[@zhangmaverick]

It is on the demonize level to discuss that if China will become the dominant power in Asia because it is a Pseudo-proposition. China has made a continued policy to treat other countries in a civilized manner. Most Chinese are disinterested in the debate about a new shifting of world power or power competition in the traditional sense which applied to the context of game theory. The ignorance makes people ignored the international law and blind to see the historical evidence of China's sovereignty over the South China Sea according to the 1943 Potsdam Proclamation and Cairo Declaration. China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Island and adjacent waters, backed by historical and legal evidence. The construction of China's own territory is not against international law. Philippines' arbitration request is not meant to resolve disputes, but to negate China's right. The most important thing for international law is who defines the international law. and about the South China Sea, you cannot find the sovereignty from the map related to the Philippines and its history or other countries. According to its proponents, China’s claim stood relatively undisputed until the 1930s. From this time onwards, Western colonial forces and an increasingly assertive Imperial Japan recognized and sought to utilize the strategic value of the Nansha Islands (Spratlys) in particular. In 1939, Japan occupied parts of the archipelago in an attempt to control Southeast Asia and prepare for an invasion of Australia. Upon Japan’s defeat in 1945, it was stripped of the area it had occupied in the South China Sea. Although post-war ownership of the islands remains disputed, both Mainland China and Taiwan have adopted the position that rather than creating a “void,” the areas have been restored to Chinese ownership. these declarations emphasize that areas once held by Japan in the South China Sea would no longer be part of that country’s post-war sovereign territory, and that territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China.” Ownership is deemed to have been implicitly accepted by Western powers (notably the United States) in their failure to object to repeated assertions by (initially) Taiwan over South China Sea sovereignty. As part of the Chinese claim, Taiwan has maintained a presence on Taiping Island (the largest island of the Nansha Islands Archipelago) since 1946. To Beijing’s understanding the status of the islands was seemingly acknowledged as Chinese territory through U.S. requests to the Taiwanese authorities for permission to perform aerial surveys in the region between 1957 and 1961., constitutes a territory that cannot be divided on an island-to-island basis. By recasting the case as one fundamentally challenging Chinese sovereignty over the Nansha Islands, China believes the case constitutes an infringement of Chinese territorial integrity. More than just an infringement of territory, “The UNCLOS did not provide rules for the issue of territorial sea baselines for continental countries’ archipelagos; nor did it provide rules for historic rights, although it affirmed their status in international law.” China believes the court has no jurisdiction to decide on the matter. As such, it rejects the case and will not accept or participate in the arbitration. As discussed in the Chinese government’s Position Paper, two reasons for rejection stand out. First, on August 25, 2006, China deposited, as permitted under Article 298 of UNCLOS, a statement that China will not accept compulsory dispute settlement procedures (including compulsory arbitration) concerning maritime delineation. Second, China rejects the court’s authority; Upon ratification of the UNCLOS on 7 June 1996, Declaration made after ratification (25 August 2006) and Declaration under article 298:The Government of the People's Republic of China does not accept any of the procedures provided for in Section 2 of Part XV of the Convention with respect to all the categories of disputes referred to in paragraph 1 (a) (b) and (c) of Article 298 of the Convention. The United States is not the signatory on The UNCLOS so that they should not make any comment on the issues unless they put the signature on the UNCLOS.

The South China sea was originally named the Champ Sea, which was named after the ancient kingdom in current central Vietnam. Vietnamese already continuously administrated both of 2 these islands since 17th century and no single country except VN claimed those at that time. Both of Paracel and Spratly were belong to Indochina/Annam colony of France, so after getting independence, Vietnam had full right to take these 2 islands back obviously. And South Vietnam did that and exercised legal control over these 2 islands until China came illegally in 1974 and 1988. And I want to make it clear that Vietnam does not claim entire SCS, we only claim our 200 nautical mile EEZ + our these 2 islands which lay outside of our EEZ( but as I said EEZ can't apply for islands). Even a lot of messy problems arising until now after Chinese came and some other countries claimed based on EEZ, hope Vietnam and other countries involving can avoid conflict as much as possible More detail about San Francisco Conference : The conference was joined by 51 countries around the world. This is the piece treaty of UN attempt to return all colonies to its initial country after WW2, and as a result, this treaty formed hundred of nowadays countries in the world. In the treaty Japan had to return all colonies back to original countries, which include Paracel and Spratly islands controlled by French. Both of China and Vietnam asserted their claim on Hoàng Sa( Paracel Islands ) and Trường Sa ( Spratly Islands ) but China's claim was rejected by 45 out of 51 countries whereas Tran Van Huu, Prime Minister of Bao Dai’s government of Vietnam stated that “in order to annul the seeds of possible disputes, we claim our sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos”. No objections were raised nor any reservations made against his statement at the conference. France, in the victory side, also asserted the sovereignty of both of Paracel and Spratly Islands are belong to Annam of Vietnamese because Japan took over them from France. Hoàng Sa and Trường Sa was belong to South Vietnam from 1956 to 1974 and the entire UN, except China nor Russia, recognized and didn't oppose to them. In 1974 China illegally fought and invaded Hoàng Sa ( Paracel Islands) and fought Trường Sa (Spratly Islands) in 1988, but it could only occupy small part of Spratly Islands.

You have to research in the library before speeching on CCP's claim on the South China Sea. The dash line was initially posted by Kuomintang of ROC after the WW2, which was called 11 dash line at that time. All the countries around South China Sea did not object this claim and this China's territory was printed in maps of all the counties, including USA, Canada, Vietnam. When was 11 dash line was replaced by 9 dash line? Vietnam war. When US was involved in Vietnam war again the Vietnam communist party in the north, CCP decided to help Vietnam and borrowed an island to Vietnam for establishing the radar base at the northwest of South China Sea. So, two dashes were deleted in this area. Actually, Vietnam did not give that island back to China after the war. So, you have ask Taiwan for the reason why there is a line in South Chian Sea. Another important issue I need to mention is the islands in South China Sea were discovered before Christ by the Chinese. Ancient Chinese fishermen were used for rest and supply, which recorded even in history 2000 years ago. At that time, only a few primitive tribes existed on the land around South China Sea.

ASEAN nations need to find a solution for their overlap claims first, before confronting the Chinese claim.

There is no claim from China it is illegal.

Take a page from history, the biggest wars are started in small countries, WW1 started in serbia, WW2 started in Poland. Where strong powers go on a tug of war with small nations, war happens.

The South China sea was originally named the Champ Sea, which was named after the ancient kingdom in current central Vietnam. Vietnamese already continuously administrated both of 2 these islands since 17th century and no single country except VN claimed those at that time. Both of Paracel and Spratly were belong to Indochina/Annam colony of France, so after getting independence, Vietnam had full right to take these 2 islands back obviously. And South Vietnam did that and exercised legal control over these 2 islands until China came illegally in 1974 and 1988. And I want to make it clear that Vietnam does not claim entire SCS, we only claim our 200 nautical mile EEZ + our these 2 islands which lay outside of our EEZ( but as I said EEZ can't apply for islands). Even a lot of messy problems arising until now after Chinese came and some other countries claimed based on EEZ, hope Vietnam and other countries involving can avoid conflict as much as possible More detail about San Francisco Conference : The conference was joined by 51 countries around the world. This is the piece treaty of UN attempt to return all colonies to its initial country after WW2, and as a result, this treaty formed hundred of nowadays countries in the world. In the treaty Japan had to return all colonies back to original countries, which include Paracel and Spratly islands controlled by French. Both of China and Vietnam asserted their claim on Hoàng Sa( Paracel Islands ) and Trường Sa ( Spratly Islands ) but China's claim was rejected by 45 out of 51 countries whereas Tran Van Huu, Prime Minister of Bao Dai’s government of Vietnam stated that “in order to annul the seeds of possible disputes, we claim our sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos”. No objections were raised nor any reservations made against his statement at the conference. France, in the victory side, also asserted the sovereignty of both of Paracel and Spratly Islands are belong to Annam of Vietnamese because Japan took over them from France. Hoàng Sa and Trường Sa was belong to South Vietnam from 1956 to 1974 and the entire UN, except China nor Russia, recognized and didn't oppose to them. In 1974 China illegally fought and invaded Hoàng Sa ( Paracel Islands) and fought Trường Sa (Spratly Islands) in 1988, but it could only occupy small part of Spratly Islands.

​@台湾蛙🐸来对线 Why some Chinese are still obsessed too much with historical events. Qing Dynasty already collapsed. If you want to talk about the history, you should belong to Mongolian because you was a part of that. If you claim that South China Sea, why you signed UNCLOS in December 1982. Can you explain why?

UNCLOS, “United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea”, defines the rights and responsibilities of nations in their use of the world's oceans; it establishes guidelines for businesses, the environment, and the management of marine natural resources.

PS: The Permanent Court of Arbitration is an official United Nations Observer. Thus, they work closely to UN. If you don't acknowledge it, you also don't acknowledge the UN. Btw, don't forget the UNCLOS.

A territory that belongs to which state is not determined by the distance to its mainland, like Hawaii to the US.

[@jensensean7118]

In the view of the Chinese, all countries around thge southe china sea were foreign colonies occupied by USA, JAPAN, France, UK therefore not sovereign nations inthe 1st place, and they never laid claim to these islands before the 1970s. While China always claimed them and occupies some of them. China's loop of claim was earlier than UNCLOS. So it is vietnam and Philippines trying to seize Chinese islands from Chinese perspective. US has got nothing to do with SCS. USA is vicious trouble maker.

This downplays the real situation that is developing in the region, the amount of money behind this area of water is unparalleled to any water of similar size. It’s scary how careless the general population is over this whole situation. Water will be the cause of the next wars. As China chokes the Mekong and half of those country’s are put under the boot of China, war will be too late. China in all aspects is trying to expand and will achieve it because the government operates if someone is starving their country of water
