China may go to war with Vietnam to shore up support: Russian media

There are 6 countries that have overlapping claims in the South China sea. There's actually a small fraction claimed by all 6. I don't think China is going to bother to go after Taiwan here, but that leaves Vietnam and 3 other countries.

What's funny is that the ROC actually claims more land than the PRC.

What's funny is that the ROC actually claims more land than the PRC.

The funnier thing is that the ROC is essentially forced to continue claiming those lands lest it do anything constituted as a declaration of independence.

But I don't think the PRC claims any of Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan, Bhutan, or Myanmar, so I doubt they'd care if the ROC gave up those claims.

Another funny thing is that Taiwan claims all of Mongolia, and they are 2 of the 5 or so freest countries in Asia according to Freedom House.
