No land above sea level?

[edit]

The article says, there is no land above sea level. That doesn't seem to be correct, because in the article about the Scarborough Shoal, it says it is above water. 158.194.90.21 (talk) 07:55, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where does the Scarborough Shoal article say there is land (not the odd rock or 50 - actual land) above water? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:11, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Have a look at http://southseaconversations.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/scarborough-shoal-a-photo-tour/ Pdfpdf (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No Vietnamese claim??

[edit]

The Zhongsha Islands are a collection of entirely submerged banks, seamounts, and shoals in the South China Sea. The two major features of the area are the Macclesfield Bank (Chinese: Zhōngshā) and the Scarborough Shoal. The whole of the region is claimed by the PRC and the ROC, and various bits of the western parts are claimed by the Philippines.

I'm both surprised by, and dubious of, the statement/implication that that Vietnamese make no claims to this area. (i.e. I don't believe it.) I don't know how to go about gaining unbiased "just-the-facts-Ma'am" information without starting some sort of Wikipedia-war. Perhaps a wiser and more experienced wikipedian than me can advise?
