		Sulu -Chinese relations revolved around a lucrative barter trade system of local products and Chinese goods, whick were loaded on Junks, or tung-yangs from the Middle Kingdom and unloaded on the beaches of Jolo and left there until claimed by their owners.

		History does record clearly that, in 1703, the sultan was ceded the area by his relative, the sultan of Brunei, in exchange for assistance in putting down an internal revolt within the sultanate of Brunei.
		Nor is this history, or the fate of His Highness the Sultan, altered one jot by the fact that, both in 1906 and in 1920, the United States formally reminded Great Britain that North Borneo did not belong to the Crown and was still part of the Sultanate of Sulu.
		But the sultan of Sulu nurses the suspicion that all Filipino governments, from Marcos through Aquino and Ramos to Estrada, have been "bought" by Kuala Lumpur and have deliberately permitted the Philippines' claim to languish until it has paled almost to extinction.
