  1. Again, the South China Sea dispute is wrongly described. 1. China claims SOVEREIGNTY over the SCS. That means it wants to treat the SCS just like an internal waterway. It wants to treat the SCS just like other countries treat their territorial waters out to 25 miles. 2. All the other countries claims are ONLY for their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) usage. EEZ rights are defined by the UN. EEZ rights go out to 200 miles. EEZ areas are still the high seas. Ships can traverse them at will. Cargo ships, private boats, and naval warships can traverse them at will. International laws apply, not the laws of the EEZ owning country. EEZ only refers to a country's ability to profit from that ocean area. That is why Russia can put its ships 26 miles off the coast of the US, and we cannot do a thing about it. 3. IF China gets Sovereignty over the SCS it can control, regulate, or even stop other nations using it for maritime trade. That would give China control over the maritime trade of Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, and Taiwan. Even Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, India, Japan and other nations would be affected.
