  Have you heard of the James Shoal (Zengmu Ansha in Chinese)? Do you know where it is? My last blog article talked about the perception gap between China and its neighbors. The story of James Shoal is a good example of this huge difference in perception.
  For anyone who received an education in China, Zengmu Ansha (James Shoal) is a very familiar name. For example, in the current eighth grade geography textbook published by People’s Education Press, a map of China with the nine-dashed line can be found on page 4. For identification purposes, the editors used an arrow to point out James Shoal. Also, the map has a call-out box with a note: “The southernmost point of our country’s territory is Zengmu Ansha in the Nansha (Spratly) Islands.” Students are asked to use a ruler to measure from the northernmost point of China to Zengmu Ansha and then to calculate the actual distance based on the scale of the map. The correct answer is 5,500 kilometers (3417 miles).
  James Shoal is a small bank in the South China Sea, lying under the water at a depth of 22 meters (72 feet). It is located about 80 km (50 mi) from the Malaysian coast and about 1,800 km from the Chinese mainland. Both the PRC and ROC officially claim the shoal as the southernmost feature of China. Malaysia also claims the shoal.
