Really more of a PR spectacle than a worthwhile experiment.

Including humans seems to have caused most of the problems there. If you actually wanted to experiment with closed biological systems in a useful way then I'd recommend doing a bunch of trials with a less cantankerous species of large omnivorous mammal, like the goat.

How about the Spratly Sea?

Taiwan was originally not a country, but it became one when it held elections. Having been elected by the people of the island of Formosa, and with no other legitimate government laying claim to that territory, they became a legitimate government.

The fact that the CCP has a group of men with guns occupying China does not make them in any sense a government, it just makes them the world's largest and most murderous criminal gang. We should stop pretending that China has a government and start working on how to bring them to the Hague for trial.

Legal, orderly immigration of highly intelligent individuals is a fantastic thing.

The rest of the world... but since "South China Sea" is an English name I think a consensus among the English-speaking countries would suffice.

There's only a few dozen remaining completely unelected "governments" in the world, and yes, we should definitely get rid of all of them.

Certainly Taiwan never had a legitimate government either until recently but now they do, demonstrating that it can be done. I hope that the CCP can peacefully give up power too, but we should not take any military options off the table.

I spent way too long thinking about this and getting annoyed before remembering that Predictors aren't real.

Yes, but legitimate governments such as the be Philippines and Malaysia are also the subject of the CCP's imperial claims.

A better point would be that the current CCP regime in Beijing has no legitimate claim to be any kind of government with any legal claim over any territory whatsoever.

An unelected government is not a government, it's just a group of thugs who happen to have control over a capital city.

If China has any sort of legitimate government at all it's the one in Taiwan which was at least elected by somebody. But really, mainland China has no government, and the CCP should not be talked to or negotiated with as if they are a government.
