Jurisdiction of the arbitration court is not the issue. The issue is that China's "historical" claims to sovereignty over the South China Sea were examined and were determined to be unfounded.
Beijing is known for doing invasion little by little like their strategy in Hongkong by introducing CCP law.Apart from this is contested area of West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.What the CCP did was using militia as fishermen and occupy the Mischief Reef which they said to be safe haven for fishermen but later it turned to be permanent structure ,which is a few Kilometers from the nearest shore of the country Philippines.Its man made island and the bullying tactics for Asean fishermen who treated them with arrogance from the its navy.The occupation of Chinese is 100% illegal,its Nine Dash Line was only created in the year 1947 has no basis in International law.The sea is Asean’s traditional fishing ground since ancient times unlike China who is very far away from the sea she wants to steal.It is a clear violation of UNCLOS who also a member of the said organization.Plus the Arbitration tribunal rules in favor of the Philippines and not the Nine Dash Line of the CCP because it is common how that far encompasses claim that left few kilometers to the shore of another claimant countries.This is greedy attempt to steal another land.Under Unclos China has no basis to be there ‘You are illegal alien that wants only to poach the area including its natural resources.It is shameful that you want to own the area only by force and arrogance.
The issue here is about China and the Philippines and it's not about the U.S., The Chinese are harassing our Filipino fishermen and Vietnamese fishermen as well. Chinese took the Coral Reefs and build artificial Island which is illegal and it's inside our 200 EEZ. We've been knocking several times and talk to them regarding the issues but it's been ignored by them,So in order to get this Chinese attention is to go and complain on UNCLOS. Actually this issues and happenings is all about the U.S. and China why? Chinese in the first place expanding their militaries and showing their force and of course US will react. After ww2 there's no issues around there at SCS every countries can sail and fish around there except our 200 EEZ. Maybe this Chinese is running out of food, expanding or show off their STOLEN TECHNOLOGY.
not so true. China was the one who wanted to talk, but your stupid former president Benigno Aquino III rejected to negotiate, and he lied to all of Filipinos. Now let's see who will benefits from this mess.
+Joshua Feng Your wrong...Look around you..You started this...Harassing our fishermen and we're not the only one but also the Vietnamese fishermen as well,you building artificial land on our Island which is inside our 200 EEZ, that 9 dash line? who in force that? Look how far away from your country. We have our new President so I hope this will resolve peacefully.
+Joshua Feng I know your going to brought US in this discussion but this issues is between China and Philippines. Yes we are Allied with the US since the 1800 but it doesn't mean that they are telling us what to do. Just to let you know 1993 US Bases was out in our Territory just to let you know that we don't need war and we want Peace and Stability on our country. The reason why the US reacted is because first You took and build artificial land on our which is inside 200 EEZ and first you flashing your military around that area and saying telling us about 9 dash line,you cannot get all of SCS by grabbing and build just like that .Imagine without a law ..what will happen on our surroundings. Sorry that's how it goes ..after ww2 we ALL but some sign around that area on UNCLOS including China so you guys comply regardless.
When China knew it is going to court on the ownership of the islands, China did not prepare a defense team nor substantial proof to the islands, except for the bull that they were part of Chinese history. If the defense team do not go to court, they forfeit or claim no contest for the claims. China ignored legal ruling and then said that any claims to the islands can be held in China's court system. Hello? China is a claimant too. You need an outsider as an arbitrator to decide fairly. Since the islands are closest to the Philipines and based on the international waters laws, the islands belong Ito the Philipines. Don't come to my front door and claim my front yard belongs to you, unless you want some a$$-kicking, you thief! Stop telling us you want transparency and peace when you invaded, China.
China is diamond headed ... remember Tibet. The rise of China megalomaniac empire!

The North America belongs to the Red Indians , not the White Europeans, since the ancient time, and so are Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Quando , etc .-Do you know that ? Dummy !
You cannot just build an island in international waters and then claim the sea around it. They are called international waters for a reason. And this reason is they don't belong to ANY country. They are INTER-national, that is by definition they are supposed to separate sovereign territories.
This was not the international Waters this is the West Philippines seas it is within its EEZ Zone of 200 miles. China is manipulating the facts and deceiving the international community!
@@josephsadowski4532 This is SCS. West philipines sea is stated clearly in the philipines independence treaty sign in spain. China had terra nullius to SCS islands thousands of yrs ago right up to japans return after ww2 in the sino japan peace treaty. The surrounding waters was claim in the UN prior to unclos with approval of usa past president and the international community. Marcos violate the 2 said treaties and chinas UN claim to invade into chinas spratly and made constitutional amendments to include as philipines territory. Thats an act of war.
@@LeeSkJohn-sv8wi You are so right which gives china no foot hold to build in or on Philippines territory making this belonging to only the Philippines, Yes we know this and I support this statement too! China just up and stole what belongs to the Philippines! this is an Act of War against the Philippines Nation, You will notice one interesting point, When the decision came down and Duterte was in Office he had one obligation to enforce the Defense treaty with the United States, and that was to send or Hand over a notice to vacate Philippines territory and after that an Eviction notice was necessary by Law which would have invoked the Defense treaty Except we all know Duterte Sold out the Philippines for a few silver coins and allowed China to continue to build on Philippines soil! so the real problem now falls in the hands of Duterte as he had to sell out the Philippin es knowing as a Lawyer exactly what he had to do to turn china off, Except Duterte Did not one thing, so we all lose because Of President Duterte himself for selling out the citizens of this country, Duterte is a Muslim an nothing you or I can do to assist the Philippines in getting out china from the Philippines, If the Vice president was in power she would go through the motions to evict China
The world is ran out of land, who ever can make land out of the water can claim it as it own. Making land out the sea should be count as human greatest achievement. I hope some day somebody make and island out in the middle of Pacific and Atlantic and claim as his or her so I can enjoy with him/ her.
@@josephsadowski4532 go read ur independence treaty territorial limit amd sino japan peace treaty again. Spratlies is never urs. I dont know how u interprete english. Usa once warn u that spratly is not urs. How to invoke defence treaty when it does not belong to u. Its an invasion and usa is not obligated in this treaty. Now usa unilaterally said its internatiinal water. That means not belonging to philipines too. They wanted the oil too U weak country wanted to rob china. U are lucky its china. If its the west they will immediately wage a war like in falkland.
who was the chief judge who hand picked the panel of judges on the ruling in The Hague, seek & you will find. thanks Liuxin, all facts revealed thru CGTN.
A island made out of the water should be a Unesco world heritage site. The world need to respect whom ever made that greatest human achievement. We got so much water with so little land.
The difference between US territories such as Guam and your so called territory is that the International community recognizes these territories as US territories, with no other claimants. They have the right to put their military there. Chinese territorial claims are not recognized by the majority of the international community, as well as being claimed by other nations. You cannot just put your military to a territory that is claimed by other nation, such actions are not only reckless, but also create tension in the region. The majority of Asian countries have already recognized the UNCLOS ruling in the Hague, Only China and a few other countries do not see it as such. If you claimed a territory that is being claimed by other countries, and you forcefully restrict their rights, you are not only seen as a bully, but also perceived as a powerful, unstable state that will do anything to expand their territories. An expansionist country will always be a cause for concern for every nation.
china's claim is not even supported by its own history and old maps, just the usual ALIBABA chinese culture, china navy do not even know in early 30's where the hell SPRATLYS is
you can not even see Taiwan in old china maps, but you can see Taiwan (Formosa) in old/ ancient Philippine maps, china's tactic is giving an area chinese name then later claim it as their own historically
USA is in Syria right now, no one invited them and they are violating syrias sovereignty and not only that, but actually killing people and funding and arming a civil war and paying mercenaries from around the world to try and topple Assad. America can't talk. China is only building islands on what it considers its own territory, same as Phillipines, same as Japan, same as Vietnam who has the most islands in SCS. And the US isnt even a signatory to UNCLOS, so what is it even talking about saying to respect UNCLOS lol
I suppose if China first attacked and killed all opponents as the US does, then everyone would "recognize " them as legitimate. Like US being in Syria is legitimate. America go home and give peace a chance.
tweet: Guam is not part of the United States. The U.S. has a hold of Guam as a territory, but Guam isn't part of the United States in its entirety - America has 50 states - that's it!
The so-called award issued by the arbitral tribunal for the South China Sea arbitration "has no meaning beyond a piece of paper", said Martin Jacques, a renowned British scholar on Asian issues. Jacques made the remarks in a recent interview with China Central Television (CCTV) in light of the tribunal's decision on Tuesday that denied China's long-standing historic rights in the South China Sea. "The difficulty here is that the corpus of international law is western law. So that's built up over, especially since the Second World War, but before that as well. And the Chinese position is very different. It's historic claims," said Jacques. Jacques explained that as the West had shaped and written the international maritime law, it has been accepted as the order, adding that it reflects the western domination over a long historic period. While he believes this is coming to an end, it is going to take a long time. From Jacques' perspective, it has been much tougher for China since 2010 when the United States became more involved in East Asia. He said the U.S. has tried to offer a voice in these disputes for claimant countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The scholar believes that dialogue between China and other countries is the best way to solve the disputes.
So China believes that since they invested the time effort and money to "develop" islands in the South China Seas and the Spratly Islands, then it rightfully belongs to them. So what if the US, or Japan, or Australia, or some other country, built man-made islands 20 miles off the coast of China? Could we then claim that since we developed the islands, it belongs to us? Would China accept American islands 20 miles off their shores? Could we also claim the oil and gas resources within 200 miles of those man-made artificial islands? Would China be okay with that? Or what if the US and other countries started building man-made islands in the South China Seas, next to China's man-made islands, and then claim natural resources near those islands. Would China be okay with that? I don't think so.
RedRider1600 then they'll take diaol yu island and start building and work their way up on those island chains. They have the money, technology, man power to work fast, hell, they can do it all day long while Japanese or u.s govt have to fight for a budget that would allow them to do something like that that isn't even economically sustainable for them.
+Clause Exile You are missing the point, moron. By the way, China is in worse debt than the US. Their spectacular growth has been shrinking for the last 9 years. Chinese labor has gotten too expensive. Foreign companies and Chinese companies are both moving out of China to cheaper labor markets like Vietnam, India, Indonesia, The Philippines, etc. China's economy and spending spree paid for by debt is unsustainable. China is still one of the poorest countries in the world. The average Chinese make HALF as much as an American teenager flipping burgers at McDonald's for minimum wage. A quarter of the population still lives in 3rd world poverty. You are an ignorant moron.
May I point out a few facts for your review.: 1) During the 2nd W W, Japan invaded & occupied most Chinese coastal cities including all the islands in the South China Sea and the Philippines. 2) When Japan surrendered, America regained control of the Philippines only, as a colony. 3) At the same time, American gun-boats ferried Chinese soldiers to all these islands in S. China Sea to restore Chinese sovereignty from the occupying Japanese. Some of those islands are named after those US gun-boats ever since. 4) All the maps were drawn by the US Government before 1975 clearly marked these islands belonged to China. 5) For thousands of years, only China has laid claim to these islands until oil was found in 1975. These are facts and history.
If China does not agree on the International Tribunal Arbitration Ruling. It is abuse of being a big Country to engage recklessnes in claiming the China just because it is named in the Map, China Sea to identify the big and wide Sea, but it is not the property of China the Maritime Law is 200 nautical miles from its country shore line, the Right of Souverenity for its economic resources.
You lie like an asshole; Malaysia is only 62 years old country. The East Indian & Sri Lankan & Chinese were here first. The Malay is Chindian halfbreed. The first India Cholas prince came to northern peninsula started the Langkasuka Empire. The first sultan of Malacca is Indian descent name Parameswara also Sang Nila Utama from Sumatra. He was crown sultan by the Ming Empire through Admiral Ong Sam Poh @ Zheng He @ Al Ma He a Muslim eunuch working under the crown prince of Ming dynasty. Zheng He help him with one condition that is become a Muslim and marry Hang Li Poh a muslim consort girl of the Ming Court he agreed and become Sultan Iskandar Shah. That is how Islam came to Malacca a now Malaysia. The British cheat the lazy descendant of Iskandar Shah and put proxy Sultan after killing many descendant of Iskandar Shah who are ruling many state. Malaysia only form after independence from British in 1957 with the uniting of 13 states.
Coral Sea Thered no polynesians inhabitant there but china stone markers there. Your polynesians islands is now robbed by west all over the pacific. Go fight and see what they do to you.
what a joke ,MADE IN CHINA HISTORY , Malay and Polynesians have been navigating the high seas long before the chinese even learned to build small boats !
The people of guam wanted to become a part of US....so the US can legally annex the island because Its people gave its consent to the US. Now, in the case of the spratly islands, There are no permanent inhabitants on the islands, Most of them are shoals which are not islands but are part of the sea bed... No country can claim a sea without measuring first the distance from an island that supports human habitation independently. The UNCLOS ruled that all the features in spratlys are all low tide elevation and rocks which means they are not entitled to a 200 nautical miles EEZ. These means that even if china owns all the rocks in the south china sea, those features will only get 12 nautical miles of territorial sea but beyond that 12 nautical miles will be the EEZ of the philippines. okay? It also means china HAs No right to claim scarborough shoal because it not an island.
EVERY TALK IS JUST DIVERTING THE RULES AND TELLING OF HOW STRONG IS THEIR ARSENAL AND HOW STRONG CHINESE ECONOMICAL PROGRESS IS... AND FORGET THE RULES OR LAW.
Let's forget Hague,USA,EU,Japan or other powerful countries. Just look at the 9dash line that chinese government claimed and the build some military bases,,,for what,,,to kill a fishermen? It's so obvious that the chinese govt. think that the only people who sailed and fished on south china sea are only chinese. How about the Malayan,vietnamese,Indonesian and filipinos,,,do you think they just stayed there at the beach and stared at the chinese fishermen? It is so ridiculous because the polenesia sailed many many years before, How about if the Philippine,Malasia,Indonesia and Australia close their sea borders,,,what will the chinese do,,they will use military forces? Do you think South east asian people will not fight back?
China's policy toward South China Sea since Deng Xiaoping is "lay the disputes aside and exploit together". China has a long historical relationship with SCS: King of Nanyue (predecessor of Vitenam, a part of China till 939AD, Vietnamese: Nhà Triệu) Zhao Tuo (a Han Chinese 240BC-137BC, Vietnamese: Triệu Đà) administrated northern part of SCS. 1972 unearthed Mawangdui Han Tombs extracted some maps with SC Sea. "Book of Later Han" wrote between 432AD and 445AD has chapters about SCS. Various later historical documents describe SCS. The most famous event for Chinese to explore South China S is "Zheng He's Voyages". Zheng He (1371-1433 or 1435), formerly romanized as Cheng Ho, was a Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat, fleet admiral, and court eunuch during China's early Ming dynasty. He was originally born as Ma He in a Muslim family, later adopted the conferred surname Zheng from Emperor Yongle. Zheng commanded expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433. His larger ships stretched 120 meters or more in length. These carried hundreds of sailors on four tiers of decks. South China sea is very important "belt" for old Chinese's trade route. "China" as porcelain can be found in many places on land or under water along the old "belt" trade route. If you think China should claim a small part of SCS then China can get peace with other countries? Which small part? If we claim small part of SCS, it is not reasonable. In the ancient time, Chinese ancestor's activity/navigation is not restricted to a small part or to a fixed sea route. Most islands or coral reef are claimed after WW2, or after WW1. But Chinese has relationship with SCS is 1500 years earlier than most of the claims.
Highseas and international waters are the same thing. what do you mean US coined "international waters" to violate other countries' sovereingty? that doesn't make sense!. Highseas and international waters both refer to seas which are not under any country's jurisdiction. or free seas..any country can sail on these seas
Chaina has morden 10000yers sevilaization hestory so saout chaina sea is belong to chaina .infact philepine, vetnam is also belong to Great Chaina. Chaina is a country that help all countries all of the world CHAINA is a soper power in ouer Asia we Shoud proud of
South China Sea does not mean that that body of water or sea is a territory of China The country China is only used as reference that such body of water is located south of China. No Maritime Law or International Law or UNCLOS has defined that such body of water is clearly a territory of China. So why China is telling to the whole world that such area is their territory? Are they not ashamed of such lies? They are putting themselves in great mistake. China has no jurisdiction or sovereignty in that particular area because it is very far from their country.
Xi jinping is a liar man he want peace and to be a friend. But in the end he will attack you at your back. Xi jinping is double faces this is his a greedy ambition. He has a big mouth but is indeed his coward man.
Fisher Smith china destroyed the coral reefs that Filipinos treated it as a treasure under water bcoz its the home for any kind of fish , china wants to destroy every reef in South China Sea that over claiming the parts of other countries economic zone . China is bad can not be trusted country . They are slowly crawling to claim which is not theirs ! Thieves !!!!!
I have been listening to the purpose of questions been asked, and what the intensions behind them, have had made me believe that the man is only trying to thow the Chinese off in asking questions that were only for the favored of America's dreams but they're clearly not for the world's rights and peace! As a matter of fact even the people who predicted wars about today's knew exactly what was going on then and how things were being conducted; It was all about control and just like he answered, it was easy then but not now. No details needed. "Use common sense"
how dare you talking international law, you don't even respect international tribunal.china angry becoz US going on West Philippines sea.my question, are Chinese respect territorial waters of Philippines.
Scs belongs to China since ancient times right up to present times after ww2 when Japan renounce back scs islands to china in the sinojapan treaty obligated by Potsdam and Cairo declaration. China then claim the surrounding sea as 11 dash in 1947 prior to unclos. China had ratified unclos with reservation to protect their historical right which includes the scs. Asean countries that illegally annexing china spratlies is an act of war.
This could be the good outcome. USA wins over the South China sea war. Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Hong Kong are liberated. Dalai Lama returns to Tibet to enjoy his retirement. Xinjiang & Hong Kong become republic. Mongolia united as one.
The UN court has declared a 12 n/mile territorial zone and a 200 n/mile EEZ. It doesn't matter about history. All previous claims are invalid. China, if she owned the SCS, has now lost it by international law, and the legitimate claimants within their EEZ of the SCS are Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam. They are now the rightful occupiers. China lost it, and the only way China can get it back is by winning it in a war,,,, but with such, China will have to fight at least 20 nations. Do China want to be beaten in a war? does China want to lose all those countries as customers? China, apart from NK, all other nations distrust you because of your obscene claim in the SCS. Do yourself a favour and retract from the legitimate claimants EEZ.

China is rich and powerful dwarfing the phillippines ability to oppose china. USA is the only country that phillippines feel will do something about it. But china made islands and harass the filipinos fisherman and USA did not do anything to help the filipinos. They had no choice but to be friendly with china to save the day.
stop this nonsence, we may start a spark that may result in a catastrophic event, let Ph gov and China gov deal with this matter, what ever the result is, we're ready to defend our countries, thats the role of the citizens
Well, China is claiming the international water that circulates about 5 trillions dollars, and what China is doing will hurt the economy of many countries that belong/have trading in South China sea. The Chinese government is in fault at this part, because the 200 EEZ is something every country in the world has agreed upon. U.S has 100+ bases in other countries, because those countries are allied to the U.S, and they allowed the U.S to put its military bases on their soil as a proof of the U.S's commitment to up hold the alliance. anything else you want to ask ? Also, lots of Chinese people call the U.S government a hypocrite, but the problem is that China is acting the same as the U.S while claiming itself as not greedy as U.S. If you have to be perfect to criticize some one else, the U.S wouldn't have stepped into the second World war, and China would still being fucked by Imperial Japan, and the Europe would be under the Third Reich right now. It is all because just like Nazi, the U.S has concentration camp for Japanese citizens living in the U.S during war time, see my point ?
So ? If the U.S didn't use the nuclear bombs, China would still be fucked by Imperial Japan right now. And now the best you can bring to criticize the U.S is nuclear weapon ? Wow, just wow dude.
Hao Dong And how ? Just one embargo, and China will be screwed. Its economy is not stable thanks to those "wise leaders" CCP. China is taking profit base on 2 things: export to other ASEAN nations, and manufacturing goods for the Westerns nations. If an embargo is put on China for aggressive expansion, the Western world will not be hurt that much, because China tried to boycott their goods long time ago in favor for local goods, causing unfair trades between local and foreign trading. On the other hand, China will not be able to export its products to ASEAN countries, because: 1) It has been embargoed. 2) ASEAN nations, with the hatred for the 9-dash line claim, and the U.S backing them, will not give China a favorable trade deal like before, causing China to lose its influence in the region. Chinese people keep saying " without us, you won't have any product to use, hahaha", well, it's quite the oposite, India can actually replace China, and it will not have competition in ASEA if China is embargoed. Also, most Western nations has followed "globalism" and have their products manufactured in multiple sources, like Middle East, South America, South East Asian, so it's not like the old day when China is the only provider anymore.
China is occupier those islands are belongs to nearest countries China people it is necessary to get down cruel dictator from president of China all of you meet at tianmen square take vow to get down the dictator due to unusual mindset you may face so many problems
Believe it or not, China and Philippine will be one country after hundreds years.We shouldn't argue with each others, it is useless. Filipino, it is a very good chance to build a tight relationship with Chinese, improve your economics, Think about it, what will be brought to Filipino in the conflict with Chinese.
We're big, You're small. You're weak, we're strong. All the riches for us and none for you. We will take what we want and there's nothing you can do about it. Well now, isn't that an admirable bully!
China has no Balls, China is acting like a bully now with the United States, China could never win and CHina is and are cowards china is playing the game of Manipulation and deception for the International community to believe that china is strong enough but china will get more then 2 Bomb on its main land and will lose all its aircraft carriers and a Lot of their ships, the time is close and we are waiting for China's Big move on out US Navy or shores China is calling out the US because it wants other people to believe they can do a job they have no will power to do as if they did have that will power they would already have started this without any further mouthing off calling out the United States. China is going down and it will go down hard as China has to reduce its population of 1.4 Billion souls, fast as they cannot afford to feed its own people as china is depleting the West Philippines seas from all its wild sea life. China is in Deep trouble. China has depleted all of the South china sea well known as the Asian seas.
ok ? explain to me about India sea, or the Gulf of Mexico then. Because I'm sure as hell Mexico and India didn't claim it as their own just because the area was named after their countries. On the other hand, I can explain thoroughly to you why it was called South China sea ( hint: it's not because it belongs to China)
Lee Sk John u will never win small eyes chinese .. the best imitators and fake and poor quality priduct yuk maki h fake rice egg you have no credibility and .. the world never respect you chinese world will fight against china..
Heres a simple example look at the Philippines Sea Does it mean that It was name under the Philippines Name and the Philippines owns that (area)Sea? the answer is NO! Look at The Indian Ocean Does it mean they name Indian Ocean They Own Sri Lanka Seas Of course No! Does It mean that because it was name South China Sea. Then China Own South China Sea. the answer is NO! Chinese people try to read The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) its say every coastal country has exclusive rights to the oil, gas, and other resources in the seabed up to 200 nautical miles from shore or to the outer edge of the continental margin, whichever is the further, subject to an overall limit of 350 nautical miles (650 km) from the coast or 100 nautical miles (185 km) beyond the 2,500-metre isobath (a line connnecting equal points of water depth). Legally, this area is known as the continental shelf, though it differs considerably from the geological definition of the continental shelf. Where the territorial waters, EEZs, or continental shelves of neighbouring countries overlap, a boundary line must be drawn by agreement to achieve an equitable solution.) The Fact China is Building Artificial Islands inside this Countries Territory and So Close to the Land of Philippines. Inside the Economic Zone. The Problems is China knows That they dont own this whole south China sea but only part of it. They are doing it by force by Building Fake Island and So close to the main land of the Philippines. Then If China wont Recognize or acknowledge the Laws of the Seas of U.N. Then what Law will China Follows? Then China will make its own Laws her Own Law. Is that what you Mean Chinese People? you make your own Laws. Or you are theft by nature.
China should not claim territorial sovereignty on the EEZ of other ASEAN nations. While it quotes the case of other powerful nations who has been claiming islands thousands of miles from its main territory in the olden times due in fact when these western powers in certain century were in the phase of conquering countries and territories, doing the same thing now would not bode well to peace and stability in the South China Sea. Just because it is called South China Sea does not mean it owns the whole South China Sea. It does not justify China's aggression on harmless fisher folks, ramming down small fish boats and making announcements that these fishermen are entering the sovereign territory of China when in fact, these fishermen were within the Exclusive Economic Zone of its own country.
YOU GUYS THINK About not how to RESOLVE These things but to RESOLVE YOUR OWN FOE or your own FIGHT HOW WOULD YOU BE IN., UNDER THE RULING NATION OR a CHINES NATION as A RULING Nation that cannot RESPECT YOU? AND Cannot RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS TO LIVE And the National Law.. you guys JUDGE YOUR SELVES DO YOU WANT A RULING NATION THAT DO NOT RESPECT YOUR RIGHT AS A MAN AND AS A CITIZEN HAVING A NATIONAL LAW.. LOOK & SEE FOR YOUR SELVES 2:15-- & JUDGE YOU OWN SELVES IF THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE NATIONAL LAW HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT THEY WILL RESPECT YOUR OWN RIGHT THAT THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE NATIONAL LAW... OR HOW will UNDER THE NATION which is an OUT LAW... YOUR CHOICE..
you are saying sovereignty, but you are squatting on another's territory.... you have invaded and should have been punished from the very beginning... but no worries, after you finish the man-made islands, it will go back to its original owners....
China has territorial disputes with every one of its neighbors. The US regards the South China Sea starting 12 miles off mainland China as international water and air space giving anyone the right to traverse it without anyone's permission. The construction of artificial islands to build military bases asserting it's sovereignty over this vast area of the open ocean is not recognized by the United States which sees it as an act of military expansiomism. It isn't clear yet what the US plans to do to eliminate these constructions but it will eventually and until then will traverse the sea and sky above to whatever degree and manner it chooses. This is a dispute China cannot win. Another dispute it can't win is over islands claimed by Japan The US is obligated by treaty to defend Japan's interests. The alternative to the US defending its allies from China's aggression and that of its proxy North Korea is a nuclear armed Japan and South Korea. They have the technical capability to become major nuclear powers very quickly. China had better denuclearize the brutal regime in North Korea soon as time is fast running out before a major American attack. This is not a bluff. President Trump does not bluff.
Hey ? Spain have the whole map of the Philippines . The islands u claimed are all in the philippine map . Its belongs to philippines since Spanish occupation , stop being greedy ! Are u not ashamed that the whole world called thieves ?
Jurisdiction of the arbitration court is not the issue. The issue is that China's "historical" claims to sovereignty over the South China Sea were examined and were determined to be unfounded.
China currently uses any means to control the world.
Beijing is known for doing invasion little by little like their strategy in Hongkong by introducing CCP law.Apart from this is contested area of West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.What the CCP did was using militia as fishermen and occupy the Mischief Reef which they said to be safe haven for fishermen but later it turned to be permanent structure ,which is a few Kilometers from the nearest shore of the country Philippines.Its man made island and the bullying tactics for Asean fishermen who treated them with arrogance from the its navy.The occupation of Chinese is 100% illegal,its Nine Dash Line was only created in the year 1947 has no basis in International law.The sea is Asean’s traditional fishing ground since ancient times unlike China who is very far away from the sea she wants to steal.It is a clear violation of UNCLOS who also a member of the said organization.Plus the Arbitration tribunal rules in favor of the Philippines and not the Nine Dash Line of the CCP because it is common how that far encompasses claim that left few kilometers to the shore of another claimant countries.This is greedy attempt to steal another land.Under Unclos China has no basis to be there ‘You are illegal alien that wants only to poach the area including its natural resources.It is shameful that you want to own the area only by force and arrogance.
The issue here is about China and the Philippines and it's not about the U.S., The Chinese are harassing our Filipino fishermen and Vietnamese fishermen as well. Chinese took the Coral Reefs and build artificial Island which is illegal and it's inside our 200 EEZ. We've been knocking several times and talk to them regarding the issues but it's been ignored by them,So in order to get this Chinese attention is to go and complain on UNCLOS. Actually this issues and happenings is all about the U.S. and China why? Chinese in the first place expanding their militaries and showing their force and of course US will react. After ww2 there's no issues around there at SCS every countries can sail and fish around there except our 200 EEZ. Maybe this Chinese is running out of food, expanding or show off their STOLEN TECHNOLOGY.
not so true. China was the one who wanted to talk, but your stupid former president Benigno Aquino III rejected to negotiate, and he lied to all of Filipinos. Now let's see who will benefits from this mess.
+Joshua Feng Your wrong...Look around you..You started this...Harassing our fishermen and we're not the only one but also the Vietnamese fishermen as well,you building artificial land on our Island which is inside our 200 EEZ, that 9 dash line? who in force that? Look how far away from your country. We have our new President so I hope this will resolve peacefully.
tigaspinoypower Actually everything was fine until American break in. The US is the true evil wants to gain benefits from messing other countries up.
+Joshua Feng I know your going to brought US in this discussion but this issues is between China and Philippines. Yes we are Allied with the US since the 1800 but it doesn't mean that they are telling us what to do. Just to let you know 1993 US Bases was out in our Territory just to let you know that we don't need war and we want Peace and Stability on our country. The reason why the US reacted is because first You took and build artificial land on our which is inside 200 EEZ and first you flashing your military around that area and saying telling us about 9 dash line,you cannot get all of SCS by grabbing and build just like that .Imagine without a law ..what will happen on our surroundings. Sorry that's how it goes ..after ww2 we ALL but some sign around that area on UNCLOS including China so you guys comply regardless.
China’s argument doesn’t hold water 😂😂😂😂😂
Almighty God will save the good people and punish the bad people.
i pledge my allegiance to UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. bcoz american and phillpines love each other..i am filipino

When China knew it is going to court on the ownership of the islands, China did not prepare a defense team nor substantial proof to the islands, except for the bull that they were part of Chinese history. If the defense team do not go to court, they forfeit or claim no contest for the claims. China ignored legal ruling and then said that any claims to the islands can be held in China's court system. Hello? China is a claimant too. You need an outsider as an arbitrator to decide fairly. Since the islands are closest to the Philipines and based on the international waters laws, the islands belong Ito the Philipines. Don't come to my front door and claim my front yard belongs to you, unless you want some a$$-kicking, you thief! Stop telling us you want transparency and peace when you invaded, China.

WE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF WAR IF WE WANTED TO LIVE IN PEACE.
China is diamond headed ... remember Tibet. The rise of China megalomaniac empire!
The North America belongs to the Red Indians , not the White Europeans, since the ancient time, and so are Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Quando , etc .-Do you know that ? Dummy !
Yet the world is letting them get away with it
Not Yet as there is a procedure to go through first!
countries around the south china sea should cooperate to develop the territory together.
You cannot just build an island in international waters and then claim the sea around it. They are called international waters for a reason. And this reason is they don't belong to ANY country. They are INTER-national, that is by definition they are supposed to separate sovereign territories.
This was not the international Waters this is the West Philippines seas it is within its EEZ Zone of 200 miles. China is manipulating the facts and deceiving the international community!
@@josephsadowski4532 This is SCS. West philipines sea is stated clearly in the philipines independence treaty sign in spain. China had terra nullius to SCS islands thousands of yrs ago right up to japans return after ww2 in the sino japan peace treaty. The surrounding waters was claim in the UN prior to unclos with approval of usa past president and the international community.
Marcos violate the 2 said treaties and chinas UN claim to invade into chinas spratly and made constitutional amendments to include as philipines territory. Thats an act of war.
@@LeeSkJohn-sv8wi You are so right which gives china no foot hold to build in or on Philippines territory making this belonging to only the Philippines, Yes we know this and I support this statement too! China just up and stole what belongs to the Philippines! this is an Act of War against the Philippines Nation,
You will notice one interesting point, When the decision came down and Duterte was in Office he had one obligation to enforce the Defense treaty with the United States, and that was to send or Hand over a notice to vacate Philippines territory and after that an Eviction notice was necessary by Law which would have invoked the Defense treaty Except we all know Duterte Sold out the Philippines for a few silver coins and allowed China to continue to build on Philippines soil! so the real problem now falls in the hands of Duterte as he had to sell out the Philippin es knowing as a Lawyer exactly what he had to do to turn china off, Except Duterte Did not one thing, so we all lose because Of President Duterte himself for selling out the citizens of this country, Duterte is a Muslim an nothing you or I can do to assist the Philippines in getting out china from the Philippines, If the Vice president was in power she would go through the motions to evict China
The world is ran out of land, who ever can make land out of the water can claim it as it own. Making land out the sea should be count as human greatest achievement. I hope some day somebody make and island out in the middle of Pacific and Atlantic and claim as his or her so I can enjoy with him/ her.
@@josephsadowski4532 go read ur independence treaty territorial limit amd sino japan peace treaty again. Spratlies is never urs. I dont know how u interprete english.
Usa once warn u that spratly is not urs. How to invoke defence treaty when it does not belong to u. Its an invasion and usa is not obligated in this treaty.
Now usa unilaterally said its internatiinal water. That means not belonging to philipines too. They wanted the oil too
U weak country wanted to rob china. U are lucky its china. If its the west they will immediately wage a war like in falkland.
GOD IS THE BATTLE FOR THE PHILIPPINE OVER chinese! AMEN AND AMEN!
THE ĹIVING GOD WHO MADE ALL THINGS EXIST THROUGH HIS WORDS! AMEN AND AMEN!!!!
who was the chief judge who hand picked the panel of judges on the ruling in The Hague, seek & you will find. thanks Liuxin, all facts revealed thru CGTN.
A island made out of the water should be a Unesco world heritage site. The world need to respect whom ever made that greatest human achievement. We got so much water with so little land.
The difference between US territories such as Guam and your so called territory is that the International community recognizes these territories as US territories, with no other claimants. They have the right to put their military there. Chinese territorial claims are not recognized by the majority of the international community, as well as being claimed by other nations. You cannot just put your military to a territory that is claimed by other nation, such actions are not only reckless, but also create tension in the region.
The majority of Asian countries have already recognized the UNCLOS ruling in the Hague, Only China and a few other countries do not see it as such.
If you claimed a territory that is being claimed by other countries, and you forcefully restrict their rights, you are not only seen as a bully, but also perceived as a powerful, unstable state that will do anything to expand their territories. An expansionist country will always be a cause for concern for every nation.
Good luck get those wise words into the thick skull of those brain washed Chineses, they are too indoctrinated by their government now.
china's claim is not even supported by its own history and old maps, just the usual ALIBABA chinese culture, china navy do not even know in early 30's where the hell SPRATLYS is
you can not even see Taiwan in old china maps, but you can see Taiwan (Formosa) in old/ ancient Philippine maps, china's tactic is giving an area chinese name then later claim it as their own historically
USA is in Syria right now, no one invited them and they are violating syrias sovereignty and not only that, but actually killing people and funding and arming a civil war and paying mercenaries from around the world to try and topple Assad.
America can't talk. China is only building islands on what it considers its own territory, same as Phillipines, same as Japan, same as Vietnam who has the most islands in SCS.
And the US isnt even a signatory to UNCLOS, so what is it even talking about saying to respect UNCLOS lol
I suppose if China first attacked and killed all opponents as the US does, then everyone would "recognize " them as legitimate. Like US being in Syria is legitimate. America go home and give peace a chance.
When did China started to occupy Spratly Islands? How the United Nations settle this case?
The Court of Arbitration has got to have enforcement mechanisms to its rulings.
Opposing views is different from illegal reclamation and harassment of smaller countries.
tweet: Guam is not part of the United States. The U.S. has a hold of Guam as a territory, but Guam isn't part of the United States in its entirety - America has 50 states - that's it!
The so-called award issued by the arbitral tribunal for the South China Sea arbitration "has no meaning beyond a piece of paper", said Martin Jacques, a renowned British scholar on Asian issues.
Jacques made the remarks in a recent interview with China Central Television (CCTV) in light of the tribunal's decision on Tuesday that denied China's long-standing historic rights in the South China Sea.
"The difficulty here is that the corpus of international law is western law. So that's built up over, especially since the Second World War, but before that as well. And the Chinese position is very different. It's historic claims," said Jacques.
Jacques explained that as the West had shaped and written the international maritime law, it has been accepted as the order, adding that it reflects the western domination over a long historic period.
While he believes this is coming to an end, it is going to take a long time.
From Jacques' perspective, it has been much tougher for China since 2010 when the United States became more involved in East Asia. He said the U.S. has tried to offer a voice in these disputes for claimant countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The scholar believes that dialogue between China and other countries is the best way to solve the disputes.
China are very hungray to occupy their neighbor nation specially the sovereign sea of others.
During the signing of treaties these islands did not exist . Guy is a puppet
So China believes that since they invested the time effort and money to "develop" islands in the South China Seas and the Spratly Islands, then it rightfully belongs to them. So what if the US, or Japan, or Australia, or some other country, built man-made islands 20 miles off the coast of China? Could we then claim that since we developed the islands, it belongs to us? Would China accept American islands 20 miles off their shores? Could we also claim the oil and gas resources within 200 miles of those man-made artificial islands? Would China be okay with that?
Or what if the US and other countries started building man-made islands in the South China Seas, next to China's man-made islands, and then claim natural resources near those islands. Would China be okay with that? I don't think so.
RedRider1600 then they'll take diaol yu island and start building and work their way up on those island chains. They have the money, technology, man power to work fast, hell, they can do it all day long while Japanese or u.s govt have to fight for a budget that would allow them to do something like that that isn't even economically sustainable for them.
+Clause Exile
You are missing the point, moron.
By the way, China is in worse debt than the US. Their spectacular growth has been shrinking for the last 9 years. Chinese labor has gotten too expensive. Foreign companies and Chinese companies are both moving out of China to cheaper labor markets like Vietnam, India, Indonesia, The Philippines, etc. China's economy and spending spree paid for by debt is unsustainable.
China is still one of the poorest countries in the world. The average Chinese make HALF as much as an American teenager flipping burgers at McDonald's for minimum wage. A quarter of the population still lives in 3rd world poverty.
You are an ignorant moron.
The reason why land are not collapsing yet is due to the natural coral reef and shit which help stabilize the area/land. greed will be your end.
Have your own so called great rejuvenation all by your self 🇨🇳 but leave others property and sovereignty alone...specially in west Philippine Sea!
May I point out a few facts for your review.:
1) During the 2nd W W, Japan invaded & occupied most Chinese coastal cities including all the islands in the South China Sea and the Philippines.
2) When Japan surrendered, America regained control of the Philippines only, as a colony.
3) At the same time, American gun-boats ferried Chinese soldiers to all these islands in S. China Sea to restore Chinese sovereignty from the occupying Japanese. Some of those islands are named after those US gun-boats ever since.
4) All the maps were drawn by the US Government before 1975 clearly marked these islands belonged to China.
5) For thousands of years, only China has laid claim to these islands until oil was found in 1975.
These are facts and history.
If China does not agree on the International Tribunal Arbitration Ruling. It is abuse of being a big Country to engage recklessnes in claiming the China just because it is named in the Map, China Sea to identify the big and wide Sea, but it is not the property of China the Maritime Law is 200 nautical miles from its country shore line, the Right of Souverenity for its economic resources.
China should not ignore the unclos policy!
sell fake means claims are also fake..
China had taken opportunity of assistance in the UN and this is untolerable.
china no.1 suppliers of shabu in asea
Proved in history, China was the first nation that navigated intensively in South China Sea as early as 14th Century. Google and TH-cam ( Zheng He).
The peoples from Malaysia long before the China sailed in these areas of south western Pacific. As far as Easter islands.
You lie like an asshole; Malaysia is only 62 years old country. The East Indian & Sri Lankan & Chinese were here first. The Malay is Chindian halfbreed. The first India Cholas prince came to northern peninsula started the Langkasuka Empire. The first sultan of Malacca is Indian descent name Parameswara also Sang Nila Utama from Sumatra. He was crown sultan by the Ming Empire through Admiral Ong Sam Poh @ Zheng He @ Al Ma He a Muslim eunuch working under the crown prince of Ming dynasty. Zheng He help him with one condition that is become a Muslim and marry Hang Li Poh a muslim consort girl of the Ming Court he agreed and become Sultan Iskandar Shah. That is how Islam came to Malacca a now Malaysia. The British cheat the lazy descendant of Iskandar Shah and put proxy Sultan after killing many descendant of Iskandar Shah who are ruling many state. Malaysia only form after independence from British in 1957 with the uniting of 13 states.
China? Polynesians (among Pilipino ancestors) have been navigating SCS and South Pacific long before chinese even learned to build boats !hahahahahha
Coral Sea Thered no polynesians inhabitant there but china stone markers there. Your polynesians islands is now robbed by west all over the pacific. Go fight and see what they do to you.
what a joke ,MADE IN CHINA HISTORY , Malay and Polynesians have been navigating the high seas long before the chinese even learned to build small boats !
Don’t ever listen to China but look carefully what they have done.
The people of guam wanted to become a part of US....so the US can legally annex the island because Its people gave its consent to the US. Now, in the case of the spratly islands, There are no permanent inhabitants on the islands, Most of them are shoals which are not islands but are part of the sea bed... No country can claim a sea without measuring first the distance from an island that supports human habitation independently. The UNCLOS ruled that all the features in spratlys are all low tide elevation and rocks which means they are not entitled to a 200 nautical miles EEZ. These means that even if china owns all the rocks in the south china sea, those features will only get 12 nautical miles of territorial sea but beyond that 12 nautical miles will be the EEZ of the philippines. okay? It also means china HAs No right to claim scarborough shoal because it not an island.
EVERY TALK IS JUST DIVERTING THE RULES AND TELLING OF HOW STRONG IS THEIR ARSENAL AND HOW STRONG CHINESE ECONOMICAL PROGRESS IS... AND FORGET THE RULES OR LAW.
Let's forget Hague,USA,EU,Japan or other powerful countries. Just look at the 9dash line that chinese government claimed and the build some military bases,,,for what,,,to kill a fishermen? It's so obvious that the chinese govt. think that the only people who sailed and fished on south china sea are only chinese. How about the Malayan,vietnamese,Indonesian and filipinos,,,do you think they just stayed there at the beach and stared at the chinese fishermen? It is so ridiculous because the polenesia sailed many many years before, How about if the Philippine,Malasia,Indonesia and Australia close their sea borders,,,what will the chinese do,,they will use military forces? Do you think South east asian people will not fight back?
oh snap...he just shot down everyone down...he's got a point.
China make right way for the development of chinese sea
China's policy toward South China Sea since Deng Xiaoping is "lay the disputes aside and exploit together".
China has a long historical relationship with SCS:
King of Nanyue (predecessor of Vitenam, a part of China till 939AD, Vietnamese: Nhà Triệu) Zhao Tuo (a Han Chinese 240BC-137BC, Vietnamese: Triệu Đà) administrated northern part of SCS.
1972 unearthed Mawangdui Han Tombs extracted some maps with SC Sea.
"Book of Later Han" wrote between 432AD and 445AD has chapters about SCS.
Various later historical documents describe SCS.
The most famous event for Chinese to explore South China S is "Zheng He's Voyages".
Zheng He (1371-1433 or 1435), formerly romanized as Cheng Ho, was a Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat, fleet admiral, and court eunuch during China's early Ming dynasty. He was originally born as Ma He in a Muslim family, later adopted the conferred surname Zheng from Emperor Yongle. Zheng commanded expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433. His larger ships stretched 120 meters or more in length. These carried hundreds of sailors on four tiers of decks.
South China sea is very important "belt" for old Chinese's trade route.
"China" as porcelain can be found in many places on land or under water along the old "belt" trade route.
If you think China should claim a small part of SCS then China can get peace with other countries? Which small part?
If we claim small part of SCS, it is not reasonable. In the ancient time, Chinese ancestor's activity/navigation is not restricted to a small part or to a fixed sea route. Most islands or coral reef are claimed after WW2, or after WW1. But Chinese has relationship with SCS is 1500 years earlier than most of the claims.
Highseas and international waters are the same thing. what do you mean US coined "international waters" to violate other countries' sovereingty? that doesn't make sense!. Highseas and international waters both refer to seas which are not under any country's jurisdiction. or free seas..any country can sail on these seas
Chaina has morden 10000yers sevilaization hestory so saout chaina sea is belong to chaina .infact philepine, vetnam is also belong to Great Chaina. Chaina is a country that help all countries all of the world CHAINA is a soper power in ouer Asia we Shoud proud of
no.... all they want is south China sea.
South China Sea does not mean that that body of water or sea is a territory of China The country China is only used as reference that such body of water is located south of China. No Maritime Law or International Law or UNCLOS has defined that such body of water is clearly a territory of China. So why China is telling to the whole world that such area is their territory? Are they not ashamed of such lies? They are putting themselves in great mistake. China has no jurisdiction or sovereignty in that particular area because it is very far from their country.
Good. Give warning for Philippine and Vietnam to leave.
China make the right way to develop south China sea areas.
I would like to contact you. moalta@gmail.com I am "Manuel Ortega" in wechat.

Fisher Smith Kiki
Fisher Smith china destroyed the coral reefs that Filipinos treated it as a treasure under water bcoz its the home for any kind of fish , china wants to destroy every reef in South China Sea that over claiming the parts of other countries economic zone . China is bad can not be trusted country . They are slowly crawling to claim which is not theirs ! Thieves !!!!!
china only destryed south china sea's marine ecosystem
I have been listening to the purpose of questions been asked, and what the intensions behind them, have had made me believe that the man is only trying to thow the Chinese off in asking questions that were only for the favored of America's dreams but they're clearly not for the world's rights and peace! As a matter of fact even the people who predicted wars about today's knew exactly what was going on then and how things were being conducted; It was all about control and just like he answered, it was easy then but not now. No details needed. "Use common sense"
8:00 very well said
China must respect the international laws that the Philippines win
great true and facts, let more people understand and learn all those freak news in the net.
how dare you talking international law, you don't even respect international tribunal.china angry becoz US going on West Philippines sea.my question, are Chinese respect territorial waters of Philippines.
all I hear was threats not reason.
No more argument just take a measure how far is china is from the west Philippines sea the Chinese is very griddy
Scs belongs to China since ancient times right up to present times after ww2 when Japan renounce back scs islands to china in the sinojapan treaty obligated by Potsdam and Cairo declaration.
China then claim the surrounding sea as 11 dash in 1947 prior to unclos.
China had ratified unclos with reservation to protect their historical right which includes the scs.
Asean countries that illegally annexing china spratlies is an act of war.
ancient fake news😂
THE PHILIPPINES AND CHINA will jointly developed the3 Philippines infrastructure and off shore resources.
This could be the good outcome. USA wins over the South China sea war. Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Hong Kong are liberated. Dalai Lama returns to Tibet to enjoy his retirement. Xinjiang & Hong Kong become republic. Mongolia united as one.
its bel0ng t0 the philippines n0 matter what they say. . . time will tell. there is the right time f0r all. .
The UN court has declared a 12 n/mile territorial zone and a 200 n/mile EEZ.
It doesn't matter about history. All previous claims are invalid. China, if she owned the SCS, has now lost it by international law, and the legitimate claimants within their EEZ of the SCS are Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam. They are now the rightful occupiers. China lost it, and the only way China can get it back is by winning it in a war,,,, but with such, China will have to fight at least 20 nations. Do China want to be beaten in a war? does China want to lose all those countries as customers? China, apart from NK, all other nations distrust you because of your obscene claim in the SCS. Do yourself a favour and retract from the legitimate claimants EEZ.
Paracel , Spartly & Sankaku islands belongs to China.
David Truong nope, you just robbed it.

That's the opinion of 1 China FanBoy. So what?
Hes probably another paid CCP troll.
China is rich and powerful dwarfing the phillippines ability to oppose china. USA is the only country that phillippines feel will do something about it. But china made islands and harass the filipinos fisherman and USA did not do anything to help the filipinos. They had no choice but to be friendly with china to save the day.
why ask forty questions up front..thats not news
stop this nonsence, we may start a spark that may result in a catastrophic event, let Ph gov and China gov deal with this matter, what ever the result is, we're ready to defend our countries, thats the role of the citizens
USA have to defeat Russian first
Russian the main concern
Come On
Russia and the Soviet Union was already defeated in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Why people cussing China over this? Because China doesnt have 100s of Military bases on foreign soils
Well, China is claiming the international water that circulates about 5 trillions dollars, and what China is doing will hurt the economy of many countries that belong/have trading in South China sea. The Chinese government is in fault at this part, because the 200 EEZ is something every country in the world has agreed upon.
U.S has 100+ bases in other countries, because those countries are allied to the U.S, and they allowed the U.S to put its military bases on their soil as a proof of the U.S's commitment to up hold the alliance. anything else you want to ask ?
Also, lots of Chinese people call the U.S government a hypocrite, but the problem is that China is acting the same as the U.S while claiming itself as not greedy as U.S. If you have to be perfect to criticize some one else, the U.S wouldn't have stepped into the second World war, and China would still being fucked by Imperial Japan, and the Europe would be under the Third Reich right now. It is all because just like Nazi, the U.S has concentration camp for Japanese citizens living in the U.S during war time, see my point ?
If it is yours china the south China Sea win it in a war but if you loss in war is not yours.
please keep in mind that China is the only country to declare that not be the first to use nuclear ...
So ? If the U.S didn't use the nuclear bombs, China would still be fucked by Imperial Japan right now. And now the best you can bring to criticize the U.S is nuclear weapon ? Wow, just wow dude.
i believe china can win anyway
van lao i believe china can win anyway
Hao Dong And how ? Just one embargo, and China will be screwed. Its economy is not stable thanks to those "wise leaders" CCP. China is taking profit base on 2 things: export to other ASEAN nations, and manufacturing goods for the Westerns nations. If an embargo is put on China for aggressive expansion, the Western world will not be hurt that much, because China tried to boycott their goods long time ago in favor for local goods, causing unfair trades between local and foreign trading. On the other hand, China will not be able to export its products to ASEAN countries, because: 1) It has been embargoed. 2) ASEAN nations, with the hatred for the 9-dash line claim, and the U.S backing them, will not give China a favorable trade deal like before, causing China to lose its influence in the region.
Chinese people keep saying " without us, you won't have any product to use, hahaha", well, it's quite the oposite, India can actually replace China, and it will not have competition in ASEA if China is embargoed. Also, most Western nations has followed "globalism" and have their products manufactured in multiple sources, like Middle East, South America, South East Asian, so it's not like the old day when China is the only provider anymore.
+van lao if u have time to complain this, why u don't spend time to contribute ur country?
China is occupier those islands are belongs to nearest countries China people it is necessary to get down cruel dictator from president of China all of you meet at tianmen square take vow to get down the dictator due to unusual mindset you may face so many problems
Believe it or not, China and Philippine will be one country after hundreds years.We shouldn't argue with each others, it is useless. Filipino, it is a very good chance to build a tight relationship with Chinese, improve your economics, Think about it, what will be brought to Filipino in the conflict with Chinese.
This coming from a guy who forgot to put S in the word Philippines cool story bro
commie bastard
Jason J no
chinese greedy
dont deal with them
It's called the "south China Sea"
Is there a reason to argue?

Is it right for china to drive away pilipino fisherment from its own water ?
Good job China! Finally got a strong government!
I agree
We're big, You're small. You're weak, we're strong. All the riches for us and none for you. We will take what we want and there's nothing you can do about it. Well now, isn't that an admirable bully!
China has no Balls, China is acting like a bully now with the United States, China could never win and CHina is and are cowards china is playing the game of Manipulation and deception for the International community to believe that china is strong enough but china will get more then 2 Bomb on its main land and will lose all its aircraft carriers and a Lot of their ships, the time is close and we are waiting for China's Big move on out US Navy or shores China is calling out the US because it wants other people to believe they can do a job they have no will power to do as if they did have that will power they would already have started this without any further mouthing off calling out the United States. China is going down and it will go down hard as China has to reduce its population of 1.4 Billion souls, fast as they cannot afford to feed its own people as china is depleting the West Philippines seas from all its wild sea life. China is in Deep trouble. China has depleted all of the South china sea well known as the Asian seas.
The international community should ask China: why the 3 seas nearer to China's homeland do not belong to China?
San Diego island closer to Sri Lanka .
Why American there
NO country can own a reef. do u really understand international law.
Your right! And no such 9 dash line And we do have 200 EEZ right?
+Chris out of the islands international court loser!!!
You think any country give a crap about the reef??
Carvin boo, what do you mean?
Chris It's the oil/gas all these countries want.. not the stupid reef...
No oil/gas, you think any of the seven countries bother about the sea?
China is not the first to navigator in China sea.
Do you know why it is called South China Sea and not Philippine sea or Vietnam sea or Japan Sea. The brain tells you.
ok ? explain to me about India sea, or the Gulf of Mexico then. Because I'm sure as hell Mexico and India didn't claim it as their own just because the area was named after their countries. On the other hand, I can explain thoroughly to you why it was called South China sea ( hint: it's not because it belongs to China)
Go China! never give in never give up!
Haters gonna hate. keep talking shit while you still have time. enjoy :)

Huh?!!! China defeated Japan in WWII?
Heres a simple example look at the Philippines Sea Does it mean that It was name under the Philippines Name and the Philippines owns that (area)Sea? the answer is NO! Look at The Indian Ocean Does it mean they name Indian Ocean They Own Sri Lanka Seas Of course No! Does It mean that because it was name South China Sea. Then China Own South China Sea. the answer is NO! Chinese people try to read The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) its say every coastal country has exclusive rights to the oil, gas, and other resources in the seabed up to 200 nautical miles from shore or to the outer edge of the continental margin, whichever is the further, subject to an overall limit of 350 nautical miles (650 km) from the coast or 100 nautical miles (185 km) beyond the 2,500-metre isobath (a line connnecting equal points of water depth). Legally, this area is known as the continental shelf, though it differs considerably from the geological definition of the continental shelf. Where the territorial waters, EEZs, or continental shelves of neighbouring countries overlap, a boundary line must be drawn by agreement to achieve an equitable solution.) The Fact China is Building Artificial Islands inside this Countries Territory and So Close to the Land of Philippines. Inside the Economic Zone. The Problems is China knows That they dont own this whole south China sea but only part of it. They are doing it by force by Building Fake Island and So close to the main land of the Philippines. Then If China wont Recognize or acknowledge the Laws of the Seas of U.N. Then what Law will China Follows? Then China will make its own Laws her Own Law. Is that what you Mean Chinese People? you make your own Laws. Or you are theft by nature.

So after china has succeeded their claim for south china sea. What's next? Probably another 100-dash-lines coming out on Indian ocean.
I'm asian
that was a great joke! lol
You are a joke.
China should not claim territorial sovereignty on the EEZ of other ASEAN nations.
While it quotes the case of other powerful nations who has been claiming islands thousands of miles from its main territory in the olden times due in fact when these western powers in certain century were in the phase of conquering countries and territories, doing the same thing now would not bode well to peace and stability in the South China Sea.
Just because it is called South China Sea does not mean it owns the whole South China Sea. It does not justify China's aggression on harmless fisher folks, ramming down small fish boats and making announcements that these fishermen are entering the sovereign territory of China when in fact, these fishermen were within the Exclusive Economic Zone of its own country.
YOU GUYS THINK About not how to RESOLVE These things but to RESOLVE YOUR OWN FOE or your own FIGHT HOW WOULD YOU BE IN., UNDER THE RULING NATION OR a CHINES NATION as A RULING Nation that cannot RESPECT YOU? AND Cannot RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS TO LIVE And the National Law.. you guys JUDGE YOUR SELVES DO YOU WANT A RULING NATION THAT DO NOT RESPECT YOUR RIGHT AS A MAN AND AS A CITIZEN HAVING A NATIONAL LAW.. LOOK & SEE FOR YOUR SELVES 2:15-- & JUDGE YOU OWN SELVES IF THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE NATIONAL LAW HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT THEY WILL RESPECT YOUR OWN RIGHT THAT THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE NATIONAL LAW... OR HOW will UNDER THE NATION which is an OUT LAW... YOUR CHOICE..
you are saying sovereignty, but you are squatting on another's territory.... you have invaded and should have been punished from the very beginning... but no worries, after you finish the man-made islands, it will go back to its original owners....
China wants to learn hard way?
China has territorial disputes with every one of its neighbors. The US regards the South China Sea starting 12 miles off mainland China as international water and air space giving anyone the right to traverse it without anyone's permission. The construction of artificial islands to build military bases asserting it's sovereignty over this vast area of the open ocean is not recognized by the United States which sees it as an act of military expansiomism. It isn't clear yet what the US plans to do to eliminate these constructions but it will eventually and until then will traverse the sea and sky above to whatever degree and manner it chooses. This is a dispute China cannot win.
Another dispute it can't win is over islands claimed by Japan The US is obligated by treaty to defend Japan's interests.
The alternative to the US defending its allies from China's aggression and that of its proxy North Korea is a nuclear armed Japan and South Korea. They have the technical capability to become major nuclear powers very quickly. China had better denuclearize the brutal regime in North Korea soon as time is fast running out before a major American attack. This is not a bluff. President Trump does not bluff.
Let's go to war and end this. One days even your kongfu can't save you.
F you war monger
