The concept and present state of Israel is not based on "that" kind of history, it's origin is based on the biblical version of history; the God version. And since most westerners culture are derivative of Jewish roots a.k.a. Judeo-Christian lineage they will readily accept that version as the only legitimate or even legal document for Jewish to have as proof of claim. But the same argument is embarrassingly lost when Chinese historical claims are used when it comes to her dispute in the S.C.S. with competing claimants like the Philippines for example, the island nation who simply didn't exist as an entity/country during the Ming dynasty. The island itself was "founded" by a Portuguese explorer named Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 and "Christened" the island as Felipinas after the King of Spain, Felipe.
The whole international law is absurd since most of these laws were written by these colonial p..s during China's weakest state. There's no consistency when it comes to enforcing, adhering to any of these laws, because in my opinion it's all a joke. The only law that most countries and people respect and adhere to is the law of the jungle. The strong survives, and the strongest carve and make the laws in which the subdued are kowtowed to abide and follow. The rest are simply done for window dressing.
I think the king of the Philippines made a pilgrimage to Beijing during the YongLe 永乐 era(1403~1424).

He is Muslim king of Sulu which is today Mindanao. He went for tributary trade to China but got sick and died in China then his entourage split some went back to Sulu some stay in China to guard his tomb
But he was not the King of the whole archipelago. The Philippines after all is composed of well over 7,000 islands depending on the tide. That place was basically ran by different tribes or chieftains. For example, Ferdinand Magellan the explorer was killed in Mactan, the island of Cebu by a warrior chieftain called Lapu-Lapu? Also, Islam has been in the Philippines far longer than Roman Catholic religion especially in the most southern part of the islands.

Looks like they disabled comments on this? Wouldn’t load for me.
If you read the comments on that video, one of the few intelligent commentators mentioned that the Sultan (Chieftain) did not represent the "Philippines" but rather the island of "Tausug" because there's no Philippines at the time as I mentioned earlier.
