200 nm from mainlands only is correct
The EEZ shown in reference http://www.seaaroundus.org/data/#/eez/704?chart=catch-chart&dimension=taxon&measure=tonnage&limit=10 is incorrect, showing projection from Paracels and Spratlys to midlines, which is not advocated by any of the countries on the sea.

https://www.marineregions.org/eezdetails.php?mrgid=8484 used to show a similar map, but has corrected to show 200 mile projection from mainlands only, and show the center region of the sea beyond 200 miles as a disputed region. Malaysia and Vietnam introduced this in their 2009 CLCS submissions #33 and #37 at https://www.un.org/Depts/los/clcs_new/commission_submissions.htm, Brunei accepts it, and the 2016 Philippines v. China UNCLOS arbitration endorsed it, putting all non-China claimants in agreement on mainland projection only. China on the other hand has still not proposed any EEZ demarcation lines of any scheme. --JWB (talk) 17:04, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
