I am telling you facts here:China controls the Spratlys and the rest of the South China Sea. See the two video citations below from "Russia Today." Surely, your eyes can see the proof. No amount of text from you Viets can change the truth. The PLA Navy is the master of the Spratlys and the South China Sea.
----------
Two critical facts
1. The islands and seas within China's nine-dashed-lines map were discovered and claimed by China 2,000 years ago. China was the first discoverer and claimant of the South China Seas.
You can read about China's historical claims to the South China Seas over the last 2,000 years in the Chinese imperial dynastic records. There are also plenty of Chinese shipwrecks, buried bones, and buried artifacts (including wells) within the nine-dashed-lines map. China was there first and it belongs to them.
2. Among the South China Sea claimants, only one of the countries has a real navy (see videos below).
Combining points #1 (e.g. only China is the legitimate owner) and #2 (e.g. only China has the naval power to back its claims), it is clear that only China can claim sovereignty over the South China Seas.

First, Vietnam doesn´t care of your lawless claim. We continue to exploit oil and gas within our EEZ waters, while China not anything in your so-called 9-dash-line. China navy does not control the SC sea. Your vessels sail through usually for 1 week or 2 and return home. Our navy and aircraft units patrol regulary the region.
Second, you are free to fire the first shot.
