The White Paper claims that Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratlys) were already and fully part of Vietnamese territory. The Hoang Sa archipelago and some of the Truong Sa Islands have temporarily been invaded by troops of the People's Republic of China in January, 1974. But these insular territories will live for ever in Vietnamese hearts and will some day be restored to the Fatherland. The Republic of Vietnam resolutely demands that all portions of her territory that are illegally occupied be restored to Vietnamese sovereignty.
