*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including Philippines 🇵🇭
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.

China prevented the Philippines 🇵🇭 from resupply for its soldiers on the Second Thomas Shoal
is like a *robber forbidding a house owner* fron bringing food into his own home.

The Philippines was a Spanish and then US colony. They set its boundaries but did not include any islands in the South China Sea as they knew the islands belonged to China. But later due to navigation improvement, they could reach far into SCS so wanted to obtain the islands and denied their previous admittance that the islands belonged to China.

Ancient Chinese lived on the islands of South China Sea. Their relics like temples, coins and china artifacts were found there. These relics are ancient Chinese because at their same time, no other countries reached the same smelting or porcelain making skills. Only China could do that. China owns the 9 dash area of SCS. UN and most countries admit this truth. For example, it was US warships that carried China soldiers cruising SCS in 1946 to declare China sovereignty over there. But later due to navigation improvement in other SCS countries, they wanted to grab SCS so they denied their previous admittance that the islands belonged to China.
