Actual situation of the area
The Paracel Islands are a conglomeration of natural islands, reefs and
artificial islands built on top of natural reefs. The ownership situation
between the neighbouring countries is controversial, since the zones of economic
use and historical claims are overlapping. The more detailed table ilustrates
the situation.
The table below summarizes the consolidated information and geographically
reviewed situation of the islands and reefs. Different sources were included,
which, given the different interests of the neighboring countries, resulted in
conflicting information that was at least reconciled geographically. Where this
could not be done sufficiently, this is noted in the table. The sources used are
noted below the table.
The reefs have been included as they are considered starting points for
declaration of territorial claims and are generally used as the basis for
artificial islands.
From the controversial assignment - see table - it must be stated seen as
incomplete information - the assignment is also controversial. If you note any
errors or you have additional information, please let us know by email.
