China is the country with the most neighbors in the world, so there are many territorial disputes. But now most of them have been resolved through negotiations, and among the many territorial disputes, the division of Bailongwei Island in the Beibu Gulf between China and Vietnam is particularly eye-catching. Bailongwei Island originally belonged to China's territory. Bailongwei Island covers an area of 3.045 square kilometers. It is located in the middle of Hainan Island in China and the coast of Vietnam. It is 120 kilometers away from Hainan Island and 120 kilometers away from Haiphong City in Vietnam.
China and Vietnam have many territorial disputes, mainly concentrated in the Nansha Islands and Xisha Islands. The Xisha Islands are currently under the actual control of China. In the Nansha Islands, Vietnam has occupied most of China's islands and reefs, and Vietnam has occupied most of the geographical conditions of the Nansha Islands. Superior islands. At present, China is still unable to take it back, but this small island in the Gulf of Tonkin, Bailongwei Island, was originally leased to Vietnam by China, but Vietnam did not return it, and it is still occupied by Vietnam so far.
But when it comes to the relationship between China and Vietnam, it is really hard to say. After all, China and Vietnam did have a good time fighting side by side, but no one thought that Vietnam would turn its guns to China and completely turn against China. . When the United States attacked Vietnam, China gave Vietnam a lot of help, a lot of weapons and equipment, and about 20 billion in funds, but the white-eyed wolf in Vietnam not only did not thank China, why is he called a white-eyed wolf? China helped him so much to provide him with food, weapons, and funds to fight against American aggression, but after knocking the United States away, he pointed his guns at China and wanted to invade China's territory and territorial waters, which led China to launch self-defense against Vietnam in 1979 In a narrow sense, the counterattack refers to the war that broke out between China and Vietnam on the Sino-Vietnamese border from February 17 to March 16, 1979. In a broad sense, it refers to the Sino-Vietnamese border military conflict between 1979 and 1989. If China hadn't helped Vietnam when the United States invaded Vietnam, I think Vietnam would have perished by now.
The area of Bailongwei Island is very small. When the tide is low, the area of this small island is only 3.05 square kilometers. The population of Bailongwei Island is about 900. It is precisely because of the small area of Bailongwei Island that the entire island is a hilly terrain with a raised middle, and the highest altitude is about 61m. The surrounding sea area is rich in fishery, rich in rare fish and seafood such as abalone, sea cucumber, red fish, squid, grouper, etc. It is a rare and excellent fishing ground. Bailongwei Island originally belonged to China's territory, but now it has been included in Vietnam's territory.
What is the strategic value of Bailongwei Island?
1. According to surveys, the Beibu Gulf has huge reserves of oil and gas resources, about 2.3 billion tons of oil and 1.4 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
2. The Beibu Gulf is an important sea transportation route in China's Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. In particular, Guangxi Beihai and Fangcheng ports can only go to sea through the Beibu Gulf. Bailongwei Island is a necessary place to go to sea, and its transportation status is particularly high.
3. Bailongwei Island has an extremely important strategic position, has excellent offshore defense advantages, and has great value in early warning in the air.
None of the above-mentioned crucial values can or cannot be fully utilized by China at present. Back then, we did our best to help Vietnam fight against the American invaders, successfully liberated Vietnam, and drove away the American invaders. You must know that China was not very rich at that time. , but he still tried his best to help him fight against the United States, but he didn't expect him to turn his guns and turn against China in the end. Although it is an era of peace now, we must not forget what the Vietnamese government did at that time.
In the near future, I hope to solve all the islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands together with Vietnam. The ultimate solution is to liberate all the Chinese islands and reefs occupied by Vietnam! I can't let this white-eyed wolf wantonly occupy an inch of my territory.
