One of these claims is compatible with UNCLOS, the other absolutely is not. The US pulls plenty of international dickery, including not ratifying UNCLOS, but this claim fits within that existing international law just fine

Except it's not really compatible with UNCLOS.

The US interpretation of UNCLOS would allow them to claim like half the Pacific

What do you think isn't in line with it? This isn't an exclusive economic zone claim.
