US History.org ("owned by the Independence Hall Association in Philadelphia, founded 1942") says China is a continuous 7,000-year-old civilization. This means China's discovery and claim of Huangyan Island (aka Scarborough Shoal) in the year 1279 by Chinese astronomer/scientist Guo Shijing is still in effect. Huangyan Island/Scarborough Shoal has been Chinese territory for 736 years.
