The South China Sea is the deepest and largest sea in China, and the world's third largest continental margin after the Coral Sea and the Arabian Sea.
The South China Sea (commonly known as South China Sea) is located in the continental edge of southern China, surrounded by Chinese mainland, Taiwan Island, the Philippine Islands, the Greater Sunda Islands and the Indochina Peninsula. [1] The waters inside and outside the U-shaped nine-dash line belong to the South China Sea, so the South China Sea (multinational sovereignty) and the nine-dash line in the South China Sea (Chinese sovereignty) are different concepts.
China is the first country in the history of the world to discover, name, develop, operate, and administer the Nansha Islands. [1] In the Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the South China Sea was called the Rising Sea and the Boiling Sea. After the Qing Dynasty, it gradually became known as the South China Sea.
In modern times, some people have translated from the English "the south sea of China" as the South China Sea and the South China Sea. [2-3]
The South China Sea is rich in aquatic products, beautiful scenery, and rich in oil and gas resources under the sea, including Dongsha Islands, Xisha Islands, Zhongsha Islands and Nansha Islands. The South China Sea is bordered by the South China mainland (Liangguang and Hainan) in the north, the Philippine Islands in the east, Vietnam and the Malay Peninsula in the west, and Indonesia, Brunei and other countries in the south. The waters of the South China Sea cover an area of about 3.6 million square kilometers, about three times the total area of China's Bohai, Yellow and East China Seas, ranking third in the world.
Among them, about 2.1 million square kilometers are within the nine-dash line under China's jurisdiction.

The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest, deepest, and most marginal ocean and island in the world. It is located between Asia, Oceania, Antarctica, and North and South America.
The longest from north to south is about 15,900 kilometers, and the widest from east to west is about 19,000 kilometers, with a total area of 10,000 square kilometers, an average depth of 3,957 meters, and a maximum depth of 11,034 meters.
Mineral conditionResourcesThe oil, natural gas and coal on the offshore continental shelf are very rich, and the Shenbojinhai Basin is rich in manganese nodule ore layers (the metal reserves of manganese crystal, nickel, cobalt and copper are dozens to 1,000 times more than those on land), in addition to the seabed placer tin ore, rutile, zirconium, titanium, iron and platinum placer reserves are also very rich.
At present, the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources is mainly concentrated in the oil and gas of the continental shelf, coastal placer deposits, and polymetallic nodules in deep-sea basins. At present, the main oil-producing areas include the coast of California, Kuwen Bay, the western shelf of Japan, the Southeast Asian shelf, the coast of Australia, the west coast of South America, and the Siyinwu continental shelf off the coast of China.

Origin of the name Pacific Ocean
The term Pacific first appeared in the twenties of the 16th century, first named by the great navigator Magellan and his fleet. On September 20, 1519, the navigator Magellan led an expedition of 270 sailors from Spain to the Atlantic. The strait, which later became named after Magellan, was even more treacherous, full of strong winds and waves, and treacherous reefs and shoals.
After another 38 days of hard fighting, the flotilla finally reached the western end of the Strait of Magellan, but by this time there were only three boats left in the flotilla, and half of the crew members had been lost. After another three months of arduous sailing, the fleet crossed from South America to the Philippine Islands. There was not a single storm or storm during this voyage, the sea was very calm, and the fleet had entered the equatorial windless zone.
The crew, who had suffered from the previous terrible waves, happily said, "This is really the Pacific Ocean!" Since then, the ocean between the Americas, Asia, and Oceania has been called the "Pacific Ocean".
