The Evolution,Root Causes and Responses of the International Community's Opposition to Deep-Sea Mining
As the deep-sea mining industry has entered a critical stage,the differences in positions on deep-sea mining have become prominent,forming different positions such as development promotion,environ-mental protection supremacy,development wait-and-see faction and development hegemony.After an initial and proliferating phase,the opposition to deep-sea mining began to expand its influence in the International Seabed Authority.Due to the factors such as insufficient understanding of the ecological environment,diver-gence of self-interest,and geopolitical awareness,environmental protection supremacy has a negative atti-tude towards deep-sea development,calling for a preventive moratorium,suspension and/or ban on deep-sea mining,and obstructing the advancement of deep-sea development within the International Seabed Au-thority,affecting the orderly introduction of laws and regulations related to deep-sea resource exploitation,and intensifying the international seabed strategic game.The international community should enhance coop-eration and research in the field of deep-sea science,develop green mining technologies,enhance the ca-pacity of developing countries to participate in international seabed affairs,promote the negotiation of deep-sea mining regulations,and build partnerships for deep-sea mining,so as to maintain a peaceful,stable and benefit-sharing international seabed order.As a supporter of deep-sea mining,China should continue to improve its deep-sea development capabilities,enhance its influence in the International Seabed Authority,and become a leader and contributor to international seabed affairs.
