#3 In the past China illegally occupied the Paracel Islands and expelled South Vietnamese regional forces. It had no proper claim to the islands aside from the worn out excuse that a fourteenth century Chinese map encloses all of the South China Sea. In contrast, Vietnam had maps on deposit in Hue that proved Vietnamese occupation of the Islands going back hundreds of years. If the Chinese try to take the Spratly they will have war with Viet Nam. And, historically, that has always turned out badly for the Chinese.

#4 China knows they cant fight a war. They sabre rattle then send in their businesses to reconcile. Once the business folks are there and engrained in the society they have effectively taken over the country. Most of the businesses, and local influencers in the PI are Chinese. The Chinese are taking what they want from the PI and there is nothing the PI can do about it.

#7 I'm sure there is probably an old British map somewhere showing most of China as being part of the 'British Empire'... Including Peking.
