It is pointed out that the possibility of peaceful coexistence in East Asia in the 21st century is likely to be determined in the ocean. There is even a prediction that if a war breaks out, it will be due to a maritime dispute. Therefore, the Chinese academic community tries to secure its historical basis in order to gain an advantage in international maritime disputes. One of the hallmarks of Chinese academia is the study of maritime boundary to achieve this patriotic national goal. In general, the causes of the Northeast Asian Sea Crisis are explained by various factors such as the historical background between China and neighboring countries, the vigilance of neighboring countries due to the rise of China, and the clashes caused by the US rebalancing strategy in Asia and the Pacific. Although China is still the main objective of maritime traffic protection, it will try to broaden the scope of activities to secure marine energy and develop marine resources in the future, and this will soon increase the possibility of disputes in the marine environment. Therefore, it is very likely that the maritime boundary research to secure advantageous position on the maritime territorial dispute will increase explosively in the future. The historical narrative of the maritime boundary conflict in the East China Sea and the South China Sea shows a typical teleological view of history. Therefore, it seems difficult to resolve the current maritime territorial dispute without a fundamental shift in the historical perception. Perhaps the maritime boundary conflict is a controversial issue that has brought about the change of history into the modern frontiers of the nation-state, and this may be an anachronistic recognition of the idea of the border, the product of the modern nation-state.
