Examples

“The March 1992 CIA map includes the Macclesfield Bank, the Truro Shoal and the Scarborough Reef as belonging in the Paracel Archipelago. As there are only Chinese claims to the Macclesfield Bank (and presumably to both the Truro Shoal and the Scarborough Reef), this debatable point appears to be overlooked by most scholars.”

“On 19 November 2007, China created the district of Sansha which encompasses the Paracels (Xisha Qundao), the Spratlys (Nansha qundao) and Zhongsha qundao, a fictitious archipelago which gathers the submarine elevation of Macclesfield Bank, the submarine elevation of Truro shoal and Scarborough reef, and the waters these archipelagos are supposed to generate around them.”

“Marc remembered the impact as the Lynx collided with the whitecaps off Truro Shoal, the cold waters of the South China Sea filling the helicopters cockpit and battering him back against his seat.”
