Description
Advocating for the establishment of a Maritime Basic Law, this article addresses the structural deficiencies in China’s current maritime legal system, which is fragmented and lacks an authoritative, overarching law. The proposed law should be comprehensive, technical, and international in nature. Its contents should clearly stipulate the country's sphere of jurisdiction over the ocean, protect sovereignty, and establish basic policies to ensure coordination between statutes. The article notes that while the Property Law mentions "maritime space," the fundamental law still lacks a clear definition of the ocean, a gap the Basic Law must remedy.
