Then you would need to rewrite International Laws, wouldn't you?
The Chinese Only started grabbing islands, a few decades after the US, UK, France, Spain, Italy, had stopped grabbing islands.
In any case, where is the International Law which stipulate "hey, we have done enough stealing of islands - so from now on, nobody else can do what we have done, unless you are Vietnam, Philippine or Taiwan"
Lol
Btw, if you are really concern about INTERNATIONAL LAWS - instead of projecting your own biased narratives.
The UN court (ICJ) told both the UK and US to get out of Diego Garcia island!!! And this was ONLY IN 2019!!!
Is that recent enough?
So why hasn't both the UK and US complied with that ruling?
