Japan Slams China for Unauthorized Research Around Okinotori Island

Historical title does not. There is no such example of a country owning water as sovereign territory except 12nm from shore. China just wants to assert control over the sea and just making up new rules and breaking old ones along the way, and doing so in a way that draws all the neighboring countries into concern about China's ambition.

The sea of Okhostsk is under Russia sovereignty and Russia actually had closed the sea to outside shipping.

It only states that there is only one China and that it is the PRC. But there's nothing in there addressing the territory of what was Formosa. So from the perspective of the UN, the ruling government on Taiwan is just not participating at the UN.

Very wrong, as PRC is RoC's successor according to the UN.

Errr... No. In any case, back to the original debate. China have more rights to Spratly than Japan rights to EEZ of Okinokori which is a submerged rock.
