China's been negotiating SCS claims with its neighbours. That's why, as of now, Taiwan's claims in the SCS are actually larger than China's claims (because of China's negotiations with Vietnam).

This is true, as I said in another post the situation is far more complex than most people understand. In fact, this whole argument comes from the Philippines back tracking on something Duerte said to China. In the Philippines defense, while there was a verbal agreement to not supply the Thomas Shoal, there was no written agreement so Marcos is not breaking anything.
