    It’s such a bogus claim too. I could see them claiming around Hainan but the South China Sea is so far south I can’t see how they could even claim it.

    I love how Malaysia is simultaneously very rich in Chinese history and constantly giving China the finger.

    I went to the Cameron Highlands once and a sweet old lady who owned a Chinese food shop there said she and her family left mainland China because they hated the government. Best chicken fried rice I’ve ever had in my entire life.
