And China's claims to such on uninhabited islands and reefs is especially weak, not having been a seapower for some five hundred years and lacking archaeological or historical accounts of habiting or claiming such islands and atolls. Trying to establish them now, by force and occupation, infringes upon the archipelagic sovereign rights (Article IV) of the Philippines and Malaysia and maybe Japan - rights that China cannot claim, not being an archipelagic State.

China is the first claimant to the region in the modern era when nation like Philippine and Vietnam were still colonies of the west. Especially compare to Philippine whose border is well defined under the Paris Treaty between Spain and the US that excludes it from any of the islands in the South China Sea, Chinese claim are much stronger.
Beyond that, there is the Japanese occupation, which by Treaty of Taipei with ROC it has relinquished all control over the islands in SCS. And further back, the Chinese-Vietnamese Boundary convention in 1887 signed with the French also confirmed Qing's ownership of the Spratly and Paracel islands.
