依据《联合国海洋法公约》关于专属经济水域(EEZ)的概念,“中国边海”可具体定义为从中国陆地沿岸自然延展的200海里以内的海域;若依据大陆架原则的专属经济水域概念,那么“中国边海”又可定义为中国大陆架及其延伸部分的海域。而从战略研究角度看,“中国边海”应置于“亚洲边海”的范围内来考察。 According to the concept of exclusive economic waters (EEZ) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, “China’s fringe” can be specifically defined as a sea area within 200 nautical miles of a natural extension along the coast of China’s land; if the concept of exclusive economic waters according to the continental shelf principle , Then “China’s border” can be defined as the sea area of ​​China’s continental shelf and its extension. From a strategic research point of view, “China’s border” should be examined in the context of “the Asian border.”
