    Most of this claim is perfectly reasonable. China is claiming international waters.

    I do agree though that the claim around Alaska is way too large – it looks a lot more like China’s claim in the South China Sea. Take some small islands and claim the whole sea as yours.

      Except those small islands near Alaska are natural, and have always been there, (On a human timescale, anyways) and were part of the original Alaska purchase. The one China uses to claim a whole sea was completely artificial, and built for the sole purpose of claiming new areas.
