History

A possible reference to the rock exists in the the ancient Chinese book Shan Hai Jing, which mentions a "Su Rock" in the East China Sea. China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National Shan Hai Jing ( is a Chinese classic text that is at least 2000 years old The East China Sea is a Marginal sea east of China. It is a part of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of 1249000 km² However, it is unclear if this refers to Socotra Rock, since the book includes mythological material. Chinese mythology is a collection of Cultural history, Folktales, and Religions that have been passed down in oral or written form There is also no evidence that the island was ever inhabitated.

Both "Parangdo" and "Ieodo" are names for the mythical island residents of Jeju island believed to house the spirits of fishermen who perished at sea. Jeju-do ( transliterated Korean for Jeju Province, short form of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province) is the only special self-governing province The South Korean government has asserted a direct connection between these legends and the modern-day rock, claiming that the traditional saying that "one who sees Parangdo can never return" refers to the danger facing sailors when high waves allow the rock to break the surface. [4][2] Socotra Rock's Korean name was officially designated as "Ieodo" on January 26, 2001 by the Korea Institute of Geology. Events 1340 - King Edward III of England is declared King of France. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. [5]

Dispute

According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, a submerged reef can not be claimed as territory by any country. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ( UNCLOS) also called the Law of the Sea Convention or the Law of the Sea treaty is the international agreement that resulted However, China and South Korea dispute which is entitled to claim it as part of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). If the rock lies within the Chinese EEZ, then South Korea's construction activities there would have been in breach of Article 60 of the Convention on the Law of the Sea. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ( UNCLOS) also called the Law of the Sea Convention or the Law of the Sea treaty is the international agreement that resulted

In September 2006, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters that China objects to South Korea's "unilateral" activities in the region, referring to Korean government-built observation facilities on this reef island, which the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman has claimed to be "illegal". It was reported in Korea that "Spokesman Qin Gang mentioned that the two countries never had a territorial dispute over the island. " [3] On the other hand, Chinese reports notes tha Qin Gang said the two countries never had a "territorial dispute," not mentioning any islands. [9]


Some point out that Marado is the southernmost island of Korea, since there is a stele carved "the southernmost of Korea". Mara-do is a tiny treeless island 11 km off the south coast of Jeju, in southernmost South Korea, having an area of 0 It is also a slogan for local travel attraction. Socotra Rock's location is further south (32°07′22. 63″N, 125°10′56. 81″E) than Marado.
