由于海岸线曲折复杂、岛屿较多,东北亚国家相互之间基本都存在岛屿归属、海域划界等有关海洋领土和海洋资源的争端。在经济形势良好、贸易发展迅速的情况下,各国为了照顾经济发展的大局,有可能暂时搁置或淡化这些争端。然而,这些争端如同不定时的炸弹,随时可能因为一次突发事件而引爆,给国家间关系和地区局势造成重大影响。 Due to the complicated twists and turns of the coastline and the large number of islands, the disputes over the maritime territory and marine resources such as the ownership of islands and demarcation of sea areas between the countries in Northeast Asia basically exist among themselves. In a situation of sound economy and rapid trade growth, all countries may temporarily shelve or dilute these disputes in order to take care of the overall economic development. However, these disputes, like occasional bombs, can be detonated at any time due to an emergency and have a significant impact on the relations among nations and the regional situation.
