What's ironic about this article of "History of Nine-Dash Line", is that it mentioned ROC (Republic Of China) 0 times, and only mentioned Taiwan twice (in either cases related to the actual history). The fact is that the original Eleven-Dash Line/Nine-Dash Line was established by ROC (now Taiwan) who still holds the claim, and is furious about the recent "ruling". I guess nobody gives an F what Taiwan thinks in this matter is probably because... well who cares about Taiwan, when we are talking about the Big Bad China, right? Sarcasm aside, if you want to talk about history, at least get the actual history part right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-dash_line
