Hoan Viet, a researcher at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, said for China to include nearly all of the South China Sea in its map “is a political issue and an external affairs issue.”

Taiwanese immigration officials do not affix their official seals on Chinese passports because Chinese enter Taiwan with special travel documents, not passports, he said.
