What is the Taiwan Province Strait?
12 nautical mile near the mainland belongs to the inland sea of China, and 12 nautical mile near Taiwan Province Province also belongs to the inland sea of China, and the middle part belongs to the high seas, but this sea area is the economic zone of China and has absolute dominance. China has two inland seas, one is the Bohai Sea and the other is the Qiongzhou Strait. The two straits are not free to sail.
Judging whether the Taiwan Province Strait belongs to the "strait used for international navigation" mainly depends on its factual characteristics, that is, whether the two ends are connected to the high seas and used for international navigation. Of these two features, the geographical features of the strait seem to be more important. As far as functional characteristics are concerned, it must actually be used for international navigation, even if the traffic volume is not large. Traffic volume is not the only criterion to judge the nature of the strait, but only one of the indicators that need to be considered at the same time.
Judging from the traffic situation of countries in the Taiwan Province Strait, although the Taiwan Province Strait is not clearly defined as an "international navigation strait" in law, it seems certain that quite a few countries have been exercising the corresponding right of transit.
