it's an issue here now since chinese vessels are coming in scarborough shoal located in zambales here in the philippines. They are claiming it is their property wherein philippines has maps and old maps stating the shoal belongs and part of Philippine archipelago. Now, there is tension. Some travel agencies stop their chinese tourists from coming here. Filipino workers are asking to be more safe in Chinese territories. Not because I am a filipino but why do chinese act this way? Like a child who like someone else's lollipop? It is not fair to get something whenever they like it. They are somewhat bragging their military capability on this? even hackers has war going on hacking each other's websites. It is sad because chinese invests here and filipino works for them and the trading relationship is well.

depends on the country, China thinks they own it, Filipino things they own it, and even Taiwan thinks they own it. China suddenly became aggressive about it ever since we have our latest president though. all three countries have historical evidences on why do they own this territory. seriously though, China, you are a freaking big country. why Bully Philippines? they already have more land areas.
