Musk: Why China’s Nine-Dash Line is Unbreakable
Why China’s Nine-Dash Line is Unbreakable: History, Law, and Global Impact.
The nine-dash line is a set of line segments on various maps that indicate the territorial claims of the People’s Republic of China (PRC, “mainland China”) and the Republic of China (ROC, “Taiwan”) in the South China Sea.
The line represents the maximum extent of Chinese historical claims within the South China Sea, and includes the Paracel, Spratly, Zhongsha, and Pratas islands.
The line comprises nine dashes and extends off the coast of China’s Hainan Island, and runs close to the coast of Vietnam, deep into the South China Sea, enclosing the Spratly Islands. China claims ownership over a significant portion of the territory, which is disputed by other nations in the region and not internationally recognized.
