China’s Bizarre Claims On The South China Sea.

[beijingwalker]

No it is not belongs to china.. it is a disputed territory.
States staking claims to various islands are- the People's Republic of China,Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Brunei

then maybe the only way to settle that is the way by which US UK France...used to get their islands.

Wrong interpretation. Spratly islands is not a nation or a coastal state and therefore its having an EEZ does not arise. And it lies outside China's EEZ. Period! (Check the map in my opening post).

Is India part of those claimants?why are you guys so worked up on this??

Please learn to read. Spratly Islands belong to China. We would claim up to 200 nautical miles EEZ from the territorial sea of each island in the Spratly group. Not more than that.

Pls , Learn the international rules before agruing with another nations.An don't forget your Qing dynasty did not claim those island belong to CHina/

Even when China is one side that claims sovereignty over the Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) islands, this U-shaped line has no ground. In fact, under the UNCLOS, small uninhabited islands like Paracel or Spratly Islands only have 12 nautical mile waters, not an exclusive economic zone”.

Worked up? First, China tries to bulldoze one of our Naval ships in Vietnamese waters and failed. Second, it warned India to stay out of the South China Sea when India and Vietnam signed an oil exploration deal in the area under the sovereign jurisdiction of Vietnam.

So why was China so worked up? Does it really believe that the whole South China Sea belongs to it? A state-run Chinese daily even termed India’s pact with Vietnam as a “reckless attempt to confront China”. Ms. Jiang, a foreign ministry spokesman stressed China enjoyed "indisputable sovereignty" over the South China Sea and its islands.

Just one word: Bu!!sh!t. Looks like the Chinese sense of humor has hit a new high!

Even after the ww2,they are still China's

Following the defeat of Japan at the end of World War II, China re-claimed the entirety of the Spratly Islands (including Itu Aba), accepting the Japanese surrender on the islands based on the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations. The ROC government withdrew from most of the Spratly and Paracel Islands after they retreated to Taiwan from the opposing Communist Party of China, which founded the People's Republic of China in 1949.[21] ROC quietly withdrew troops from Itu Aba in 1950, but reinstated them in 1956 in response to Tomas Cloma's sudden claim to the island as part of Freedomland.[23]

Japan renounced all claims to the islands in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty, together with the Paracels, Pratas & other islands captured from China, upon which China reasserted its claim to the islands.

and Vietnam first didnt raise any problem either

In 1958, the People's Republic of China issued a declaration defining its territorial waters, which encompassed the Spratly Islands. North Vietnam's prime minister, Pham Van Dong, sent a formal note to Zhou Enlai, stating that the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam respects the decision by China regarding the 12 nautical mile limit of territorial waters.[24]

Taiping Island is inhabited. It is the only Spratly Island with fresh water. It was occupied by Republic of China after WW2 and continues to be occupied today. Even if all the other "islands" are actually reefs without an EEZ, Taiping Island has an EEZ.

Are you Vietnamese even aware that the 9 sectioned line does not mean China claims all resources in the line? It means China claims all islands in the line. Our EEZ / territorial waters extend outwards from our islands / reefs.

No, it's only North VN , bcz South VN controled those islands that time , so North VN did not need to say any thing. just like if CHina claim Seoul belong to CHina , so only S.Korea need to say some thing, no need N.Korea statement.

LOL..... you can't even read English. China owned Spratly Islands since ancient times. We patrol our South China Sea and if any nation tries to drill in our EEZ, we'll teach them a lesson!

India will get its lesson very soon. We'll attack along the land border and sever the seven sisters!

And we have clear envident that Qing dynasty recognized those islands belong to VN, that why you dare not sue us to international course.

Qing dynasty did not draw those island on CHina map too.

When VN draw it clearly in 1834.

No other country has issues with Andaman being part of India. Same can't be said about spratly's and paracels.

 

[The enlightened]

whether spratly islands are a part of china or not
it cannot claim the south china sea as a part of its eez or say that it enjoys

"indisputable sovereignty"

When we get our oil from the South China Sea, and teach you Indians a lesson you won't forget in 50 years just like 1962.
