South China Sea Disputes
The little just barely above the oceans surface rocks have been built up by China over the years to lay claim to territory that is within the boundaries of other nations.

In some respect this is the next war front if pushed by China and especially for those resources below the oceans water.
China’s sweeping claims of sovereignty over the sea—and the sea’s estimated 11 billion barrels of untapped oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas—have antagonized competing claimants Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. As early as the 1970s, countries began to claim islands and various zones in the South China Sea, such as the Spratly Islands, which possess rich natural resources and fishing areas.
