OK, here's a new study finding the MWP and LIA in the E China Sea:

....
Their 2,700 year SST reconstruction from the East China Sea shows a significant degree of long-term temperature variability (Figure 2). And within this variability the authors were able to identify the well-recognized climate periods of the past several millennia, including the Little Ice Age (LIA), Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Sui-Tang dynasty Warm Period (STWP), Dark Age Cool Period (DACP), and the Roman Warm period (RWP) along with the Current Warm Period (CWP) beginning in the mid-19th century.


Figure 2. Proxy sea surface temperature from the East China Sea (see text for description of acronyms). The points are 25-yr average temperatures, the solid line is a running three-point mean (from Wu et al., 2012).

As you probably pretty quickly picked out of Figure 2, the temperatures at the end of the Current Warm period (CWP), are not the highest of the entire reconstruction. In fact, there are indications that there were 25-yr periods during nearly all of the previously identified warm periods in which the reconstructed temperature exceeded the recent average.

I'll add that to this list:

OK, I could find more, but that's enough to show anyone that isn't WILLFULLY IGNORANT or pretending to be.
