The South China Sea Maritime Tracker: China

This map depicts China's internationally submitted sovereignty and 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.

China's straight baseline and territorial sea coordinates have been cut off just southeast of Fuzhou in order to place greater emphasis on the South China Sea region.

In addition, a representation of China's Exclusive Economic Zone 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.
