South Rock

— Miscellaneous Islands South Rock (15°07'N., 117°49'E.) is part of the Scarborough Shoal, which is situated on a seamount in the South China Basin. There are no known specific claims to South Rock or any of the small rocks on the Shoal; however, the Shoal would be included in the sweeping claims the Chinese have made to the South China Sea.[…] South Rock (area A) has not been specifically claimed by anyone, except that it is included within the area encompassing the claim of both the PRC and ROC to the islets in the South China Sea. However, because of proximity the Philippines may have at least a "paper claim" to the Rock. Again there is the issue of whether or not such a small rock should be assigned anything more than a territorial sea, or whether the Rock should be removed from any consideration as a basepoint.[…] ISLETS OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA The list includes only those features that are high-tide elevations.[…] MACCLESFIELD BANK / Chung-sha Ch'un-Tao / Middle Sand Islands / 15°50'N., 114°20'E.
