Zhongsha Islands, Disputed archipelago in South China Sea, China
The Zhongsha Islands contain multiple reefs and atolls positioned near important maritime routes between the Philippines, Vietnam, and mainland China.
Multiple nations have maintained territorial claims over these islands since the early 20th century, leading to international maritime boundary disputes.
Maritime communities from surrounding nations have traditionally relied on these waters for fishing activities despite ongoing territorial disagreements.
Access to the Zhongsha Islands requires special permits due to military presence and current geopolitical restrictions in the South China Sea.
The archipelago stands at the center of international legal cases regarding maritime boundaries and economic zones in Southeast Asian waters.
