The standoff is part of a larger regional struggle for control of several small, possibly oil-rich island chains in the region.

Meanwhile, Chinese oil company CNOOC has begun exploring for oil in another disputed island chain. Anti-Chinese sentiment is beginning to swell. Who is going to tell the Chinese just how ridiculous their claims are?
