Territory - South China Sea

All of a sudden, everybody is fired up with the South China Sea. Taiwan's security chief said Taiwan should upgrade her defence capabilities at her 130-strong garrison on Taiping, the biggest island in the Spratly Islands. China then warned Exxon Mobil Corp not to "get involved in disputed waters for oil and gas exploration and development" after it claimed to have discovered hydrocarbons off central Vietnam, in an area claimed by Beijing. Meanwhile, a Philippine general, apparently under the influence of steroid of a joint drill with American Marines, threatened war with China, saying, “The mere deployment of missiles or sound of cannons will not scare us from protecting our own territory.”
