Context: This paper was written by my brother for a junior conference. He ended up winning 2nd Best Delegate at this conference.
[Committee: The United Nations Security Council
Delegation: The People’s Republic of China
Agenda: Addressing the Rising Tensions and the Current Situation in the South China Sea]
'“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War
In the modern era, we see
the rise of many tensions in the societies we live, work and interact. But sometimes, we
witness a specimen of tensions that seem to increase exponentially, the
foremost in this conference being the South China Sea, a hotbed of
controversies. With the advent of these tensions, China seeks to be diplomatic
but firm in its decisions about the South China Sea Tensions. We are here to
state our stances, expose the problem, and propose unique solutions to resolve these
tensions.
Let us discuss about how China
relates with each sub-agenda that might result from the agenda on the whole.
The agenda divides into three main sub-topics:
· a) The influence of China in the South China Sea along with its security implications:
China
holds a firm stance on this sub-topic that we will not falter in our attempt to
be a powerful nation in the South China Sea. We are already a great and
accepted political force among the South-East Asian nations and have not posed
a security threat for the world by being influential in the South China Sea.
Excepting the tension between China, Taiwan, India, and the other ASEAN nations
bordering the South China Sea, we have kept in peace with the rest of the world
on this front.
· b) The invasion of Taiwan by China:
Taiwan is
a very privileged and resource-rich nation, and the Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Corporation is the major company in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry.
This industry makes up over 60% of the semiconductors and 90% of the advanced
semiconductors produced in the world. China owning Taiwan will make China own
90% of the world’s advanced chips. This will, consequentially, boost China’s
GDP and Taiwan’s GDP. The One China policy is a diplomatic acknowledgement that
there is one China. This makes the U.S.A. (who has subscribed to this policy) forced
to recognize ties with China and not Taiwan. Taiwan is a breakaway province we
hope will get unified to the Chinese mainland. The One China policy ensures security
for Taiwan and an economic benefit for China. This is the main reasons why we
are pressurizing Taiwan to join to the Chinese mainland and are willing to
invade Taiwan if necessary.
· c) The various tensions between the ASEAN nations and China over the control of the South China Sea:
We have passed the Law on
the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, which lays out our historical
right to the entire South China Sea as it was culturally under the control of
China from 200 BCE to 9 CE. This includes our claim on island groups like the
Paracel, Spratly and Pratas Islands, along with the Macclesfield Bank. We
clearly pronounce our claims on these regions to be legitimate.
· 1) Create a new committee
titled the “Sino-ASEAN Maritime Security Committee,” which will bring together
the ASEAN nations and China to the negotiating table, to ensure maritime
security between nations, so that foreign shipments coming into the ASEAN
territories can use the Malacca and the Taiwanese straits without fear of being
caught in maritime combat.
· 2) Set up a treaty called the
“The Sino-ASEAN Normalization Treaty” to normalize relationships between China
and the ASEAN nations. We, if possible, can even redraw our maritime
territories that China and the ASEAN nations, even if it has to mean our
sacrifice of territory to ensure world security in South-East Asia.
· 3) Conduct military drills to
show our solidarity with Taiwan so as to give it the honest impression that
China is the optimum land to join to. China will make it a prosperous island,
furnished with even more opportunities, trading with us and the world,
flourishing, by joining with the Chinese Mainland.
The People’s Republic of
China concludes by stating that we will face skirmishes
and lot of backlashes on the way to world peace, but we will get to it together,
China, and the whole world.
