　　2016年7月12日，菲律宾南海仲裁案仲裁庭裁决结果公布后，中国政府发表了《中华人民共和国政府关于在南海的领土主权和海洋权益的声明》，中国外交部发表了《中华人民共和国外交部关于应菲律宾共和国请求建立的南海仲裁案仲裁庭所作裁决的声明》。这两份声明明确阐述了中方不接受、不承认仲裁庭裁决结果的严正立场。我愿就近日提出的以下几个问题作出阐述。

　　After the Arbitral Tribunal in theSouth China Sea arbitration established at the unilateral request of theRepublic of the Philippines (hereinafter referred to as “the ArbitralTribunal”) announced its award on 12 July 2016, the Chinese Government issued“the Statement on China’s Territorial Sovereignty and Maritime Rights andInterests in the South China Sea”, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued “theStatement on the Award of 12 July 2016 of the Arbitral Tribunal in the SouthChina Sea Arbitration Established at the Request of the Republic of thePhilippines”. Both Statementsexplicitly expound on China’s solemn position that China neither accepts norrecognizes it. Now I wish to elaborate on some questions raised recently.

　　一、为何中国一直坚持不接受、不参与仲裁的立场?

　　1. WhyChina from the beginning has been upholding its position of neither acceptingnor participating in the arbitration?

　　第一，菲律宾提起仲裁事项的实质是南沙群岛部分岛礁的领土主权问题，有关事项也必然涉及中菲海洋划界，与之不可分割。在明知领土问题不属于《联合国海洋法公约》调整范围，海洋划界争议已被中国2006年有关声明排除的情况下，菲律宾将有关争议刻意包装成单纯的《公约》解释或适用问题。

　　First, the subject-matter of thearbitration initiated by the Philippines is in essence an issue of territorialsovereignty over some islands and reefs of Nansha Qundao (the Nansha Islands),and inevitably concerns and cannot be separated from maritime delimitationbetween China and the Philippines. Fully aware that territorial issues are notsubject to the United Nations Convention onthe Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and that maritime delimitation disputes havebeen excluded from the UNCLOScompulsory dispute settlement procedures by China’s 2006 declaration, thePhilippines deliberately packaged the relevant disputes as mere issues concerningthe interpretation or application of UNCLOS.

　　第二，菲律宾单方面提起仲裁，侵犯中国作为《公约》缔约国享有的自主选择争端解决程序和方式的权利。中国早在2006年即根据《公约》第298条将涉及海洋划界、历史性海湾或所有权、军事和执法活动等方面的争端排除出《公约》强制争端解决程序。

　　Second, the Philippines’ unilateralinitiation of arbitration infringes upon China’s right as a state party to UNCLOS to choose on its own will theprocedures and means for dispute settlement. As early as in 2006, pursuant to Article 298 of UNCLOS, China excluded from the compulsory dispute settlementprocedures of UNCLOS disputesconcerning, among others, maritime delimitation, historic bays or titles,military and law enforcement activities.

　　第三，菲律宾单方面提起仲裁，违反中菲两国达成并多年来一再确认的通过谈判解决南海有关争议的双边协议。

　　Third, the Philippines’ unilateralinitiation of arbitration violates the bilateral agreement reached betweenChina and the Philippines, and repeatedly reaffirmed over the years, to resolverelevant disputes in the South China Sea through negotiations.

　　第四，菲律宾单方面提起仲裁，违反中国与包括菲律宾在内的东盟国家在2002年《南海各方行为宣言》(以下简称《宣言》)中作出的由直接有关当事国通过谈判解决有关争议的承诺。菲律宾单方面提起仲裁，违反了《公约》及其适用争端解决程序的规定，违反了“约定必须遵守”原则，也违反了其他国际法原则和规则。

　　Fourth, the Philippines’ unilateralinitiation of arbitration violates the commitment made by China and ASEANMember States, including the Philippines, in the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC)to resolve the relevant disputes through negotiations by states directlyconcerned. By unilaterally initiating the arbitration, the Philippines violatesUNCLOS and its provisions on theapplication of dispute settlement procedures, the principle of "pacta suntservanda" and other rules and principles of international law.

　　二、为何中国拒绝仲裁庭裁决结果?

　　2. Whydoes China reject the award by the Arbitral Tribunal?

　　第一，仲裁庭无视菲律宾提起仲裁事项的实质是领土主权和海洋划界问题。

　　First, the Arbitral Tribunaldisregards the fact that the essence of the subject-matter of the arbitrationinitiated by the Philippines is issues of territorial sovereignty and maritimedelimitation.

　　第二，仲裁庭错误解读中菲对争端解决方式的共同选择，错误解读《宣言》中有关承诺的法律效力。

　　Second, the Arbitral Tribunalerroneously interprets the common choice of means of dispute settlement alreadymade jointly by China and the Philippines, erroneously construes the legaleffect of the relevant commitment in DOC.

　　第三，仲裁庭恶意规避中国根据《公约》第298条作出的排除性声明，有选择性地把有关岛礁从南海诸岛的宏观地理背景中剥离出来并主观想象地解释和适用《公约》，在认定事实和适用法律上存在明显错误。

　　Third, the Arbitral Tribunaldeliberately circumvents the optional exceptions declaration made by Chinaunder Article 298 of UNCLOS, selectively takes relevantislands and reefs out of the macro-geographical framework of Nanhai Zhudao (theSouth China Sea Islands), subjectively and speculatively interprets and appliesUNCLOS, and obviously errs inascertaining facts and applying the law.

　　第四，仲裁庭的行为及其裁决严重背离国际仲裁一般实践，完全背离《公约》促进和平解决争端的目的及宗旨，严重损害《公约》的完整性和权威性，严重侵犯中国作为主权国家和《公约》缔约国的合法权利，是不公正和不合法的。

　　Fourth, the conduct of the ArbitralTribunal and its awards seriously contravene the general practice ofinternational arbitration, completely deviate from the object and purpose of UNCLOS to promote peaceful settlement ofdisputes, substantially impair the integrity and authority of UNCLOS, gravely infringe upon China’slegitimate rights as a sovereign state and state party to UNCLOS, and are unjust and unlawful.

　　三、中国是否会调整其对南海的主张?

　　3. WillChina adjust its claims in the South China Sea?

　　中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益拥有坚实的历史和法律根基，不受所谓仲裁庭裁决的影响。

　　China’s territorial sovereignty andmaritime rights and interests in the South China Sea are based on solidhistorical and legal ground. They shall not be affected by the award by theArbitral Tribunal in the South China Sea arbitration.

　　中国政府2016年7月12日发布的声明，再次阐明了中国在南海所拥有的领土主权和海洋权益。包括中国对南海诸岛拥有主权;中国基于南海诸岛主权拥有内水、领海、毗连区、专属经济区和大陆架;中国在南海拥有历史性权利。

　　The statement issued by theGovernment of the People’s Republic of China on July 12, 2016 reaffirmed China’sterritorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South ChinaSea, which include, inter alia: China has sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao (theSouth China Sea Islands); China has internal waters, territorial sea,contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and continental shelf based on itssovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao; and China has historic rights in the SouthChina Sea.

　　中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益，不是今天才提出来的新主张，包括南海断续线在内，都是在长期历史过程中形成的客观事实，为历届中国政府所坚持。任何势力企图以任何方式贬损或否定中方的领土主权和海洋权益，都将是徒劳的。在领土主权和海洋权益问题上，中国不会接受任何未经中方同意的第三方解决方式，不会接受任何强加于中国的解决方案。这个充满争议和不公的临时仲裁庭代表不了国际法，代表不了国际法治，更代表不了国际公平与正义。

　　China’s territorial sovereignty andmaritime rights and interests in the South China Sea are not new claims. These,including the dotted line, have been formed in the long course of history, andhave been upheld by the successive Chinese governments. Any attempt by anyforce to undermine or deny in any way China’s territorial sovereignty andmaritime rights and interests will be futile and will fail. On issues ofterritorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, China will notaccept any means of third-party dispute settlement without China’s priorconsent or any imposed solution. This temporary tribunal, unjust and highlycontroversial, does not stand for international law, the rule of law or equityand justice in the world.

　　四、如何解决南海争端?

　　4. How toresolve the disputes in the South China Sea?

　　仲裁案以及由此引发的恶意炒作和政治操弄，将南海问题带入了一个加剧紧张对抗的危险境地，完全不利于维护本地区的和平稳定，完全不符合中菲两国、地区国家和整个国际社会的共同利益。现在，这场闹剧已经结束，是回到正确轨道的时候了。

　　The arbitration and theout-of-bad-faith dramatization and political manipulation that ensued have putthe South China Sea issue to a dangerous situation, with growing tension andconfrontation. It is detrimental to peace and stability in the region, and itdoes not serve the common interests of China and the Philippines, countries inthe region or the wider international community. Now the farce is over. It istime that things come back to normal.

　　中国尊重和支持各国依据国际法在南海享有的航行和飞越自由，愿与其他沿岸国和国际社会合作，维护南海国际航运通道的安全和畅通。

　　China respects and upholds thefreedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all states under internationallaw in the South China Sea, and stays ready to work with other coastal statesand the international community to ensure the safety of and the unimpededaccess to the international shipping lanes in the South China Sea.

　　中国坚持全面有效落实《南海各方行为宣言》，并在此框架下推进“南海行为准则”磋商进程。愿继续与直接有关当事国在尊重历史事实的基础上，根据国际法，通过谈判协商和平解决南海有关争议。中国愿同有关直接当事国尽一切努力作出实际性的临时安排，包括在相关海域进行共同开发，实现互利共赢，共同维护南海和平稳定。

　　China is committed to the full andeffective implementation of DOC, andwill work to advance the consultations on a Codeof Conduct within the framework of DOC.China stands ready to continue to resolve the relevant disputes peacefullythrough negotiation and consultation with the states directly concerned on thebasis of respecting historical facts and in accordance with international law.Pending final settlement, China is also ready to make every effort with thestates directly concerned to enter into provisional arrangements of a practicalnature, including joint development in relevant maritime areas, in order toachieve win-win results and jointly maintain peace and stability in the SouthChina Sea.

　　中国是国际秩序的建设者、国际和地区和平稳定的维护者。发展与周边国家的睦邻友好，是中国持之以恒的既定方针;维护本地区的和平稳定，是中国当仁不让的国际责任;坚持走和平发展道路，是中国坚定不移的战略选择。

　　China is a contributor to globalorder, international and regional peace and stability. China is committed togrow good-neighborly and friendly relations with its neighbors. China has aninternational responsibility to uphold peace and stability in this region, andChina will remain firm in its strategic determination to pursue peacefuldevelopment.
