On the other hand, China had an interest in minimizing the impact that the island would have on any agreed delimitation. This could be done by either arguing that Bach Long Vi was not an island in accordance with the provisions of UNCLOS or by arguing that its impact should be minimized and possibly even be disregarded.¹⁷ For China to argue that it was only a “rock” and so was incapable of generating EEZ and continental shelf claims would have been counterproductive, as China had earlier controlled the island and had claimed that the island was inhabited before it was handed-over to Vietnam in the late 1950s.¹⁸ An analysis of the agreed boundary line show that Bach Long Vi was given only a reduced effect on the course of the delimitation process. Bach Long Vi was eventually given rights over 15 nm from the island. In terms of division of the whole Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam obtained 53.23 percent while China obtained 46.77 percent.¹⁹",
