any similarities with reefs in the S China Sea is purely co-incidental.............
The UK hasn't used Rockall to aggressively extend its EEZ in the way that China has extended its claims to just about the whole of the South China see.
So there isn't much similarity and therefore not much that can be coicidental.
Of course the UK could learn a lesson and follow China's lead and extend it's EEZ across the North Sea to the continent - out to the shores of Iceland and the RoI - and then into the Baltic.
