I think it's pretty clear that China's claim is the weakest of all nations near the Spratlys. It's nearest land border is more than 1,000 km distant!

A lot of overlapping territorial lines there.
China may try to exploit this fact to act as a sort of land-grabber.

There are oil/gas fields near the Chinese island of Hainan.
