As a supposedly prestigious publication, you should know that no international court awarded anything to the Philippines over the South Chiina Sea. It was an arbitration panel, attended only by the Philippines, that made the award. And an arbitration panel has no jurisdiction to rule on anything unless the parties agree to submit to its jurisdiction, and China had not.
The Arbitral Award is not a PCA ruling. It is an UNCLOS ruling. China has a right not to participate in the proceedings. Even without China’s participation, the Tribunal considered China’s position and claims, and made sure that the Philippines’ claimsare well founded in fact and law. On the other hand, China has an obligation to accept the final and binding ruling. Under UNCLOS, China’s non-participation is allowed, but non-acceptance is not.
@@katong1953 China couldn't challenge the Philippines legitimate claims. So they obviously lost, even if they did attempt to challenge in the Court of Arbitration. They didn't award the Philippines anything. They just told the facts that China is a bully thief. That's it. 😊
The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is a non-UN intergovernmental organization headquartered at the Peace Palace, in The Hague, Netherlands. Also, UNCLOS does not deal with matters of territorial disputes or to resolve issues of sovereignty, as that field is governed by rules of customary international law on the acquisition and loss of territory.
@@Uuuuukong Yeah, that's why it was very misleading. Every single South China Sea claimant nation claims more territory than their EEZ. In the graphic, it didn't show that Vietnam claims that Spratly Islands too.

The body of water known internationally as the South China Sea has different names depending on the country referring to it. In 2012, then-President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines officially named parts of the South China Sea within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as the 'West Philippine Sea.' Vietnam refers to it as the 'East Sea,' while other nations have their own terms.The primary issue is not the name, but the territorial disputes over the EEZs. Each country seeks to defend its own EEZ, while some aim to claim areas beyond their internationally recognized territories.For example, if territorial claims were based solely on the names of bodies of water, India could claim the entire Indian Ocean. This illustrates the logical fallacy in the argument that names determine territorial rights.
The Chinese sea claim is literally the whole breadth of sea area between china , vietnam and philipines. Where do they think filips would go for fishing. The coast guard activity is nothing but harassment.

Right on! Mexico does not own the Gulf of Mexico. Japan does not own the Sea of Japan, which is on its west side. Persia does not own the Persian Gulf. I could go on and on. The South China Sea is a misnomer because it was named so by a British adventurer in Borneo many centuries ago. The prehistoric peoples who crisscrossed the South China the most were the natives of the Sri Vijayan Empire, which stretch from Indonesia and Malaya, through Borneo, the south of Vietnam and the central islands of the Philippines. The South China Sea should more aptly be named the Southeast Asia Sea.
Because the Chinese have been sailing in this sea for thousands of years to Middle East, Africa, India for trade, while Pilipino natives only stuck around their island. The proof: the sea floor of South China Sea is full of ancient Chinese shipwrecks. Don't blame China, the train left station a thousand years ago. It's the goodness of China, that the Philippines were not colonized by the Chinese, the same can't be said of the Westerners.
@@brucelu4782Well that area is much closer to the philippines than China so obiously filipino fishermen can easily go there even with small boats.

China has really violated Philippine sea How can China say that the all South sea is ours, knowing that the sea is far away and close to the Philippines?

One could argue that Duterte was one of the worst presidents the Philippines had, given his reluctance to defend the nation and his focus on killing the most economically disadvantaged Filipinos, regardless of their age.
Even way before back then the Ph government can't make a proper resolve with these territorial dispute with China.

You claimed such a thing while forgetting the PNP ain't perfect. Some of its officials has ties with the drug trades and that was discovered later on. And at DDs administration, the US was against him. Why would the Ph government buy old military equipments from US when they can get new from China and Russia?

Obviously you don't understand history. China has islands in the South China Sea because its navy is weak. After 1970. It was gradually invaded and occupied by Southeast Asian countries. . The reason was the discovery of oil and gas. China was weak at that time. The navy cannot reach it. . It was only in 1976 that China struck back for the first time. Before 1970. No country has raised any objection that the South China Sea belongs to China. . You can check the maps of China before 1970 in Southeast Asian countries. . . Or you can look at the "Map of the Republic of China". That is the "Qiu Begonia" map of Taiwan

Is that enough? China has the arrogance of picking fights with every country it shares its borders. Just showing the bird will be enough to rattle the dragon?
@CNTikTok so you want the Philippines to just give up territory? What exactly are you expecting? You think Filipinos defending their own country is being "just a US colony"?
China has shown more aggression than Taiwan. Heck, Taiwan does have claims but they're more focused on their own island in recent years over the claims.
I think Taiwan's claim to the SCS is related to the One-China policy - if Taiwan rescinds its claims, China will probably interpret it as a pro-independence move, going against the One China policy. This is also the reason why even today Taiwan claims not only Mainland China, but the whole of Mongolia as well as parts of countries which border modern-day China. Hence why no one really mentions it. Although it's interesting to note that Taiwan also has an outpost on the Spratlys, which I find interesting too. Arguably, this whole problem exists because of the KMT, which used to rule mainland China and are now based in Taiwan. The KMT Government were the first to publish the 11-dash line (note the map in the video which you're referring to) before the Communists reduced it to remove claims from the Gulf of Tonkin.
You numpty because not long ago it was one government, hence the “mirroring” historical claim. Western views of this and the USA being police in the area is only to utilise the Phillipines, Vietnam etc to create division and maintain power. China will definitely share and allow everyone to develop economically as proven in most developing nations over the past 20 years. Philippines just has some odd Stockholm syndrome at the moment
@@秣陵冬 well, i think it's pretty valid since the nine dash line of china comes from a supposedly ancient map or whatever. but yeh it's just dumb either way
The Philippines became an independent country from a colony in modern times. It was just a colony before, not even a country. Where did the ancient map of the Philippines come from?
@@portalkey5283 It's being managed not with bailouts unlike the US. :) And China is dealing with it by growing another 5.3% in 2023. Poor US, losing everywhere to China, and the US keeps on sending its leaders, I mean beggars, to China. Yellen last week, Blinken now...truly a dying empire. The PH is better off negotiating a deal with China. Instead, it hangs onto the US as second fiddle. No country should allow another to have military bases on its land. Period. Unless of course, you're a pup to a master...PH, Japan, S. Korea...all puppets. The US makes the decisions for your country, not your government.
The real question here is when and where will the US (congress) define "war" to activate its mutual defense treaty with the Philippines? They can move the goal posts as often and as far as they want to avoid war until it favors them or its too late (for the Philippines).
To answer your question, Phil Pres Marcos said in one of his recent interview that the MUTUAL DEFENSE TREATY would activate once ANY PHILIPPINE PERSONEL would be KILLED IN ACTION. So basically until nobody is getting killed, rest assure that no war will ever happen.
It was already stated by the US and Philippine government after the trilateral meeting. When a Filipino got killed in Philippines EEZ. US will honor the mutual defense treaty and well come to Philippines aid.
joke. China mapped the area first, therefore it is their territory and they got to name it. if u deny this principle, US and EU has to give away most of their land and sea.
You are right. The United States dictatorship supported the Chinese dictator, anti-communist and pro-American right-wing Chiang Kai-shek occupied the South China Sea islands in 1946. then Kuomintang dictatorship drew an 11-dash line with US navy support, Therefore, the ROC dictatorship got kicked to Taiwan after 1949. but now ROC becomes liberal democracy, so can you convince Taiwan to give up 11 dash-line now?

Names are just names, nothing to do with ownership. And China does not say it belongs to it because of the name. When Chinese ships were sailing these seas, where was the Philippines?
In fact the historical reason that Chinese based on is far more long and early than the British if they claim India. Even earlier than the foundation of US.

Falkland Islands is a different story. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has invaded the piece of land, no one bothered to rectify it. It's now a territory, like how Puerto Rico is closer to other nations; still a U.S territory.
Most people, including myself, were ignorant about the facts, both historical and present. The Republic of China, or ROC, which is the current government of Taiwan, claimed the 11-dash lines, which means all the islands are Chinese territories. That was under the auspice of the Allies, i.e., the U.S., after winning WW2 against the Japanese, who occupied all those islands. In fact some of the warships used to put the markers on the islands were U.S. The People's Republic of China, or PRC, inherited these claims after winning the civil war, and the ROC retreated to Taiwan. However ROC still claims the same territories as Chinese. The Philippines was not even a country at the time.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p I only state the historical facts, but you are only expressing your opinion. Taiwan is NOT the ROC, but part of ROC, after the WW2, rather you like it or not. PRC chased ROC to Taiwan in their civil war, which is still on, but took over all the claimed territories from ROC, which includes Taiwan. This is agreed by almost ALL the countries in the world, and the UN declaration. So you can argue all you want. The only way anyone can change the reality is to have the military power to do that, just like ALL the territories of ALL the countries in the world, since ancient time. And that is why Texas, New Mexico, California, Hawaii, Guam are U.S. territories. So wake up and smell the coffee.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p "...ROC...escape to Taiwan, which was then a Japanese colony..." Just for your enlightenment, when the KMT escaped to Taiwan, it was NOT a Japanese colony. Taiwan was returned to ROC after the Japanese surrender in 1945. ROC retreated to Taiwan around 1949, which was a province under ROC.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p Read about the Cairo and Potsdam declaration first. The Japanese surrendered in 1945, thus they had no right what so ever for the land they relinquished after their defeat! San Francisco treaty is irrelevant. Therefore when KMT went to Taiwan it was Chinese territory, regardless what you wish. If the Japanese believed it was their territory then let them protest and defend it. I am not sure why you are more eager than the Japanese to make such absurd argument for them. You may want to check your brain to see what is wrong.
that is why the philippines will always stay weak.. they wont learn to strengthen themselves because they rely on US and the Treaty. philippines will be always bullied by the aggressors
That's rich when the US military violated Iraqi sovereignty and invaded it under false pretenses. Seems like the US only cares about sovereignty when it suits them.
The name "South China Sea" is recognized internationally, including in global navigation and maritime law, such as in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
First of all, the Second Thomas Shoal, called "Ayungin" in Filipino language, is WITHIN the UN-designated Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines, being less than 200 nautical miles from Palawan Island. Article 55 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea signed on Dec. 10, 1982. We are not talking about the entire South China Sea here. There are many reefs and shoals in the South China Sea that many countries want to own, but Ayungin or Second Thomas Shoal should be beyond dispute. Do you know who was one of the first countries to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982? China was one of the first to sign! Not only that, but China also ratified UNCLOS in 1996! I am just a simple Filipino student, but in my opinion people need to know the facts. I'm willing to be a fact researcher for Bloomberg.

You miss the poin there! China have to respect international laws including in the seas, which is above China's own personal expansionist greed over other countries territories! The US is probably the only bigger force around that can put China in its place!
The US is not a party to UNCLOS but wants to enforce it, China is a party to UNCLOS but does not follow it. Both are hypocrites. In a 1926 speech in Yokohama, Sun Zhongshan 孫中山 once invoked the idea of a kingly way 王道 which he contrasted to the rule by might 霸道 of European imperialism. If China is serious in its claim of a peaceful rise and earning the respect of their fellow Asians, then they should not stray from this kingly way of benevolence and not imitate the might-makes-right logic of past Western imperialism. They should follow mutually agreed upon principles of international law even when it does not favour them, not insisting on this and that as "indisputable" and still expecting others to come to the table.
*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea: - parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭, - the rest of it is the international water, - no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
because China had such claim since 600ad and internationally recognized since 1900s.

Well, no matter what happens, there are no winners in wars. It will damage both sides and it will never be undone. That's what history taught us.

The body of water known internationally as the South China Sea has different names depending on the country referring to it. In 2012, then-President Benigno Aquino III of the Philippines officially named parts of the South China Sea within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as the 'West Philippine Sea.' Vietnam refers to it as the 'East Sea,' while other nations have their own terms.The primary issue is not the name, but the territorial disputes over the EEZs. Each country seeks to defend its own EEZ, while some aim to claim areas beyond their internationally recognized territories.For example, if territorial claims were based solely on the names of bodies of water, India could claim the entire Indian Ocean. This illustrates the logical fallacy in the argument that names determine territorial rights.
I have never seen any country as arrogant as China in the East Sea. From Vietnam.
I have never seen any country as perfidious as Vietnam. Reflect on yourself first.

China: let’s claim that place as well no matter how far it is from our country
Obviously you don't understand history.
China has islands in the South China Sea because its navy is weak. After 1970. It was gradually invaded and occupied by Southeast Asian countries. .
The reason was the discovery of oil and gas. China was weak at that time. The navy cannot reach it. . It was only in 1976 that China struck back for the first time.
Before 1970. No country has raised any objection that the South China Sea belongs to China. . You can check the maps of China before 1970 in Southeast Asian countries. . .
Or you can look at the "Map of the Republic of China". That is the "Qiu Begonia" map of Taiwan

Poor logic...
Philippines is the Colonrized name,
If anyone noticed, Taiwans claims to the South China Sea mirror maintain China’s claims. Interesting to note.
因为台湾是中国的一部分，所以它当然使用中国的主张😊
The claims aren't the problem here. The methods are.
China has shown more aggression than Taiwan. Heck, Taiwan does have claims but they're more focused on their own island in recent years over the claims.
I think Taiwan's claim to the SCS is related to the One-China policy - if Taiwan rescinds its claims, China will probably interpret it as a pro-independence move, going against the One China policy. This is also the reason why even today Taiwan claims not only Mainland China, but the whole of Mongolia as well as parts of countries which border modern-day China. Hence why no one really mentions it. Although it's interesting to note that Taiwan also has an outpost on the Spratlys, which I find interesting too.
Arguably, this whole problem exists because of the KMT, which used to rule mainland China and are now based in Taiwan. The KMT Government were the first to publish the 11-dash line (note the map in the video which you're referring to) before the Communists reduced it to remove claims from the Gulf of Tonkin.
You numpty because not long ago it was one government, hence the “mirroring” historical claim. Western views of this and the USA being police in the area is only to utilise the Phillipines, Vietnam etc to create division and maintain power. China will definitely share and allow everyone to develop economically as proven in most developing nations over the past 20 years. Philippines just has some odd Stockholm syndrome at the moment

@CNTikTok chinese bot
@@DiscoverPhilippines_ Yup! Same comment on every response.
To answer your question, Phil Pres Marcos said in one of his recent interview that the MUTUAL DEFENSE TREATY would activate once ANY PHILIPPINE PERSONEL would be KILLED IN ACTION. So basically until nobody is getting killed, rest assure that no war will ever happen.
It was already stated by the US and Philippine government after the trilateral meeting. When a Filipino got killed in Philippines EEZ. US will honor the mutual defense treaty and well come to Philippines aid.
The idea that invoking the MDT automatically triggers a war is a misconception.
This, more than the Taiwan issue, could directly ignite a shooting war.

You are right.

Most people, including myself, were ignorant about the facts, both historical and present. The Republic of China, or ROC, which is the current government of Taiwan, claimed the 11-dash lines, which means all the islands are Chinese territories. That was under the auspice of the Allies, i.e., the U.S., after winning WW2 against the Japanese, who occupied all those islands. In fact some of the warships used to put the markers on the islands were U.S. The People's Republic of China, or PRC, inherited these claims after winning the civil war, and the ROC retreated to Taiwan. However ROC still claims the same territories as Chinese. The Philippines was not even a country at the time.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p I only state the historical facts, but you are only expressing your opinion. Taiwan is NOT the ROC, but part of ROC, after the WW2, rather you like it or not. PRC chased ROC to Taiwan in their civil war, which is still on, but took over all the claimed territories from ROC, which includes Taiwan. This is agreed by almost ALL the countries in the world, and the UN declaration. So you can argue all you want. The only way anyone can change the reality is to have the military power to do that, just like ALL the territories of ALL the countries in the world, since ancient time. And that is why Texas, New Mexico, California, Hawaii, Guam are U.S. territories. So wake up and smell the coffee.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p "...ROC...escape to Taiwan, which was then a Japanese colony..." Just for your enlightenment, when the KMT escaped to Taiwan, it was NOT a Japanese colony. Taiwan was returned to ROC after the Japanese surrender in 1945. ROC retreated to Taiwan around 1949, which was a province under ROC.
@user-oq1oc4qx4p Read about the Cairo and Potsdam declaration first. The Japanese surrendered in 1945, thus they had no right what so ever for the land they relinquished after their defeat! San Francisco treaty is irrelevant. Therefore when KMT went to Taiwan it was Chinese territory, regardless what you wish. If the Japanese believed it was their territory then let them protest and defend it. I am not sure why you are more eager than the Japanese to make such absurd argument for them. You may want to check your brain to see what is wrong.

First of all, the Second Thomas Shoal, called "Ayungin" in Filipino language, is WITHIN the UN-designated Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines, being less than 200 nautical miles from Palawan Island. Article 55 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea signed on Dec. 10, 1982. We are not talking about the entire South China Sea here. There are many reefs and shoals in the South China Sea that many countries want to own, but Ayungin or Second Thomas Shoal should be beyond dispute. Do you know who was one of the first countries to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982? China was one of the first to sign! Not only that, but China also ratified UNCLOS in 1996! I am just a simple Filipino student, but in my opinion people need to know the facts. I'm willing to be a fact researcher for Bloomberg.

The US is not a party to UNCLOS but wants to enforce it, China is a party to UNCLOS but does not follow it. Both are hypocrites.
In a 1926 speech in Yokohama, Sun Zhongshan 孫中山 once invoked the idea of a kingly way 王道 which he contrasted to the rule by might 霸道 of European imperialism. If China is serious in its claim of a peaceful rise and earning the respect of their fellow Asians, then they should not stray from this kingly way of benevolence and not imitate the might-makes-right logic of past Western imperialism. They should follow mutually agreed upon principles of international law even when it does not favour them, not insisting on this and that as "indisputable" and still expecting others to come to the table.
*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
because China had such claim since 600ad and internationally recognized since 1900s. China mapped the area first way before those tribes in the area became nationstate or independent, therefore it is their territory and they got to name it. if u deny this principle, US and EU are more obligated to give back away most of their land and oversea islands.
That is modern international law. China prefers to refer to the historical international law, the more reliable benchmark

So a war over rocks and reefs is not a wise move indeed. Hopefully both sides can still manage to talk and calm their emotions during this intense heat in the region. Peace!

And how many bases does America have in the South China sea?? How many bases in Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Guam, etc. And what is America doing there? You don't see Chinese bases encircling America.
How about vietnam what did China respect its maritime rights?
Well reported.all the right for the Philippines.
joke. China mapped the area first way before those tribes in the area became nationstate or independent, therefore it is their territory and they got to name it. if u deny this principle, US and EU are more obligated to give back away most of their land and sea.

1st rule of sovereignty is whether or not you can defend your claims.
“There is no in-between, no intermediate state: either a country is sovereign, or it is a colony, no matter what the colonies are called. And a colony has no historical prospects. If a country is not able to make sovereign decisions - it's a colony.“ - V. Putin
now its 11 🤣🤣
We Filipino people will fight for our sovereignty whatever it takes. The Philippine sea is ours, not china
Fight with what equipment? Bad words and angry fists?
How did China became so powerful in the first place? Yes it was investment from US and EU. Now they are blaming China for being too powerful.
No, it was not investment from US and EU. It was the hard work of the Chinese people and the foresight of the Communist Party. US /EU / Japan was too busy exploiting China, and the Communist Party put an end to it.
USA and lackey UK are rotting from inside. Illegal Immigrants, BLM, LGBTQ+/- etc. Neither Russia nor China have these detriments. They will grow stronger. At some point USA will be pushed out of Asia. European occupiers of Australia / New Zealand will be sent back home.
Things are changing for the better. Get used to it.
Yes the corrupt western leaders has giving away their people wealth, not just to china, but all of the world. They simple dont care about their citizen. And this is a conflict that do not involve west, and if west gets involved it only hurt their people, but as said they dont care about their own people. West should let other countries solve their own conflicts and issues, it is not a issue for us, and we should stop all kinds of aids and outsourcing etc.
The South china sea should be renamed to something that does not contain the word china so the chinese don't get these weird idea that it all belongs to them.

China's defense of its national sovereignty is undoubtedly just! On the contrary, if the Philippines continues to occupy Chinese territory, their legitimacy will be questioned, and China has no room for compromise! I hope the Philippines can return to the era of peaceful coexistence before, instead of constantly sending ships to harass!
China has been a paper tiger for ages. But their population is so large. And there may be growing pains as the country bursts as the seams.

Seperti yang dikatakan menteri pertahanan indonesia dan presiden terpilih indonesia 2024, "Jika kau mendambakan perdamaian, bersiap-siaplah menghadapi perang" itulah kenapa indonesia melakukan belanja alutsista besar-besaran dan terus menerus memodernisasi alutsistanya, dari mulai pesawat jet, kapal perang, rudal pertahanan udara maupun radar, karna indonesia tahu bahwa kedepannya konflik yg akan terjadi adalah laut china selatan, dan untuk negara-negara ASEAN bersatulah dan pastikan antar negara saling mendukung, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam adalah jangkar di negara ASEAN untuk menghadapi serangan dari pihak luar ASEAN, perkuatlah pertahanan negara masing-masing dan buat fakta pertahanan seperti NATO, jika ada satu negara di ASEAN yang diserang maka seluruh negara-negara bagian dari ASEAN akan ikut berperang, dengan begitu harapannya negara-negara di ASEAN tidak dipandang remeh, tidak seperti di negara-negara arab yang tidak saling membantu.
No to fake news, stop using SCS, it should be WEST PHILIPPINE SEA, Its in our territory.

When you keep calling it South China Sea, you are giving China something they can NEVER Have....
South-East Asia Seas is the Right Description.
We already call it the "West Philippine Sea", while the sea that is located east of the Philippines is already called the Philippine sea.
@@mitjed Vietname disagreed. It's "East Vietnam Sea."
That headline should read; 'Why The US Could Spark A War In South China Sea.'
Or rather, West Philippine Sea
It won’t be a problem if The US don’t get involved.
The territory of the Philippines is defined by the Treaty of Paris of 1898, the Treaty of Dissection of 1900, and the Boundary Treaty of 1930. The territory of the Philippines was defined by the Treaty of Paris and the Treaty of the Philippine Territory and Cutoff, signed in Paris in 1898 and 1900 between the United States and Spain. Philippine territory was further defined when the United States signed the final treaty with Britain in 1930 known as the Boundaries/Washington Declaration. The 1898 Treaty of Paris signed by the Americans and Spanish made it clear that the western boundary of the Philippine Islands did not include the Spratly Islands. The United States gave Philippine independence to the Filipinos in 1946. Maps of the Philippines are drawn with polygons to strictly define its territory and have been released to the world for decades.

The same case for China wondering why Vietnam, being a fellow communist country, fighting against China in Vietnam’s EEZ. 😂😂😂
China is now being surrounded by angry neighbours from all directions except North, it’s a matter of time till China launch a war against a certain country (more like with Philippines than Taiwan).
@@shawn5310 haha look at Vietnam now. Fully of excuses the reason is China is greedy for resources. Philippines removed the US bases after the fall of soviet union. Vietnam has no US base. Both are bullied by China. So its isn't really about the bases. The new bases in the Philippines are recent events before Marcos presidency their is no such thing.
In reality,💡 if China will be successful on its 9 dash line - it will denote a very weak international Law, USA & the West are already weak, disruption on East Asian trade to the world, the Philippines and ASEAN are weak, others.. 💔
