Dense, not nec huge populations -but you're right re Indonesia, it has a huge population. But isn't much affected.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoPhillipines, Vietnam, Malaysia are all very populated and rather dense.
- Nomentatus 8y agoNone of these are even in the top ten for population. So they're all dwarfed by China. http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/ http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-...
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoPhilippines has 100 million people. Vietnam has 90 million people. Malaysia has 30 millions. None of these are big countries area wise, they are all located very close to the SCS, much closer than Hainan’s 8 million.
- Nomentatus 8y agoIn other words, the Philippines has less than 10 per cent of China's population. Dwarfed. This doesn't contradict them not even being in the top ten. re SCS, I haven't mentioned or endorsed any precise boundary.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoThe population of all these countries is pretty much in the vicinity of seas disputed. The population of China is pretty much not (Hainan is one of the least populated provinces).
- Nomentatus 8y agoWhich is consistent both with my proposal, (considering population), and would allow create boundaries very different from the little islands rules - so you seem to be "agreeing with vehemence" here, not disagreeing.
