This island belongs to China since ancient times. The proof can be found on old Chinese maps.

This is obviously a mistake. I have an ancient Chinese map in my hands showing that this island was part of China since time immemorial.

China to plan massive numbers of Han Chinese to live on the island as they did in Tibet, but this time just Chinese and no aboriginal people. Very easy pickings. Oh wait, maybe just move some of the Chinese from the port Pakistan let China take over in Pakistan. Invasion of the pakistani based chinese boat people. lol I think China has made it a point that the Chinese are not going to go away any time soon! Like it or not, which most do not like it! And yes show me that map you just made and printed out China !!!

I was going to say, "Great," but then this:
"Such land masses have appeared before off Pakistan’s Makran coast, said Muhammed Arshad, a hydrographer with the navy. After quakes in 1999 and 2010, new land masses rose up along a different part of the coast about 175 miles (282 kilometers) east of Gwadar, he said.
Each of those disappeared back into the sea within a year during the stormy monsoon season that sweeps Pakistan every summer, he said."
Oh well.
