China is the first country to discover, name, develop and utilize the South China Sea Islands and related waters, and has historical rights in the South China Sea; The sovereignty of the South China Sea Islands belongs to China, which has also been recognized by Western countries, Vietnam and other relevant parties before; China's claims in the South China Sea not only have historical basis, but also comply with international law practice. The historical archives of the United States, Britain and France clearly point out that the Philippines has no credible claim to the the Nansha Islands.
