evidence: Every Chinese student learns the name "James Shoal," or Zengmu Ansha, a small bank in the South China Sea, lying 72 feet below water. China officially claims the shoal as the southernmost feature of its territory, although Malaysia also claims it, under the UN Convention on the Continental Shelf. [...] "Where is the southernmost point of China’s territory?" is an often-asked question in high school examinations, explains Guan Siqi, 23, who works for an environmental NGO in Beijing. "At first you would wonder what the heck James Shoal was," Guan said. She said the nearness of other islands and countries to the nine-dash line made her wonder as a kid if China was being a bit of a bully, but it wasn’t until she read news about the territory the she learned it was actually disputed. [...] After this week’s court ruling, young Chinese say their belief that China’s territory extends to James Shoal is firmer than ever. No matter how the South China Sea issue plays out, Lin, the student in Australia, said, "I will stand by China."
