"Your" islands?
So just tell me about the base of your buffalo's tongue claim
1) Your argument about "2000-year-old claim" is ridiculous, you said you "discovered" those islands, but in fact the "discovery" has nothing to do with sovereignty. Look at Colombo and his country, Spain.
2) We have a strong base of evidences to prove that we had sovereignty over those islands before 18th-19th century.

3) There are many many maps from your gov before 193x which also don't have Paracel and Spartly:

1 or 2 maps isn't a problem. But so many maps is a different story
4) Vietnam and Philippines have been asked you to go to international court, but you always avoid. Why? You know that you don't have evidence, so if you go there, you will loose. End of story
In conclusion, they have never be your islands, you just came and invaded them in 1956, 1974, 1988. So China is the thief, the robber, the bully.
