South China Sea Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In 1958, the People's Republic of China (PRC) issued a declaration defining its territorial waters within what is known as the nine-dotted line which encompassed the Spratly Islands.

The Republic of China (ROC) named 132 of the South China Sea Islands in 1932 and 1935. In 1933, ROC government logged official protest to the French government after its occupation of Taiping Island.[5] After World War II, ROC government occupied the islands earlier controlled by the Japanese. In 1947, the Ministry of Interior renamed 149 of the islands. Later in November, the Secretary Department of Guangdong Government was authorized to publish the Map of the South China Sea Islands.

China was the first to discover, name, develop,conduct economic activities on and exercise jurisdiction of the Nansha Islands.
The earliest discovery by the Chinese people of the Nansha Islands can be traced back to as early as the Han Dynasty. Yang Fu of the East Han Dynasty (23-220 A.D.) made reference to the Nansha Islands in his book entitled Yiwu Zhi (Records of Rarities) , which reads: “Zhanghai qitou, shui qian er duo cishi”(“There are islets, sand cays, reefs and banks in the South China Sea, the water there is shallow and filled with magnetic rocks or stones”). Chinese people then called the South China Sea Zhanghai and all the islands, reefs, shoals and isles in the South China Sea, including the Nansha and Xisha Islands, Qitou.

In numerous history and geography books published in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Nansha and Xisha Islands were called Jiuruluo Islands, $hitang (literally meaning atolls surrounding a lagoon), Changsha (literally meaning long ranges of shoals), Qianli $hitang, Qianli Changsha, Wanli $hitang, and Wanli Changsha among others. Reference was made to the Nansha Islands in over one hundred categories of books published in the four dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing in the name of $hitang or Changsha.

The Issue of South China Sea

During World War II, Japan launched the war of aggression against China and occupied most of China’s territory, including the Nansha Islands. It was explicitly provided in the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation and other international documents that all the territories Japan had stolen from China should be restored to China, and naturally, they included the Nansha Islands. In December 1946, the then Chinese government sent senior officials to the Nansha Islands for their recovery. A take-over ceremony was held on the islands and a monument erected in commemoration of it, and the troops were sent over on garrison duty. In 1952 the Japanese Government officially stated that it renounced all its “right, title and claim to Taiwan, Penghu Islands as well as Nansha and Xisha islands”, thus formally returning the Nansha Islands to China. All countries are very clear about this part of historical background. As a matter of fact, the United States recognized China’s sovereignty over the Nansha Islands in a series of subsequent international conferences and international practice.

For quite a long period of time after WWII, there had been no such a thing as the so-called issue of the South China Sea. No country in the area surrounding the South China Sea had challenged China’s exercise of sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters. Prior to 1975, Vietnam had, in explicit terms, recognized China’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over the Nansha Islands. Before the 1970s, countries like the Philippines and Malaysia had never referred to their territories as including the Nansha Islands in any of their legal instruments or statements made by their leaders. In the Treaty of Peace signed in Paris in 1898 and the Treaty signed in Washington in 1900 between the United States and Spain, the scope of the Philippines’ territory was expressly laid down, which did not include the Nansha Islands. This was further confirmed in the Philippines Constitution of 1935and the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the Philippines and the United States in 1951. As for Malaysia, it was only in December 1978 that it first marked part of the Nansha Islands, reefs and waters into the territory of Malaysia in its published continental shelf maps.

China the First to Exercise Jurisdiction over the Nansha Islands

The Nansha Islands came under the jurisdiction of China from the Yuan Dynasty. Geography Book of the History of the Yuan Dynasty and Map of the Territory of the Yuan Dynasty with Illustration both includes the Nansha Islands within the domain of the Yuan Dynasty. The History of the Yuan Dynasty has accounts of the patrol and inspection activities by the navy on the Nansha Islands in the Yuan Dynasty.

The inscription on the Memorial Tablet of the Tomb to General Qian Shicai of the Hainan Garrison Command of the Ming Dynasty reads: “Guangdong is adjacent to the grand South China Sea, and the territories beyond the Sea all internally belong to the Ming State.” “General Qian led more than ten thousand soldiers and 50 huge ships to patrol tens of thousands of li on the South China Sea.” All these descriptions clearly testify to the ownership by China of the Nansha Islands in the Ming Dynasty. The Hainan Garrison Command of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for inspecting and patrolling as well as exercising jurisdiction over the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Government marked the Nansha Islands on the authoritative maps and exercised administrative jurisdiction over these islands. The Nansha Islands were marked as Chinese territory in many maps drawn in the Qing Dynasty such as A Map of Administrative Divisions of the Whole China of the 1724 Map of Provinces of the Qing Dynasty, A Map of Administrative Divisions of the Whole China of the 1755 Map of Provinces of the Imperial Qing Dynasty, the 1767 Map of Unified China of the Great Qing for Ten Thousand Years, the 1810 Topographical Map of Unified China of the Great Qing for Ten Thousand Years and the 1817 Map of Unified China of the Great Qing for Ten Thousand Years.

===============

There is no argument in Chinese ownership of SCS.
China has patient to wait and has many solutions to claim back SCS.
War is not Chinese first option, If Philippine and Vietnam insist to fight,
China will get it back quicker, much quicker than you thought.
without military solution, China is softly pushing Philippine and Vietnam out.
USA does not like it, but can not do anything just support them by mouth.
actually, USA wishes China to use military and burn Asia in wars.
China does things in its own way.
 
.
The Asian economies will only suffer if a war takes place. It's best for Vietnam and Philippine not to provoke a war with China, this is a friendly advice so take it.

Lies.
China don't have evident to approve hilarious claim. Islands belong to Vietnam from ancient time. Chinese called also Jiaozhi Sea in the past.

Idiot threats, kido. Viet and Phi have to protect their sovereignty.

It seems that your country is now really doing the moron thing. If firing at China fishing boats, killing Chinese fishermen are not called bullying, what should I call that???

It is called law enforcement. Somebody encroached into Philippine territory, we caught them, they resist arrest then we know what to do just like any self-respecting nation. I'm sure the ruthless Chinese will do horribly more if any Vietnamese or Philippine fishermen drift within 200 miles off their shore.

Yeah, their president plays all-nighter computer games, sleeps until afternoon, rarely holds a cabinet meeting and leads a playboy's lifestyle! Hopeless!

Care to share some links? Else, another BS from a 50 center.

You are just one of the Chinese brainwashed by your gov't to believe China owns SCS.
Can you name a single country that supports China's 9-dash claim??? NO, YOU CAN'T!!! Can you identify specific historical evidence backing Beijing's claims that it owns disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea??? NO, YOU CAN'T. Can you show any Chinese ancient territorial map that shows it owns the SCS??? NO, YOU CAN'T.

The Philippines has in fact the right, by virtue the EEZ conferred to them by UNCLOS. Not only the right, we have also the RESPONSIBILITY to safeguard the bio-marine life and the environment in these waters. Your China's claim that the Philippines is harassing Chinese fishing vessel is a TOTAL LIE. We are just enforcing our laws because those Chinese fishing vessel is violating our territory and law.

that the chinese is brainwashed by their governemnt is still better than by the filipino. because they are chinese not the filipino. based on what right, you can tell other people "YOU CAN'T"? it shows the filipino is showing is its dictatorial nature by impose what people can and can't do. f*ck the filipino!
UNCLOS? why dont you ask your master countries like UK, USA, France, and Japanese dogs to obligate that law? unless your master countries tell you that they are wrong and lie, then china does. the UNCLOS cannot be applied on any thing claimed and declared before1982. what the stupid and stubborn filipino? you have been brainwashed by philippine goverment, that makes you so stupid here! you, f*ck you, stop talking crap here!

lies or fact require reliable sources to prove, not with a big mouth like you, idiot.
I posted with Wikipedia and number of websites what they documented,
not just claim with a mouth.

some in near history after WW2 are facts, dont need to prove.
before Philippine is a country, it was USA colony, US agreed with China that SCS was part of China, not PH. In WW2, Japan occupied SCS, Japan handed over SCS to China under UN. those are fact, has documented, dont need to prove.

Look at the size of 4 aircraft are flying, it isn't met to the rational size of Varyag in looking.

Oh really? I thought it was a latest photo of the carrier Varyag, a powerful symbol of China.
It's big and powerful, but copying and fake. What a pity!

haha,that's a photoshopped pic which I didnt post,only after an Ausie guy claimed that some pics were photoshopped and later on admitted that he was wrong,I posted this one to show him what is to be photoshopped,do you poor educated Vietnamese can't follow the thread?

go back to the second page and try hard to figure where it is coming from,your slow Vietnamese minds,haha

http://www.defence.pk/forums/chinese-defence/190951-china-starts-combat-ready-patrols-disputed-seas-2.html

How I know them are not fake like the photo above?
 
. .
My Chinese brothers have shown you so many evidences, but you, Viet and phi, just ignore them. So I have to tell you a word: power is everything. If you have the power, you get everything you want; if you don't, go home and get everything you want in your dream. America has proven that is a truth existing in this planet. Protecting those islands that you want to steal from China is much more practical in your dream. Now we have got Huangyan island back, can you guess which one is the next?
 
.
The pity truth is you, viet and phi, don't even have enough knowledge to "copy". If you have, why not build your CV or CVN in SCS. ours is in sea trial, where is yours. Ah! I know where they are. In your dream!
 
.
Copying is not bad at all. it is still much better than begging and inability to copy like vietnam.

Friend, I only commented on the photo of the carrier Varyag.....
I don't think the copying is not bad, for example in this case, copying and fake pictures made ​​people misunderstand....

Copying and faking is banned in Vietnam, you will be going to jail if detected you copied goods.
