南中国海争端与中菲关系

中国在南中国海的主权受到一些国家的挑战，菲律宾是其中之一。菲律宾最早对南中国海的岛礁提出领土要求可追溯到20世纪30年代。菲律宾在南中国海的活动分为三个阶段。20世纪70年代以前，菲律宾政府不断地对南沙岛礁提出领土要求，也支持其国民到南沙海域勘探，但未占领中国南沙岛礁；20世纪70年代，菲律宾占领了部分南沙岛礁；冷战结束后，由渔业纠纷而引发了美济礁和黄岩岛问题，影响较大。总的来看，南中国海争端一定程度上影响了两国关系，但不影响双边关系的大局。在可预见的将来，南中国海的局势将维持现状，双方会通过协商途径解决可能出现的纠纷和争执。

The Dispute of South China Sea and Sino-Philippines Relation

Philippines's earliest request over the territory of the islands and reefs of South China Sea can ascend to 1920s.Philippines's activities in South China Sea can be divided into 3 phases. Before 1970s, Philippines did not occupy any islands and reefs of China's Nansha Isles despite it constantly claimed territorial request over South China Sea isles and supported its people to prove up. During 1970s, Philippines occupied some Nansha isles. After cold war, fishing dispute led to Meiji Reef and Huangyan Reef Question which influenced greatly. Generally speaking, the dispute over South China Sea affected the relation of the two countries to certain degree, but never changed the general situation. In the predictable future, the present situation will retain and the possible dispute and dissension will be solved through consult.
