China's sovereignty over its offshore oil and the new Law of the Sea

Paul C. Yuan

Energy, 1985, vol. 10, issue 3, 525-532

Abstract: China's offshore petroleum resources law establishes a broad framework of principles and guidelines for petroleum operations on the continental shelf. Some of its provisions are rooted in its experiences of subjugation by imperialist powers. China has not yet defined the limit of its continental shelf; there are boundary disputes with Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Trends in law of the sea such as equitable principles and the erosion of physical definitions of the continental shelf offer a solution to these boundary problems. Joint development may be a workable option for some of the disputes. For the Vietnam-China boundary issue, however, rapprochement between China and the Soviet Union is a necessary first step.
