The Falklands? Not even remotely the same.
The Falklands have only ever been inhabited permanently by British settlers and have
NEVER been under the control of Argentina (except for 2
months in 1982 before they got slapped back into the sea)
The South China sea claims go right over the legitimate territorial and economic boundaries of other nations, some many thousands of Km from China
itself and they base this solely on the fact Chinese traders rules these seas some 400 years ago - they are having to
build islands to live on
in order to "shore up" their claims (pardon the pun)
