Can someone please provide a 'context' map? 95% of readers don't want to know the relative positions of Northeast Cay and West York Island, they want to know where in the hell these islands are! Herdrick Feb 17 2005
I don't know when exactly this map was made but it must be after 1843 because Thanh Hoá 清化 is on the map. Before 1843 it's called Thanh Hoa 清華 (source official Nguyễn dynasty history: Đại Nam thực lục Vol 32). --KomradeRice (talk) 18:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
I haven't followed this topic for ages so maybe just out of date. However in regards to the current paragraph in the article.
Majority of hostile acts in the territory have come from China, as reported by multiple verified international news and independent media.[119][120] Chinese aggression have increased rapidly in the last few decades, forcing multiple countries to pushback, both diplomatically and militarily. Various fishing boats have been harassed by Chinese warships, of which those boats were from nationals of Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Brunei, Vietnam, and the Philippines, all of which have made push-backs against China's aggressive territorial acts.
I read the sources and cannot find anything suggesting that Chinese warships have harrassed boats (around disputed Spratley) from from nationals of (Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Brunei.) If there is sources for that info, be great if you could add it in.
Only the approx 3 given sources describe a Chinese fishing boat ramming a Filipino fishing boat, and also a Chinese coast guard ramming a Vietnamese fishing boat. (2 incidents total) That doesn't strike me as China mostly ramming or sinking 'most' or 'many' other ships on a daily basis like previous edit was implying.
The paragraph just seems like original research (OR) which is frowned upon. As the given sources doesn't really say all that info in the paragraph. So either add in better sources or that paragragh needs to be fixed to reflect the information in sources more faithfully. Destinyseeker89 (talk) 02:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
