The actual existence of an undersea rock which is only even charted because it's a navigational hazard is beside the point. Still not a territorial dispute, in my book.

As far as I could see in the various articles on the subject, China hasn't made any territorial claims. China may be making some rather dubious assertions about its EEZ in the area, but I'm fairly sure there's some mischaracterizing going on here. After all, as far as I've ever heard, a submerged rock isn't exactly something that can be claimed as territory. (And if it is, I call dibs on the Great Barrier Reef) I have the feeling that there's some sort of mischaracterization going on in the media here.
