Territorial claims in the Spratly and Paracel Islands

Country Claim

Brunei Does not occupy any of the islands, but claims part of the South China Seas nearest to it as part of its continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The boundary lines are drawn perpendicularly from 2 outermost points on the Brunei coastline. In 1984, Brunei declared an EEZ that includes Louisa Reef.

China Refers to the Spratly Islands as the Nansha islands, and claims all of the islands and most of the South China Sea for historical reasons. These claims are not marked by coordinates or otherwise clearly defined. China also claims the Paracel Islands (referred to as the Xisha Islands), and includes them as part of its Hainan Island province.

Chinese claims are based on a number of historical events, including the naval expeditions to the Spratly Islands by the Han Dynasty in 110 AD and the Ming Dynasty from 1403-1433 AD. Chinese fishermen and merchants have worked the region over time, and China is using archaeological evidence to bolster its claims of sovereignty.

In the 19th and early 20th century, China asserted claims to the Spratly and Paracel islands. During World War II, the islands were claimed by the Japanese. In 1947, China produced a map with 9 undefined dotted lines, and claimed all of the islands within those lines. A 1992 Chinese law restated its claims in the region.

China has occupied 8 of those islands to enforce its claims. In 1974, China seized the Paracel Islands from Vietnam.

Indonesia Not a claimant to any of the Spratly Islands. However, Chinese and Taiwanese claims in the South China Sea may extend into Indonesia's EEZ and continental shelf, including Indonesia's Natuna gas field.

Malaysia Its Spratly claims are based upon the continental shelf principle, and have clearly defined coordinates. Malaysia has occupied 3 islands that it considers to be within its continental shelf. Malaysia has tried to build up one atoll by bringing soil from the mainland and has built a hotel.

Philippines Its Spratly claims have clearly defined coordinates, based both upon the proximity principle as well as on the explorations of a Philippine explorer in 1956. In 1971, the Philippines officially claimed 8 islands that it refers to as the Kalayaan, partly on the basis of this exploration, arguing that the islands: 1) were not part of the Spratly Islands; and 2) had not belonged to anyone and were open to being claimed. In 1972, they were designated as part of Palawan Province, and have been occupied.

Taiwan Taiwan's claims are similar to those of China, and are based upon the same principles. As with China, Taiwan's claims are also not clearly defined. Occupies Pratas Island in the Spratlys.

Vietnam Vietnamese claims are based on history and the continental shelf principle. Vietnam claims the entire Spratly Islands (Truong Sa in Vietnamese) as an offshore district of the province of Khanh Hoa. Vietnamese claims also cover an extensive area of the South China Sea, although they are not clearly defined. In addition, Vietnam claims the Paracel Islands (the Hoang Sa in Vietnamese), although they were seized by the Chinese in 1974.

The Vietnamese have followed the Chinese example of using archaeological evidence to bolster sovereignty claims. In the 1930's, France claimed the Spratly and Paracel Islands on behalf of its then-colony Vietnam. Vietnam has since occupied 20 of the Spratly Islands to enforce its claims.

EEZ = Exclusive Economic Zone

西西能有仙人兄这样高产的内行人士，真是我们广大河民之福啊！

“China has occupied 8 of those islands to enforce its claims. In 1974, China seized the Paracel Islands from Vietnam. ”

抗美援越也不是没拿好处，从南越手上拿下西沙群岛，当然不会还给北越。越南统一后肯定会对“中社会帝国主义不满”。

还真不知道这个南海的边界线是国民政府一个官员搞的，想必在东南亚邻居那里，也被称为什么罪恶的“麦克马洪线”之类吧。

好像现在越南控制最多，中国控制了一个最大的岛礁，台湾也有势力。对不对？去年写期末文章原来还想写一写南海争端，可惜知道地太少了。为什么仙人不早点出现呢？

南海的岛子我们到底占了多少？您说我们可能永远拿不到手了，就是说，即便我们将来海军空军牛起来也不能对那些岛屿实行有效控制？还是有别的原因呢？

西沙打仗的时候，我记得有一个纪录片，里面介绍好多在南海诸岛上发现的我们的明清甚至宋代的瓷器，以此作为我们老祖宗在那里生活的证据，这是真的吗？

以后军事强了还能抢回来？我看不现实。

至于考古证据我看比较没有意义

传一张南海现况图，也许可以加深印象

台湾驻军的太平岛是南沙诸岛中面积最大的

• 仙人的系列里，我们控制了6个还是7个岛礁。

谢支持，明天发上来下一节，您和后边的朋友的问题都解释了。

您可以把这个系列当笑话看，也可以把它当海洋法普及读物。我要说的，我们面临的问题，其实相当复杂微妙，我们也并不是总占理的。所以我想在后边写一篇“成也宣传，败也宣传”，但思前想后，不容易下笔。

这个，不站在胜利者这边都不行，你说日本都打进来了，俺们还想当它朋友？

姑枉送之。

〉〉活了几十岁，突然受到表扬，喜不自胜。不睡觉了，再来一篇。

老兄多注意身体，以后日子还长着呢！

中国社会之所以能有现在这个样子，小子我觉得更多的还是兄台这样默默无闻却辛勤耕耘的人们支撑起来的！

所以不管上面如何风云变幻，中国还是中国，这一点恐怕谁也改变不了.....

今后，随着国家走上正轨的步伐，老兄这样的社会栋梁们的作用也自然会越来越多地得到社会应有的重视和保护的。

老兄可能一辈子都不曾为自己辛勤的付出得到过应有的“褒奖”，这固然是社会结构上的缺陷，但并不等于老兄不该为自己的贡献而自豪、骄傲！过去的辛酸，让它再也别回来了。愿我们、还有我们的后代，能够渐渐认识到这样牺牲、付出对于国家的重要性，也才能有更多的人走上同样的路、一条真正的爱国之路。

中国当时的局面，如果一个坚持不住，蒋介石倒了，那就会是汪精卫代表中国，不就跑到失败者一边去了吗？呵呵

我无话可说了.
