As far as supplies are concerned, they'll probably send a naval supply and refueling ship to keep on squatting. By the time they're done, whatever is left of that reef would be nothing but coral rubble and garbage thrown over to the side.

Spoiler for China's South Sea Claims: Fact or Fiction?:
China's argument is that since our ancient and fallen dynasties made such claims it must be true to the present thus all that we see is ours. That's like claiming since your ancestor own that piece of land in Roman times automatically means you own it too. Basically they still think they are the Middle Kingdom and the rest of the world should pay fealty. Well that attitude didn't work with the British when the Opium wars happened. Why do they think it would happen today? The joke with China is that it is has always been slow to accept change. In its resistance to change it got rolled over by outsiders. |

As based on what it seems, China recognised that Scarbough belonged to the Philippines after all. It's just that the Chinese government believed Philippines are a part of them?

lol , if you watch it to the end it talks about how the Filipinos will have to eventually give in anyway because so much of their banana crop depends on Chinese business. It's like saying "oh and if you didn't believe the sovereignty BS we tried to feed you earlier, well guess what! we're boss, what're you gonna do about it?"

Scarborough Shoal: Early as the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, Filipino fishermen were already using the area as a traditional fishing ground and shelter during bad weather.
Spratly Islands: It's close to Palawan, and is a natural extension. |

As of now:
* The local weather bureau's website has been hacked. * A major TV channel's website is possibly being assaulted with DDoS (as I can't access the site) at this very moment.

It only end up with 24,000 chinese killed by Spaniards, Filipino and Japanese. Do you meant we're literally "owned"? Just because PRC is a superpower with its leaders have such minds of mongoloids? Well, sorry PRC, you suck when you accept communism! |

And I never said that China didn't have similar problems, just that to single out China for having "old ways" is stupid. |

Just a question: What is the biggest basis in owning the islands? Historical background (Philippines and China seems to have both though moreso on the Philippines), population (I don't think anyone lives there), how close is it to the country (Philippines would win there), or something that I honestly do not know? I'm sorta serious since I really don't know so will someone care to elaborate?
Though common sense (my common sense) would definitely tell me that China can't have hold on this. Besides threatening the Philippines with the holds they have on the country, China's way too far and I doubt they're getting it for "historical" reasons.

China's claim is on history as serveral Pervious Dynasty have Claim those islands as a part of the Chinese Empire. The Republic of China (under both the Nationalist and Communist) have reiterate those claims several times in the 20th Century.
Philippines claims is both proximity. the Philippines did not make a formal claim until the 1970s. besides China and the Philippines, both Vietnam and Malaysia also claim those islands.
