Doğu Çin Denizi ihtilafı dünyanın en önemli ve stratejik deniz ulaşım yollarından biri üzerinde dünyanın en büyük ikinci ve üçüncü ekonomisi olan Çin ve Japonya’nın doğrudan üzerinde egemenlik iddiasında bulunduğu Senkaku/Diaoyu Adaları’nı içermektedir. Dünyanın en büyük ekonomisi ve süper gücü olan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri de soruna, Asya’daki en önemli müttefiki Japonya ile olan güvenlik anlaşması nedeniyle dolaylı olarak müdahildir. Doğu Çin Denizi Çin ve Japonya arasında uzun zamandır ciddi bir ihtilaf konusu olarak durmaktadır. Bölgeyi taraflar için önemli kılan Doğu Çin Denizi’nin sahip olduğu petrol ve doğal gaz gibi hidrokarbon rezervleri ile balık çeşitliliği gibi enerji kaynakları dışındaki potansiyelidir. Fakat bölgeyi taraflar açısından esas önemli kılan nokta her iki ülkenin de dış ticaretinin devamı ve ekonomik kalkınmasının sürdürülmesi için deniz iletişim yollarına bağlı olmasıdır. Dolayısıyla Doğu Çin Denizi hem Çin’in hem de Japonya’nın güvenlik hesaplamalarında çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu makale Doğu Çin Denizi ihtilafına yönelik sorunun tarihsel ve sınır iddialarını ele almanın ötesinde, soruna taraf olan ülkeler için konunun önemini ve tarafların son yıllarda iddialarını güçlendirmek ve pozisyonunu sağlamlaştırmak için ne tür adımlar attıklarının bir değerlendirmesini sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Öz

The East China Sea conflict includes the Senkaku/Daiaoyu Islands, on one of the world’s most important and strategic maritime transport routes, over which China and Japan the world’s second and third largest economies, directly claim sovereignty. The United States of America, the world’s largest economy and superpower, is also indirectly involved in the problem due to its security agreement with Japan, its most significant ally in Asia. the East China Sea has long been a matter of serious conflict between China and Japan. What makes the region crucial for the parties is the hydrocarbon reserves of the East China Sea, such as oil and natural gas, and its potential other than energy resources such as fish diversity. However, the point that makes the region important for the parties is that both countries depend on maritime communication routes for the continuation of their foreign trade and economic development. Therefore, the East China Sea plays a very important role in the security calculations of both China and Japan. Beyond addressing the historical and border claims of the East China Sea conflict, this article aims to present an assessment of the importance of the issue for the parties to the issue and what have taken in recent years to strengthen their claims and consolidate their position.
