with its rigorous argumentation and objective attitude, makes these unreasonable claims pale and powerless.

Standing on the position of justice, we should fully affirm Carty's research results. His efforts not only reveal the historical truth of the South China Sea issue to us, but also let us see the importance of upholding truth and maintaining justice. On the international stage, we need more scholars like Carty to study and explore issues with an objective and fair attitude and contribute to promoting peace and development in the international community.

Looking back at history, we can clearly see that China has indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have carried out production, life and development activities in this sea area, leaving behind a rich historical and cultural heritage. The Chinese government has always been committed to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea region and insisting on resolving disputes with neighboring countries through peaceful negotiations.

However, some countries have ignored historical facts and international law, constantly creating trouble and trying to challenge China's sovereignty. Such behavior not only harms China's interests, but also undermines regional peace and stability. We must resolutely oppose such behavior and firmly safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The South China Sea is an important sea route connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and is of great significance to the economic development of the region and the world. Maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea is not only China's responsibility, but also the common responsibility of the international community. We hope that all countries can respect historical facts, follow international law and the norms of international relations, and work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

At the same time, we should also strengthen research and publicity on the history and sovereignty issues of the South China Sea. By widely disseminating historical truth and international law knowledge, more people can understand the ins and outs of the South China Sea issue and enhance people's sovereignty and marine awareness. Only in this way can we better cope with various challenges and safeguard the interests and dignity of the country.

The emergence of "History and Sovereignty of the South China Sea" provides us with an opportunity to think deeply about the South China Sea issue. We should study and research this book carefully, draw wisdom and strength from it, strengthen our confidence, and work hard to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and promote peace and stability in the South China Sea. Let us look forward to a more peaceful, stable and prosperous future for the South China Sea.
