China Economic Network April 29 (Wang) Kyodo news agency reported that the Japanese government integrated Marine Policy headquarters of the "seabed resources and energy to ensure the strategy" of 25th surfaced.  According to the strategy, Japan will formally investigate the "seafloor hot water deposit" containing many rare metals and strive to realize the industrialization of rare metals with 2020 years as the "Sino-Japanese middle line" dividing the Chinese Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to the Ryukyu Retto Sea area, Izu-hanto to Ogasawara-gunto Pacific Ocean. The move is aimed at maximizing the use of the world's 6th largest exclusive economic zone, opening the way to the "Great Ocean resource". With the rapid development of China and other emerging market economies, the world's competition for rare metals and other resources is intensifying.  For Japan, a small resource country, ensuring stable access to resources has become a priority.  Since 2008, the Government of Japan has embarked on a survey on the development of seafloor hot water deposits, with the aim of establishing the technology necessary for commercialization and the completion of economic assessments by 2019. Japan's development of marine resources, especially in the East China Sea, is facing enormous challenges because China and South Korea do not recognise Japan's unilateral exclusive economic zone, Kyodo news agency said.  If you are exposed to foreign relations, the concept of industrial development of seabed resources in Japan by 2020 may not be achieved. In addition, the east side of China-Japan middle line is also sensitive sea.  China did not originally recognize the middle line as the demarcation line between the two countries ' exclusive economic zones and advocated an interest in the entire continental shelf extending to the Okinawa. In the Sea of Japan, South Korea currently controls the actual Takeshima (South Korea: Takeshima), advocating the island as the basis for the delineation of EEZ. There has been no progress in the dialogue between Japan and South Korea on the demarcation of the EEZ, and it is virtually impossible for the Japanese side to explore resources near the island.
