Hvad er kinas påstand om scarborough shoal?
En række lande har fremsat historiske krav om brug af Scarborough-soklen. Kina har hævdet, at et kort fra Yuan-dynastiet fra 1279 og efterfølgende opmålinger foretaget af den kongelige astronom Guo Shoujing under Kublai Khans regeringstid har fastslået, at Scarborough Shoal (dengang kaldet Zhongsha-øerne) siden det 13. århundrede har været brugt af kinesiske fiskere.

A number of countries have made historic claims of the use of Scarborough shoal. China has claimed that a 1279 Yuan dynasty map and subsequent surveys by the royal astronomer Guo Shoujing carried out during Kublai Khan's reign established that Scarborough shoal (then called Zhongsha islands) were used since the thirteenth century by Chinese fishermen.
