These old Chinese maps from Chinese historical sources (from 1561 until 1909) indicate that the southernmost border of China ends with Hainan Island. No where does it indicate that the archipelagos of Paracel and Spratly were a part of China. This is in contrast to the ancient maps of Vietnam, which all depicted clearly that these two archipelagos were part of Vietnam.
