Wait, using Chinese logic does this mean that Mongolia can claim the entirety of China?

There's something quite fitting about their own made islands crumbling so quickly.

I live in Florida, trying to build up artificial shorelines is a nonstop job. Nature wants the shore to look like it wants not how people want

Every Vietnamese soldiers knows how to grow crops. Growing crops and minimizing waste is a character of all Vietnamese soldiers to fight in war time and produce in peace time. so they’re growing crops doesn’t mean they’re laid back. It’s something they have to do in their daily routine, a practice they learned since the 60s.

With Chinese logic, the whole area of the Mediterranean would still belong to the city of Rome.

I have always thought we should build a sub type ship that could crumble those islands from below. But I guess they did it for us. 😂

Having been stationed on a coral atoll for a couple years, I can tell you if not built with extremely expensive and specific materials the ocean will wash it away

It's true. If you look under the waterline it says "Made in China" in fading, cracked letters
-
By using the "since ancient times" argument Italy has the rightful claim on all western Mediterranean sea and if you say im wrong you are attacking Italian sovereignty
-
Way to go Vietnam!
-
Because soil is compressing If you don't calculate the rate of the compression the island will sink You always have to bring more ground than you think because it will be squashed by its own weight quite quickly.
-
I honestly thought China reserved that level of workmanship for its exports only.
-
the concrete will 100% erode quickly. It’s in the middle of the ocean.

Excellent analysis! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
-
Thank you. Very interesting!
-
China: We will expand out to our invincible military islands. Nobody could possibly... Islands: Made in China (sad face)
-
China “made” the island BUT “the island” is not chinese territory. It belongs to The Philippines.
-
I like your English pronunciation, very clear and understandable.

Remember a good chunk of that "south china sea" is still called the "west philippine sea"
