Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Maritime history of the world was formed, survived and
developed for over 70 thousand years. Particularly in Southeast Asian according
to world historians.
In the Southeast Asian is recognized as the cradle of human
civilization development for the peaceful coexistence of races in the region,
including our Vietnamese people.
At the beginning of maritime developing tens of thousands of
years ago, China had not even existed. China’s presence was only around 2500
BC. At this time, the words such as “marine,” “Ocean” are all unfamiliar to the
Chinese, let alone the records.
Thousands of years ago, the Sea of Southeast Asia known as
“Yüeh sea” – That means “Viet sea.”
Not until the 16th century, the Portuguese merchant came and
did the mapping of the Southeast Asia. They callously called it the “South
China Sea” – a lazy way. This is short-sighted, and this is a huge mistake
because Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia are simply NOT China or
any parts of China. They are different and independent nations. They have their
own cultural, civilization, the shoreline, and trans-oceanic maritime way
before Chinese came.
Note that the Western merchants and missionaries as well
have arrived from Southeast Asia by first landed on the Vietnamese ports, then
on the road to China mainland afterward.
Due to the wrong and unfortunate name was called the “South
China Sea,” it causes the Chinese communist today (founded on 1949) to take
advantage. They sent troops to invade the Paracels islands (1974); Gac Ma,
Spratly Islands (1988) from the Vietnamese people.
From 1974 to 2016 China has aggressively militarized the
Paracels and the Spratly islands by building the naval bases, the military
garrisons, airstrips, lighthouses. They also control the customs duty along
strategic waterway on the Southeast Asia Sea. They deployed air missile platforms
of all sorts (sea-to-air, surface-to-air). Their nuclear submarine fleets are
also seen present in the region.
July 12, 2016, the Permanent Court of International
Arbitration in The Hague the Netherlands has ruled against China; and rejected
China's false sovereignty claim on the entire Southeast Asian Sea; however, the
Court has no authority to impose sanctions against any countries which are not
complying with the ruling.
Six years ago, Nguyen Thai Hoc Foundation (http://nguyenthaihocfoundation.org)
had launched a campaign to change the name South China Sea to Southeast Asia
Sea and attracted more than 85,566 signed-up supporters (September 26, 2016)
from 134 countries.
Today, once again we the Vietnamese call on the
consciousness of the international, especially Southeast Asian opinions. We
solemnly launch the online campaign to rename the “South China Sea” into the “
Vietnam Sea.”
The last campaign (carried out on 2010) and the present one
(2016) are all in sync with each other to re-enforce the utter rejection of
the wrong and unfortunate use of the “China South Sea” name on the Vietnamese
coast.
There are four reasons for the new campaign:
1 / Philippines with the Philippine Sea and West Philippines
Sea, Indonesian Natuna Sea, Amanda Sea for Thailand, Malaysia has the Java Sea.
2 / Vietnamese’ coastline is up to 11 409, 1 kilometer -
three times the previous calculation according to the World Resources Institute
(Word Resources Institute) and the United Nations Environment Organization.
Vietnam Sea area has over 1 million kilometers under The United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982 - accounted for almost 30% of
the Southeast Asia Sea.
3/ Freedom of navigation is the sacred right of humanity.
There is no single country which can militarily control and or prohibit the
exploration of natural resources of the sea; as China has been doing.
4/ The renaming from the South China Sea to Vietnam Sea is
consistent with international law, regional and geographical reality. Also,
this will contribute positively to the promotion of world peace.
The Vietnamese Sea Association, we do not oppose the name
the South China Sea, but this name needs to be adjusted to suit the
geographical reality. It means that the name of China South Sea is to be used
and recorded in the adjacent of China coastline, not use and recorded for
Vietnamese coastline. Note that the Southern coast of China is measured only
about 2,800 km (1,750 miles).
The South China Sea is recorded only from the coast of
China's Hainan Island to the boundary. Hainan Island has never been 200
nautical miles “territory waters” (i.e mer territorial).
China Nation as a G20 and the Security Council member, needs
to respect international law and justice.
Please join the campaign to demand the Presidents, Prime
Minister of 11 Southeast Asian nations, the UN, the CEOs and Presidents of 11
geographic organizations around the world, the CEOs Dictionary Editors to
rename the South China Sea to the Vietnam Sea.
Russian and China launched joint naval drill in Vietnam Sea
(Southeast Asia Sea) from 14-09 to 20-09-2016. This provocative act couldt
earily start the war in the East Sea between China and its neighboring
countries. The renaming of the South China Sea to Vietnam Sea is imminent for
this moment and the Vietnamese people.
Please take just action by signing the petition. Your
signature is crucial to make a maritime history of this 21st century and will
forever be remembered in Vietnam Sea, Southeast Asia Sea modern history.
This campaign is your campaign. We respectfully call for
your participation to change the name of “South China Sea” into “Vietnam Sea.”
The campaign has no time limit.
