Comment from l8ghtofheaven
Hi pitscheplatsch, in fact all action taken by China on Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands is illegal. They have been building airport, houses and military office on these islands which belong to Vietnam, parallel with expanding military force in South China Sea. Although it is called South China Sea, only a north part of it belong to China, not all of it. Therefore I believe that I am as a VIetnamese citizen will not accept this. Before they use their passport with the wrong map, we dont accept it. Doing some research I know that now facebook use openstreetmap as their map service, if users use it for a long time China will say we accept it as a fact but we will ever never accept this.

In Google map they already changed the name to Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands. I can see that the chinese letter means China and Sansha City is really a big joke, we are small country but we are not stupid.

Comment from FTA
Hi l8ghtofheaven, generally in OpenStreetMap we follow a policy of representing de facto borders in the case of the South China Sea because of the disputes that are occurring by multiple countries. Usually that choice stems from the on the ground situation. This document http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/d/d8/DisputedTerritoriesInformation.pdf provides you with some more information about disputed regions. There are many tags throughout this region that indicate islands are disputed. If you are interested in changing tags on some of these islands, I encourage you to first start a discussion with the community through changeset comments. Also, the great thing about OSM is that it's freely downloadable. This allows you to download the data and modify it as you'd like for your own use on personal websites.
