No nation will recognize an illegal occupation, who's presence is not recognized by international law. The WORLD is condemning China for serious POLITICAL and MILITARY provocations & threats in invading and illegally occupying those island that are internationally recognized by international law as owned by other countries. |

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/china-protests-us-over-sail-disputed-waters-095054302.html What China does not understand is that these sails were done in international waters. What China does not understand is that they (China) are squatters and made illegal structure. So basically, they have no rights to claim anything in the Southeast Asian Seas |

China's claim is partially based on "historical documents" dating from the Ming Dynasty (1400s) which say Chinese sailors have long laid claim and frequented the South China Sea. It's also partially based on the voyages of the treasure fleet of Ming Dynasty Admiral Zheng He who went to what is now present-day Singapore, the Indian Ocean and supposedly present-day Africa. The problem with this is that if they somehow secure this claim to the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea and push everyone out, what's to stop them from claiming other lands? The Malay peninsula and Singapore have significantly large populations of ethnic Chinese; what's to stop them from claiming those lands for historical reasons or the need "to protect ethnic Chinese"? Russia used the similar justification of protecting ethnic Russians in their annexations of Crimea and East Ukraine. Edited by MSantor, Oct 11 2017, 09:50 PM.
