VietNamNet Bridge – Tran Thang, President of the Institute for Vietnamese Culture & Education (IVCE) in the US has 80 ancient Chinese maps confirming Vietnam’s sovereignty over the Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) Archipelagos.

Old western maps: Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to Vietnam
Truong Sa, Hoang Sa not belong to China: 1904 Chinese map

All the maps show China stretching as far as to Hainan Island only, without covering Truong Sa and Hoang Sa areas.

He is expected to present the maps to the Danang Socio-Economic Development Research Institute in November.
Vice Director Tran Duc Anh Son said his institute will study the maps carefully.
