Dear Colleagues,
Another straight baselines oddity has occurred to me which I'd like to
share with you.
I believe that the PRC's straight baselines enclose the Taiwanese islands
of Ma-tsu and Quemoy. Of course, Taiwan isn't an independent state (at
least according to Beijing!) but its showing signs of heading in that
direction and there may well be security and access issues in any case.
All the best,
Clive
