evidence: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratly_Islands_dispute for a statement of the dispute involving the Spratlys and the claims of different States involved and for a description of the Spratly islands and associated "maritime features" (reefs, banks, cays, etc.) located in the South China Sea. Only China (PRC), Taiwan (ROC), and Vietnam have made claims based on historical sovereignty of the islands. The Philippines, however, claims part of the area as its territory under the UNCLOS. For summary of the territorial claims of countries involved see www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/spratly-claims.htm.
