It’s seems the name “South China Sea” has provided China with a flimsy excuse for invasion.

Let’s start calling that body of water the “South Asian Sea”.

I’ve read that China has a very old map that shows the South China Sea as Chinese territory. And that is the basis for the current Chinese claims.

Flimsy indeed.

By the way, I recently found in my basement a map. It shows that my family owns all of China north of the Yangtze river. I wonder if China will honor this claim.

“Let’s start calling that body of water the “South Asian Sea”.”

How about the Americo-Philippine Sea?

That will piss them off.

Actually, the local press tends to call that body of water the West Philippine Sea.

(Possibly at some peril to continued good relations between China and the Philippines)
