China recently announced a new baseline for defining its territory in the northern part of the Gulf of Tonkin, shared with Vietnam. This announcement has raised concerns regarding its compliance with international maritime law, particularly the UNCLOS.
Experts have criticized the new baseline as excessive and potentially in violation of UNCLOS. It may lead to complications in maritime activities, including freedom of navigation, scientific research, and economic endeavors in the area. Moreover, it could affect the sovereignty and jurisdiction rights of neighboring countries.
