PRC Beijing today claims 9dashline, controls Paracels islands, Scarborough in Macclesfield, and some islands in Spratly now,
ROC Taiwan today claims 11dashline, controls Pratas Island, Itu Aba and Ban Than Reef in Spratly islands now,
Legitimately South China Sea dispute should be dispute between People's Republic Of China and Republic Of China,
ROC claimed all islands in 11dashline as Chinese traditional fishing ground since Ming Empire's Zhenghe Expeditions,
West and Soviet supported ROC claim after WWII, because China was ally for both West and Soviet in 1945,
USA even gave 4 warships like Destroyer USS Decker (DE-47) to Chinese took over like Itu Aba and Thitu island in 1946,
American Philippines and French Vietnam didn't oppose as colonies, then it's too late for them to oppose later on,
PRC Beijing inherited 11dashline claim after kicked ROC to Taiwan in Chinese Civil War 1949,
PRC Beijing changed to 9dashline claim after giving Bach Long Vi island to North Vientam against USA in 1957,
Phillipines stole Thitu island from ROC Taiwan when Taiwan navy withdraw to Itu Aba to avoid typhoons in 1971,
ROC Taiwan didn't take back Thitu island due to pressure from Taiwan KMT's big brother USA,
Ironically Vietcong supported Beijing publicly then, after Sino-Soviet Split and Sino-Vietnamese Split,
Vietcong claimed same like South Vietnam claimed, Paracels and Spratly islands after unified South Vietnam,
PRC navy won Johnson South Reef Skirmish 1988 against Vietcong navy in Sino-Vietnamese conflicts,
But Soviet navy didn't help his little brother Vietnam when PRC navy was weak,
Then it's Vietcong built artificial islands first, China then also built artificial islands but larger and faster,
US regarded China as next biggest competitor, then US sent more warships near to Chinese coastal line,
China regarded that US tried to cut off China's lifeline once Sino-USA war broke out,
China then arm and build more artificial islands until 2016 Sino-US naval standoff,
Cuban Missile crisis momment,
Then Philippines Singapore and Vietnam saw US as weak, then they all turned to soft with China afterwards,
Today PRC navy is more advanced and stronger, PRC can just take back all islands within 9dashline,
But PRC didn't want to destory relation with ASEAN, Declaration on the Conduct means mutual respect and peaceful solution,
It actually depends on how Philippines Vietnam dealt with China, if they think they can use strong USA against weak China,
China will just build and arm more artificial islands, the more you see US navy in South China Sea,
the more Great Wall of Sand China will build.
