Taiwan's South China Sea Maritime Claims
This map depicts each claimant's internationally submitted sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction claims featured in national legislation with regard to the South China Sea. Click on a feature to learn more about each individual claim.
Disclaimer
Taiwan is not party to UNCLOS, meaning its maritime claims were not submitted to the United Nations. Taiwan's territorial and maritime rights claims are a successor to those of the pre-1949 Republic of China's government.
In addition, a representation of Taiwan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is provided for additional reference on its claims. No claimant has publicly demarcated its EEZ, so this current representation may be subject to change.
In areas where maritime boundaries are in dispute, we show the claims of each party based on the best publicly available information. ICAS emphasizes that these maps are not to be taken as an endorsement of any one party's respective claims over another's.
