<div id="ygrps-yiv-856365020">the paracel islands too are claimed by 3 countries <br/>
namely cntwvn <br/>
but are occupied only by china<br/>

since china & taiwan & vietnam all likewise claim all the spratlys <br/>

it would appear that the perhaps 8 spratlys that are also claimed <br/>
by the philippines <br/>

comprise all together the dozen most claimed territories in the <br/>

being evidently all tied at 4 claimants each<br/>
whether cnphtwvn or cnmytwvn<br/>

&gt; offer territories that are claimed by 3 different countries or more  <br/>
