Nansha (Spratlys), South China Sea & Prof. Carty As a neutral, independent secularist humanitarian, human rights observer etc., my indepth independent scholastic research shows that NO monarchist-monarchy, royalty, politician, muslim, malaysian, malay, islamist, etc. and those in the categories given, will ever be able to solve China's strong legal claim on the Nansha Islands (Spratlys) in light of Prof. Carty's published extensive research.

We are now in 2024. This generation is mature enough to put aside ideological difference and look for common grounds. Capitalism, socialism and communism are not mutually exclusive.
