即使中国目前对每个可居住岛屿所提的主权要求都被接受，12海里领海和与之相关的200海里专属经济区加起来也不可能达到中国九段线所涵盖的南中国海80%的水域规模。
Even if every one of China’s current sovereignty claims to particular habitable islands were to be accepted, the 12 nautical miles of territorial waters, and the 200 nautical miles of EEZ associated with each of them, would not begin to add up to the 80% of the South China Sea now encompassed by China’s nine-dash line.
