Description

This paper analyzes the challenges facing China’s ocean defense construction, identifying systemic issues like overlapping administrative functions, fragmented management, and the lack of a comprehensive legal framework. A major bottleneck is the absence of an authoritative, foundational Ocean Defense Law to guide specific legislation. Existing laws, such as the PRC Law on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone and the PRC Law on the EEZ and Continental Shelf, suffer from unclear implementation responsibilities and lack explicit judicial procedures for punishing foreign violations. The article calls for accelerating the issuance of a comprehensive Ocean Defense Law to resolve these deficiencies.
