Taiwan and the disputed South China Sea are also included within the Chinese territory in the new map. The map also incorporates China's claims over the nine-dash line thus laying claim to a large part of the South China Sea. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei have all claims over the South China Sea areas....

China is dead serious.

And where it gets really interesting is the Chinese Communist Party not only believes it owns all the area within the nine-dash-line, it thinks it owns anyone with Chinese ancestors.
