Get real here people. Any one sided documents or maps are self serving and cannot sustain rigorous scrutinies, and also, others can produce the same 'convincing' proofs if they so desired. The ground reality is those barren rocks/shoal in the SCS belonged to no one historically because they were life unsubstantiated and no government would and could physical occupied them until recent years when technologies are more advanced. So any proofs of ownerships is useless and unrecognized by any laws.
If one takes a look at those 'islands' in a map, he'll realize they situate right in the middle of all the claimant countries, albeit closer to the Philippines and Malaysia. If we go back to history, how can we view them as anything else other than the converging grounds for the fishermen plying their trades here. There were no military significant for any country of the time and not even pirates can station here other then occasional hit and run.
I see winners take here . I also can see Vietnam is not doing too bad by grabbing 40 shoals without anybody realized although quite a few of them (16) are within Philippines' EEZ.
The enforcement actions sovereignty of Vietnam feudal state which does not mean that we must living on the two archipelagos.
Vietnamese feudal state formed a team called "Team Paracel boats" to manage and exploit on the two archipelagos, and enforcement actions sovereignty as sovereignty markers plug, plug flagpole .. . on the two archipelagos and archipelagos mapping.
First, the Chinese said loudly that it has sovereignty in 2000 years of history on the islands.
Then we have the evidences from both Vietnam and China to refute chinese claims, now the chinese turn to say that it is the deserted islands, no one has owned them.
You say you can "produce" evidence? I think with the ability to make fake of everything of Chinese, you can do, but remember that with the advanced technology of today, any fake evidence will be unmasked.
You cannot compare China with the Philippines and Malaysia.
The arrival of Chinese on both archipelagos by using of force to invade them from Vietnam in 1974 and 1988. The actions using of force to rob from others is not acceptable.
Dont try to equate the Chinese robbers with the Philippines and Malaysia. They are completely different from yours.
