@dharmdevil the actual history is that the 9 dash line was recognized by the world in the previous world maps of China and it was also accepted by the United Nations. When the power shifted from Taipei to Beijing, the USA who is not a signatory to the UN Law of the Seas used this law to play up the Philippines and other ASEAN nations to make claims based on this law. China is a signatory to this law. I don’t think that China is so stupid to be a signatory to a law that undermines it’s own territorial integrity. The reason is that there was no dispute on these islands before the UN Law of the Seas came up. These were islands that were internationally recognized as part of China. Now they have to defend these islands as Neighbouring countries are making claims to them. I believe there must be more to this law than we know, we are all probably just blinded by the US geopolitical move to sway ASEAN and the world to think that China is the aggressor to claim islands that is now not theirs any more due to a new law that has just come up.

@charlesrodriguez8839 Sabah originally belonged to the Sultan of Brunei. He later ceded part of Eastern Sabah to the Sultan of Sulu for helping him to fight off their enemies. These territories were later conned by the British through a north Borneo charter and subsequently made to be British territory. The country of North Borneo obtained their independence from the British and subsequently Joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. So to say and Claim Sabah as Filipino territory is totally not accurate. Sabah or North Borneo was never part of the Philippines at all. Although the eastern part of Sabah which was ceded to the Sultan of Sulu has leased it to the British indefinitely. This lease was done prior to the Kingdom of Sulu being absorbed in the Philippines. In any case the Sultan of Sulu is also a Malaysian national not a Filipino national at least on paper. Even though the whole world knows that he also hold a Filipino passport.

@nebula526 Taiwan is not a sovereign nation as Taiwan has no nationhood status and do not fall in to the definition of sovereign nationhood at all. There is no evidence to show that Taiwan can be considered sovereign or nationhood.
