Demilitarize the Asian Seas

Fiery Cross ReefRINJ Women suggest the official name “Asian Seas“ be applied to include what was formerly known as The East China Sea and The South China Sea.

Why? Disambiguation. These are international waters. China is now claiming that because of the name, that China owns the oceans therein.

A protest organized by regional humanitarian groups seeks to rename the China Seas to Asian Seas for disambiguation reasons and to remind the world of the Asian communities surrounding the Asian Seas.

All this military buildup that has grown to the point where nuclear submarines are smashing into things below the water is endangering millions of ordinary women and their children and families.

“These regions are comprised of Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Japanese, Filipinos, Thais, Vietnamese, South Koreans, North Koreans, and many more too many to name enumerating up to 4 billion people and we do not want our region sacrificed to American and Australian hegemony nor do we want our waterways congested with American warships of any kind,” say the organizers of a series of  protests planned to start 11 November 2o21.

International Court Tribunals have denied the legitimacy of China claiming to own the Asian Seas. (Tribunal Decision).

Mankind must seek

  1. * reversing via cleanup and strong undertakings by the parties, the pollution in the South and East China Seas which has negatively impacted climate change and imposed a burden on humanity;
  2. * reversing the militarization of the South China Sea by the United States of America, Australia, Canada, Britain, and the Peoples Republic of China;
  3. * ending the China military transgressions of sovereign boundaries, belligerence, and bullying by China against all its neighbours, not limited to but including Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan, Vietnam and Malaysia plus others;
  4. * ending China stealing the fishing catch of neighbouring nations’ vessels; prevent the theft of fishing gear of China’s neighbours’ vessels; and preventing China from sinking fishing vessels of its neighbours;
  5. * support and adoption of the 12 July 2016 decision of the Arbitral Tribunal Constituted Under Annex VII to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which said China does not own the South China Sea which is shared by 7.8 billion people around the world;
  6. * convincing those nearly eight billion people around the world that they too have helped make a polluted mess of the South Asian Sea; and
  7. * teach the nations surrounding the South Asian Sea that this resource is a blessed gift to all humans and must be preserved in a better ecological, human-friendly state, to become naturally harmonious to its sea life, sea birds, and indigenous vegetation.
