China has been claiming a huge part of the territory of the Philippines over the South China Sea or also known as the West Philippine Sea, they are justifying their claim by saying that they have a historical right over that certain area due to the "9 dash line". However, following the UNCLOS, it is clear that the Philippines is the one that has right over that certain area. I want to know your stand and please do provide some supporting legal basis.
China intended to encroach on the East Sea does not comply with the principle of territorial position. China once intended to invade Truong Sa, Paracel of Vietnam, but patriotic patriots defend their territory. They are now doing a lot of counterfeit goods to harm people.
Are you mentioning about the Battle of the Paracel Islands in 1974? If I am not wrong, then the Chinese were quite successful and they captured several of the islands which were previously under the Vietnamese control. These islands remains under the control of China even now. Vietnam lost more than 50 of its soldiers during the conflict.
