    I personally loved how China claimed the damn entire thing.

    I'm just waiting for some European power to claim it.

    Actually no I don't know how that turned out, I lost interest in this when I came to the conclusion that Vietnam should get it.

    European powers took land in the area during the age of imperialism.
    They don't have any more 'legitimate' claim to it now. Under their rules too.

    I think Brunei should have the islands because that would get them 1 step closer to reclaiming Borneo from the dirty Malaysians and Indonesians.
