How do you equate a bad decision by Taiwan to claim these islands, with the CCP claiming the entire South China Sea? It would be like the US claiming the entire Caribbean. It is a toxic, heinous, ugly overreach by a nation that is abusing the power they now have. 

Looks like you didn't know anything about Taiwan's original claim. Here's the 1947 claim by the ROC (called the 11-dash line map).

To appease Vietnam, the PRC removed 2-dashes from the original Taiwan claim, becoming the 9-dash line map. The irony here is that Vietnam's later claim itself is just slightly smaller than Taiwan's. Just to remind you that many nations in the region have overlapping claims against each other, not just with China.

True. But they don't attempt to enforce it with threatening jets, ships and water cannons. 

 

Guess that is left to the rabid big dog. It is likely a training exercise for them, since their navy is short range and they cannot hassle nations further away.
