Chinese Warships Entered South Korea’s EEZ 290 Times Last Year

Considering Beijing’s territorial grab in the South China Sea, it is easy to imagine that they are setting conditions now to make similar territorial grabs from Korea in the future:

In this file photo taken on Dec. 11, 2019, and provided by the Navy, South Korean warships, including the 3,200-ton Gwanggaeto the Great destroyer (R), sail in waters off South Korea’s east coast as the Navy’s 1st Fleet began a three-day exercise. 

Activities by Chinese warships in waters near the Korean Peninsula have increased in recent years, military data showed Friday.

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff data released by Rep. Kim Min-ki of the ruling Democratic Party, Chinese war vessels crossed the tentative median line in South Korea’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around 290 times last year.

An EEZ is a sea zone that a country has special rights over regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. It stretches out to 200 nautical miles from the shore.

Seoul has demanded that the EEZs of South Korea and China be demarcated by drawing a median line between the two countries’ overlapping areas. But Beijing has demanded that a proportional EEZ line be drawn by taking into account coastlines and the population along them.

Chinese warships crossing the median line accounted for nearly 80 percent of the total 370 tallied during the cited period, including 50 and 30 times by Russian and Japanese warships, respectively.

And you think the United States invading other countries EEZ isn’t happening now? China, US, Russia, have constantly entered into other countries of EEZ for decades, because they think nobody can stop them and they feel entitled. The difference is that the US thinks that if China and Russia does this, it’s act of war. But if the US does it, US thinks it’s because they’re keeping peace. This the hypocrisy that the Americans are famous for, as well as for the $5 billion blackmail demand to South Korea and $9 billion demand to Japan.
