After the great victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in accordance with the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, from November to December 1946, China dispatched four warships, Taiping, Yongxing, Zhongjian and Zhongye, under the command of Capt. Lin Zun, with government representatives and specialists on board, recovered the Xisha and Nansha Islands, which had been invaded by Japanese militarists, and held a solemn ceremony to proclaim that China resumed sovereignty over the Xisha and Nansha Islands. This event of great historical significance was witnessed by the whole world and remembered by the Chinese people forever. Here, on behalf of all the officers and sailors of the PLA Navy, I would like to pay high tribute to our nation’s forerunners who have made great historical contributions to the recovery of the Xisha and Nansha Islands, express our heartfelt gratitude to friends at home and overseas who always respect the claims of the Chinese government and concentrate their efforts on the peaceful development in the South China Sea, and extend our warm welcome to all the guests attending the commemoration.
收复西南沙群岛是中国对固有领土的有效规复。西南沙群岛自古以来就是中国领土。早在公元前2世纪的汉代,中国人民就凭借先进的造船和航海技术在南海航行,发现并命名了西沙、南沙群岛。公元4-8世纪的隋唐时期,中国人民在西南沙群岛捕鱼采贝,大量历史古籍详细记载了南海岛礁的地貌特征,生动描述了他们的生产生活,考古也发现了他们的居住遗址和生活用具。1000多年前的宋代,中国就对西南沙群岛设吏管辖,派遣水师巡视南海。600多年前的明代,中国将西南沙群岛划归广东省琼州府管辖,海南渔民世代相传的《更路簿》,记录了他们在西南沙群岛盖房建庙、挖井汲水、垦荒种植、耕海牧渔。1868年英国海军部出版的《中国海指南》,也细致描述了中国海南渔民在南沙群岛的生产生活情况。直至清末的1909年,广东水师提督李准还率舰巡海登岛。历史表明,中国开发利用和管辖西南沙群岛的脉络清晰、铁证如山,主权归属无可争辩、毋庸置疑。
