Not every claim is the same. You can't really compare China to Greece, China is a nuclear power, millions of soldiers, she already showed not fearing using force.
- largepeepee 4y agoYou are basing it on military power, of which no doubt China and the US has some crazy claims, but if you just look at ridiculousness Europe's ones are probably the craziest because of colonies. Portugal's EEZ claim for example is larger than the size of India.
- chickenimprint 4y agoPortuguese claims are pretty legit, the Azores and Madeira were previously uninhabited and settled by the Portuguese before the Eastern Roman Empire even fell. Excluding small island states, the seafood consumption per capita is the highest in the world, you can literally smell it in their supermarkets, and this traditional diet is supported to a large degree by the fishing industry within their EEZ. The proposed EEZ forms one continuous area with the mainland, something that can't be said for US, UK and French posessions.
