Why are they fighting over territorial waters that belong to CHina? And why did the Phillipines say the U.S. would help them? This seems absurd and I don't think another war is good for my country. ... instigating is one thing but trying to involve another nation stoops down so many levels especially when the country is in debt because of a war that wasn't really warranted in the first place!

Another war for your country? I wasn't aware that China was involved in any wars at present?

Only a Chinese person would think those waters belong to China.

He (as China) may think so, but if the same argument to justify the Chinese claim is applied in the reverse way, then hainan island is part of vietnam or the phillipines.
How can you claim as yours part of the continental shelf of other countries. How can you, with a straight face, claim as yours over 200 miles of water, allowing others just to claim barely 3 miles?.
If we apply the Chinese logic to the USA, the Bahamas, and all islands in the Caribbean do belong to USA. What is good for one must be good for all other nations.
