This claim would make more sense if first a marketing campaign removed "China" from the name of these seas from history.
edit: some people are complaining that only the name is not enough for a country to build infraestructure around it. What is it different than for example US fourth fleet stationed close to Brazil and Argentine or any other american fleets? This fleet is enough to wage war against any or even all latin america countries.
In face of current developments, I fully support China construction in that vital area for their economy. My country should answer the same way if you ask me.

- jbooth 9y agoI'm sorry, are you saying that India should control the whole Indian ocean and the West Indies for good measure? Maybe some reservations in Arizona as well?
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoThe following are all potentially valid names for that body of water. South China Sea, West Philippine Sea, North Natuna Sea. There are more if you start to go outside of English such as "East sea" in Vietnamese. Proposals for new names include Indochina Sea and Asean Sea. South Sea might be viable. It'd be nice to see the name settle as "The sea that can not be named".
