130. On issues concerning territory and maritime delimitation, China does not accept any means of dispute settlement imposed on it, nor does it accept any recourse to third-party settlement. On 25 August 2006, China deposited, pursuant to Article 298 of UNCLOS, with the Secretary-General of the United Nations a declaration, stating that, “The Government of the People’s Republic of China does not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention with respect to all the categories of disputes referred to in paragraph 1 (a), (b) and (c) of Article 298 of the Convention”. This explicitly excludes from UNCLOS compulsory dispute settlement procedures disputes concerning maritime delimitation, historic bays or titles, military and law enforcement activities, and disputes in respect of which the Security Council of the United Nations is exercising the functions assigned to it by the Charter of the United Nations.

131. 中华人民共和国成立以来，已与14个陆地邻国中的12个国家，本着平等协商、相互谅解的精神，通过双边谈判，签订了边界条约，划定和勘定的边界约占中国陆地边界长度的90%。中国与越南已通过谈判划定了两国在北部湾的领海、专属经济区和大陆架界限。中国对通过谈判解决争议的诚意和不懈努力是有目共睹的。不言而喻，谈判是国家意志的直接体现。谈判当事方直接参与形成最终结果。实践表明，谈判取得的成果更容易获得当事国人民的理解和支持，能够得到有效实施，并具有持久生命力。只有当事方通过平等谈判达成协议，有关争议才能获得根本长久解决，有关协议才能得到全面有效贯彻实施。
