China didn't claim Spratly islands until 1992 when oil was discovered. China came up with fake maps and history.
1993-1994: war at sea with Vietnam. China took some Spratly islands.
2001-2002: China agrees to a Neutrol Zone
2011: China violates the Neutrol Zone agreement with other countries.
Paracel islands was under Champa. Vietnam took over Champa and the Vietnam king sent letter to the China shortly after. China King accepted that Paracel islands are a part of Vietnam.
After WW2, China claimed those islands by using fake fossil, history.
1974: China defeated South Vietnamese at sea. China took all the Paracel islands.
