@MrLee-qz3gy I am from Taiwan. In case you didn't know, Taiwan also claim the Taiping Island in the South China Sea due to historical context.
The ROC claims that Chinese people have used the South China Sea islands, including Taiping Island, since ancient times. Historical records, such as Zhao Rugua’s Zhu Fan Zhi (1225) from the Song dynasty and Ming dynasty documents like the Records of Qiongzhou, reference Chinese maritime activities in the region, suggesting early economic and navigational use of the Spratly Islands, including Taiping. Tombstones from the Qing dynasty on Taiping Island are cited as evidence of historical Chinese habitation and economic activity.
In November 1946, amid the Chinese Civil War, the ROC government sent a naval expedition to the South China Sea to assert sovereignty over the Spratly and Paracel Islands. Four warships—ROCS Tai-ping, Chung-Yeh, Yung-hsing, and Chung-chien—commanded by Lin Zun and Yao Ruyu, were dispatched. The ROC formally reclaimed Taiping Island, naming it after the warship Tai-ping ("Very Peaceful Island"). Troops were stationed there, and national markers were erected. By February 1947, the ROC published the Location Map of the South China Sea Islands, solidifying its claim.
There is also an ongoing claim dispute with this island between the Phillipines and Vietnam.
It's interesting what the media allows us to know.
