Unfortunately, very little is known about this dispute and its settlement.³ ³ See Li Dechao, "Bailongwei dao zhengming" [Rectification of White Dragon Tail Island's Name], Zhongguo bianjiang shidi yanjiu baogao, vols. 1-2, no. 3 (1988): 21-23; Mao Zhenfa, ed., Bianfang lun [On Frontier Defense] (Beijing: Junshi kexue chubanshe [internal circulation], 1996), 137. en Pavneet Singh India's Act East Policy, RCEP Diplomacy and Stand on South China Sea Dispute International Relations https://archive.org/details/indias-relationss-part-3/ 314 https://archive.org/details/indias-relationss-part-3/page/314/ In 1957, China ceded Bailongwei island to Hanoi.
