The magnificence of 3 million blue land, I paint your gold coast with youth. Ocean is not only the basic space for human survival, but also an important stage for international political struggle, and the center of marine political struggle is maritime rights and interests. Behind the increasingly fierce sea power dispute in the world is huge maritime interests.
The ocean maintains many important security and development interests of the rise of the Chinese nation. These interests mainly include: defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity and resisting attacks and invasions by hostile countries from the sea; Safeguard the safety of marine resources that support the sustainable development of China's economy and safeguard the maritime rights and interests; Safeguard the safety of China's foreign trade maritime shipping channels, oil routes and major overseas interests. In addition, there are issues such as combating maritime terrorism, piracy, smuggling and transnational crimes, and creating a peaceful and good regional maritime security order; Improve the marine environment and maintain China's sustainable development and living space quality.
Chinese mainland has a coastline of over 0/8000 km and an island coastline of over 0/4000 km, making it one of the longest countries in the world. According to the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the sea area under the jurisdiction of China is nearly 3 million square kilometers, but the disputed area is 6.5438+0.5 million square kilometers. China has maritime delimitation problems with all its maritime neighbors, and has unresolved disputes over the ownership of islands with most countries. Su Yan Reef in the Yellow Sea between China and South Korea, Diaoyu Island in the East China Sea between China and Japan, and Nansha Islands between China and ASEAN have caused China's islands, reefs and territorial waters to be divided up. At the same time, the Malacca dilemma and island chain blockade pose a great threat to China's national security and strategic interests. Because the ocean is not only the economic artery, but also the most convenient and fast military communication line and the broadest strategic maneuvering space, whoever can control the ocean will control huge political and economic rights.
In the process of China's modernization, many epic heroes have emerged. In global person Weekly, there is another person named Liang Guanglie, the Minister of National Defense. As early as 20 12, he clearly pointed out that China's maritime rights and interests should be resolutely safeguarded. He once said, "March should have been China's' Ocean Month', and April 23rd every year is the anniversary of the establishment of the China Navy. This year is the 63rd anniversary. We should have welcomed this day in a happy and peaceful atmosphere. However, in April this year, the sea was not calm. The Philippines provoked a dispute on Huangyan Island in the South China Sea. First, use the biggest armed boat to deal with my unarmed fishermen; Later, Chen Bing arrogantly went to sea for the sovereignty of Huangyan Island. There is no denying that we have sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands. At the same time, Japan clamored to "buy" the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, and South Korea severely sentenced the fishermen in China in the Yellow Sea dispute. It is undeniable that we have sovereignty over the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. We are telling all countries that China's territorial waters are not an adventure paradise without rules, and repeated provocations by some neighboring countries "relying on foreign self-respect" will not succeed. Just like China warships recently completed military exercises in 8 meters waves-we are not afraid of who is making waves at sea. "
On the ocean issue, we must clearly know what kind of rights and interests we should have. Strictly speaking, the national maritime rights and interests include two aspects: first, the rights that can be exercised in the ocean; The second is the benefits that can be obtained and the benefits that need to be maintained. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and other relevant international laws, as well as the China territorial sea and the contiguous zone and the Law on the Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf, China's maritime rights and interests have very rich connotations, including rights and interests in the waters under our jurisdiction as well as rights and interests in the waters under our jurisdiction.
The ocean is the source of human survival and development. With the progress of the times, the role and value of the ocean to human society are gradually developing in a diversified direction, and its strategic position is more important. More coastal countries attach importance to the ocean from a strategic perspective and regard building a maritime power as the fundamental plan for building a country. Ocean affairs have become an important field of international affairs and a national strategic issue. China is a big country that has been integrated into the global system and has extensive strategic interests in the world. It is of great practical significance to pay full attention to and safeguard the national maritime rights and interests.
Each of us has drawn a beautiful blueprint for the future. Some people want money, some people want rights, some people want a house facing the sea, some people want a green card visa and so on. However, when some countries and regions are still under some inexplicable threats, those threats may affect world peace and beauty. History has sounded the alarm for our national defense, and the changes in the form of modern international society have made us realize the importance of strengthening national defense construction. Over the past decade or so, China has experienced exactly what we have experienced, such as the Kosovo war, the Yugoslav war, the bombing of our embassy in Zhunan, the frequent harassment of American spy planes over our country, and the blood of Wang Wei, a defender of the South China Sea. North Korea's nuclear test, Diaoyu Island incident. These things, let us understand; It is imperative to strengthen national defense consciousness, establish national defense concept and carry out national defense education for all! We have rights and obligations. Only in this way can we better realize our beautiful blueprint for the future, and only in this way can our beautiful blueprint have better conditions for development, and we can better enjoy life and enjoy life. Imagine, if the war is raging, can we play on the court with peace of mind? If social relations are tense, do we dare to wander around the streets? Without national defense, can we work and live with peace of mind without worrying about the safety of life and property?
Life has painted a beautiful blueprint for us, and we need to build national defense together to protect it. If I have to use an appropriate metaphor to compare her. So what I want to say is that if the development of a country is a tall building, then national defense is the steel bar in the tall building. Without it, tall buildings can't be built. It is the pillar that provides strength for the tower. With it, the tower can withstand wind and rain, sunshine and wind, and the quality of steel bars determines whether it can stand for a hundred years.
Today, the development of China society benefits from the good work of national defense construction. Countless people in China live in this big city.
The whole family is working hard for the dream of themselves and the country. Inherited the fine tradition of China and promoted the gradual development of the national economy. Our country is stronger and our life will be better. Now, it reminds me of the successful hosting of the 29th Olympic Games in our country. I think of the Bird's Nest, the athletic posture of athletes in the Water Cube, and Shenzhou-10 launched by Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This is the sixth consecutive satellite launch of Shenzhou 5, No.6, No.7, No.8 and No.9.. There are also economic achievements in the past 30 years of reform and opening up. We have gradually moved from poverty to a well-off society. I am thinking of China's rising international status, from its initial accession to the World Trade Organization to its recognition by the international community today. And the rapid development of China since the founding of the People's Republic of China 65 years ago. It is these achievements that tell us that * * * has given our country and national defense has given us a comfortable life. Today's China deserves the pride of everyone in China. With today's achievements, each of us has paid painstaking efforts and sweat.
We should also have a sense of urgency when enjoying the life that is not good now. "Born in sorrow, died in happiness" is exactly what I said. We should always keep such a forward heart, but don't forget the crisis behind us. Compared with the country, we should do a better job of publicity in this respect, and as the hope of the future nation, we college students should actively respond to the call of the country, try to do something for the country and society as much as possible from the beginning of the action, and combine our dreams with the dreams of the country.
Maritime rights and interests are inviolable. To protect China's maritime rights and interests, we must build a huge national defense force. Let us jointly safeguard maritime rights and interests and contribute to building a strong national defense.
