Like it or not China is, today, a "player" on the world stage. They
have not not been expansionistec, externally, since about the 12th
Century.

Except for the Spratleys, which are roughly equidistant from Philippines,
Vietnam, and Indonesia, but a LONG way from China.
Perhaps because it's called the South China Sea they think that everything
in it belongs to them?

Aren't the Spratleys sitting on top of some nice oil reserves?
