The exercises included the landing of amphibious craft just off the James Shoal, 80 kilometres off the Malaysian coast.More here.
The James Shoal is China's most southerly territorial claim.
It is among several disputed parts of the South China Sea, including the Spratly Islands, that the People's Republic says belong to Beijing.
Map is the famous "Nine-Dashed Line" or "Cow's Tongue" showing the extent of Chinese South China Sea territorial claims.
I placed the yellow oval to show James Shoal area.
Island Grab????
ReplyDeleteMark, why don't you try grabbing some island yourself?
China had made this stand long even before the nation called MALAYSIA had even been existed!!!!
Just because you once, maybe, had a claim it doesn't mean time has stood still waiting for you to reassert that claim.
ReplyDeleteThat ship has sailed.
