It shouldn’t be called South China Sea for one only fundamental reason, the sea is neither belonged to the PRC nor Taiwan. It should rather the East Sea of Vietnam rather than any other names, since it’s recorded that Vietnam’s sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel Archipelago) and Truong Sa (Spratly Archipelago) established at least since the 17th century. Accordingly, during their rule in Dang Trong (the South of Vietnam), the Nguyen Lords made great contributions to the nation’s historical development. They reclaimed virgin land in Thuan Quang region (the present-day provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue) and at the same time further expanded their territory southward, creating Sai Gon - Gia Dinh region and its vicinities. In addition, the Nguyen Lords started establishing trade ties with regional countries like Japan and China as well as with western nations, including the Netherlands and Portugal. Especially with their seaward vision, the Nguyen Lords made great efforts in managing, controlling and establishing sovereignty over Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagoes. The Nguyen Lords have handed down to posterity a strategic task of defending and maintaining the nation’s territorial waters in the East Sea, embracing Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes. According to official historical documents and folk documents collected in coastal central localities, the Nguyen Lords established their management of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes very early. Troops dispatched to patrol in Hoang Sa and Truong Sa regions had to get the Nguyen Lords’ permission before joining the marine patrol and control forces. China’s nine dash line (established only in 1940) to assert its illegitimate claim on the East Sea is disturbingly absurd. That is to say China’s aggressive action and constant obnoxious bullying in the region has proven itself to be nothing but a rough state who should be considered as bloodsucking devils.
Sir it should not be called as South China Sea but instead it should be called the West Philippine Sea because it is under the EEZ of the Philippines and the UN has acknowledge the philippine rights over said territory. I wish that many reports should be corrected too as such use of words may offend the Philippines.
Yikes... I'd hate to see a similar "overall assertiveness relative to 1970" chart for the U.S. government...
More appropriate than you might think as it is a graph of media mentions.
Sure hope Taiwan is not allowed to fall into Chinese hands.
