I wonder how Mr. freedom Fighter arrived to this analogy when China itself has'nt even declared it to be their territory as a matter of fact, Philippine contingent is there to maintain our assertion of rights to the island. |

You are right. I can see a clue on the mode of his reply to posts. We are on his tail anyway. I know who he might be. However, we still give him the benefit of the doubt. We will pull the plug as soon as what comes to light during our observation. By his comment on China's rights over the Spratleys is utterly unpatriotic except if he was a Chinese himself and I am more than happy to go with him if he will be able to support it with documented proof, otherwise, it was just a childish comment to annoy us and our compatriots in this forum that would ultimately justify him to be just an attention seeker. |

Just got through reading this... China has submitted a map to the UN claiming all of the Spratleys. This was submited 7 MAy 2009. Here's the link and the map. http://www.un.org/Depts/los/clcs_new/submi...e_mys_vnm_e.pdf |

Very STUPID MAP and this means that there are no longer International Waters which all passes thru since its all CONTROLLED by PROC.... This move by PROC is clearly an International Harassment towards its Southeast Asian Neighbors by asserting its Political & Military Influence. As member of UN, we should strictly enforced UN Accepted Law on Territorial Claim ....UNCLOS 200 mile EEZ. |

There's nothing to be concerned of. It's only a map created by the Chinese that is a part of their saber rattling move to boost their campaign of claiming the island with no cognizance from any international judicial body or the UN. It's the same old story -bullying. |

I refer to occupation as a mode of acquiring territorial res nullius in international law. The Chinese, an ancient civilization going back to the Yangtze settlements, already had many of its people on the islands amny, many, many, many years ago. |

If we have to compare it with our Sabbah claim where the island now is under the territorial jurisdiction of Malaysia, it is quite clear that many years back the island was ruled by the a princess who was a close relative of the ruler of the sultanate of Sulu. This clearly manifested that it was a part of our territory on the basis that Sabbah was ruled by a Filipino muslim sultanate, but this was not recognized and supported by the international forum and the UN despite that history. The claim was scuttled because Malaysia held it's grip. China's presence in the Spratleys could have been ages ago before the Philippine contingency started it's presence in the islands until now. Where were the Chinese then ? If the Chinese claim were to be honored, a huge chunk of Philippine territory will be involved. |

I understand your patriotism but it may be the fatal thick layer of bias that will cover your eyes from the proper understanding of international events in the light of public international law. |
