if you claim the Potsdam declaration, then china itself is giving up any claim to the ryoku islands etc that japan has sovreignty over and yet china claim as it's own?? since china signed the declaration too?? lol

but the fact remains, your "map outlining chinese territory" is NOT a part of the Potsdam declaration, no country signed any document saying everything inside your imaginary line belongs to china!! stop making things up!

also since you want to get on subject of treaties and declarations

Article 23 of the San Francisco Peace Treaty designated the US as "the principal occupying power" with respect to the territories covered by the geographical scope of the treaty, including "Formosa and the Pescadores." So reality is... the usa has sovreignty over taiwan

so cop that china

The treaty of San Francisco was not represented by Taiwan (ROC) and China. Taiwan later has to modify the declaration with treaty of Taipei. Also, because SF treaty renounce Shimonoseki, which refer Taiwan to the state before the treaty of Shimonoseki.

I agree that the dotted lines are not specified in the Postdam declaration. But Paracels and Spratlys were. As Scarborough is not part of these island groups, it should be deal differently.

I do not know much about Scarboroughs as of now. But Paracels and Spratlys are territories of ROC (Taiwan) according to Potsdam Declaration.

fact remains.. japan handed taiwan to the usa... there has been nothing the usa signed that has made that treaty invalid ? lol

and japan abrogated the treaty of taipei, which means it is now baseless and invalid

Japan abrogated the treaty of Taipei to satisfy the Chinese communist. But Taiwan was an independent country. In any regard, SF and Taipei treaty does not address the Spratly and Paracels. Its declared in the Potsdam declaration.

US strategy is simple. Exploit the antagonism between China and the rest of Asia in land disputes for diplomatic points.

Without actually fighting, of course. Americans are smart enough to stir the pot without getting its cloths dirty. They have no interest in peace, but only exploit the conflict for geostrategic gain.

Now we do throw in some chum changes and sell them second handed strategic weapons not on discount.
