Ne^'u ma` chu'ng no' claim the Spratlys based  on historical 
documents eons ago, even thought some of the areas are clearly
and distinctively on our continental shelf, then
tui cha('c cha('n ra(`ng tu.i no' co' documents claim that Vietnam belonged
to them a thousand years ago.  Tui nghi~ co' le~ sau khi chu'ng no'
"su*.c" xong spratlys, will our country be next?? 
after all, it is only a few more miles to our shores.
Certainly it won't happen because I won't let it happens.
Tibet is gone because of the f*$&cking historical documents.
 Yeah! right! what kind of a f#@#6cking logics is this 
in the modern 20th century that the chinks government is operating on?
  Lua^.t ru*`ng!?  
    If negotiation fail, we should rally the world, especially the
United Nations, to isolate china thru trade sanction. And, Bush
certainly won't get my vote for this  coming election.

ps. I intentionally uncapitalize any word  begins  with the 
four letters  c.h.i.n.
  and sorry  about my swearing language.
