*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🇹🇼.
CCP has no jurisdiction in the West Philippines Sea and most of the South Asian Sea. If they don't abide by UNCLOS, then anything goes. The countries with the highest friction with the CCP are Vietnam and Taiwan. The Vietnamese have a long history of conflict with CCP and have had great success in territorial conflicts, less so in maritime skirmishes. Taiwan is displaying remarkable patience and is carefully developing counter invasion strategies with very advanced military Tech. As everybody knows the CCP would have more success crossing the Russian border than the Taiwan Straights if they need to pump ups the home crowd with display some expansionism.
The international law is very on the south china sea: SCS belongs to china and Taiwan territory since ancient times right up to present times. The rest is international waters. No part of it belongs to philipines and Vietnam.

China can also do anything they want because they have the power to do so. Therefore, the Philippines should definitely ask the US to escort their ships so that there could be balance of power.
The Philippines have to accept US help in resupply missions, patrolling the WPS upholding the rule of law, and freedom of navigation, strengthening defense alliances with like-minded nations.

The Philippine government just wanted to make sure that they’re not dragging its Allie’s to a petty war, as much as possible a justifiable war if a war broke out. This my understanding to PH strategy, although the government should start a tougher response to China and ask the allies for more military equipment and ships instead of an escort.

Meet aggressiveness with aggressiveness that is something that the south east Asian countries has trying to avoid and they didn't understand that kind of behavior that they have to come up or to deal with.
Chinese fishermen aka PLA is stealing the Philippines resources now. Ask Hongkongers, Uighurs, Tibetans, Mongolians and Chinese how Xi Jinping is mishandling them now. what do you think they’d do to the Philippines without the USA.
Uncle Sam is standing by in the area, willing and able to defend their ally Philippines anytime of the day. They have said many times their ironclad commitment to assist and defend the country in case of war with china. China knows they can't afford to wage war with the US and its allies, and china will suffer the most if conflict arises.
Are you sure he's your uncle? America had a similar MDT wit the ROC. The treaty was terminated after American established diplomatic relations with PRC.
China won't risk a battle with the US defending the Philippines. Unless, their forces are prepared to invade Taiwan or else what's the point of engaging the Americans? Except for baiting the Americans into a certain area to engage in an ambush. One could also presume that if the Chinese do engage the Americans in the Philippine Sea, then an invasion of Taiwan could be imminent.
Wait if US escorts the Philippines, it will definitely escalate the tension. The Philippines is only doing the supply missions within ourselves or our navy, but if we exhaust all of our options out last resort will be seeking US help
At some point, the PHL will need to place some structure at Sabina/ Escoda Shoal. Ostensibly it will be a base for a marine sanctuary tied to a PHL University. Next will be construction of a naval base at Second Thomas/ Ayugin Shoal to replace the deteriorating BRP Sierra Madre guarded by a cadre of Acero/ Alvarez/ Yap class ships in rotation with Davao Del Sur class resupplying the troop. GO PN !! CCP OUT OF WPS !!
ASEAN must stand up with better collective bargaining power diplomatically with a direction/vision for the next 5 years otherwise it's name & collaboration doesn't benefit much for her people. PRC is not part of ASEAN unless they want to be a member then economically, diplomatically it would be a different ball game all together.
The Filipinos should reexamine their strategy. Vietnam’s is quietly achieving more in its objectives / goals in the South China Sea without endangering their coastguard and fishermen; Vietnam is not appeasing China and is effectively standing its ground and quietly furthering its interests in the South China Sea. Marcus Jr constant confrontation & provocation in the Spratlys to stir up nationalist fervour and inviting US, NATO and AUKUS into the mix is not constructive and dangerous.
You sure about that? How does a country want to claim over neighboring countries EEZ's up to 90NM from their shorelines? And Vietnam isn't achieving its objectives quietly, its making it known to China if you want to build things in the ocean and call it an official extension of your country, then we will do the same. Chinese aggression prompted Vietnam to carry on its own reclamation. Vietnam had no need to do that prior to Chinese reclamation and militarization in the South China Sea. Because the Philippines wants to preserve the marine life in the Spratly Islands is why they aren't out there trying to build oil rigs building military outposts.
@@HaroldLee-z8s yes the Vietnamese are not pushovers and they are smart. They are asserting their claims in a relatively non-confrontational and quiet manner. Duterte’s approach was more like the Vietnamese. This SCS dispute is about sovereignty. UNCLOS provisions were not written to resolve competing claims of sovereignty. UNCLOS provisions about EEZ assume all claims of sovereignty have been settled. Questions of sovereignty have always been settled either by might or direct diplomatic negotiation - not with UNCLOS. Little can be achieved by assembling an international lynch mob to “shame” or pressure China. The current Filipino strategy of provocation and defiance is not constructive and risk destabilising the region. There weren’t as many problems for Filipino fishermen when Duterte was engaging with China.
@@Blixey-r9z china leaned that Vietnam will fight against Chinese aggressive even before first clash with Vietnam and china on island lot of Chinese are lost live
@@bitcoinmonitor7144 Vietnam has won some battles in the past with China before true. But Vietnam has also learned that China can be negotiated with and that is the more productive way these days since China’s military might has grown. It just shows China is willing to negotiate and would prefer that if possible. No other ASEAN claimant (Malaysia & Brunei) is as confrontational or provocative as Philippines. The Filipinos are not thinking clearly. If the Filipinos want to fight, then they should do it without the US, NATO or AUKUS like Vietnam did. Every state has to be prepared to defend what it wants to control or take. Outsourcing defence and national security compromises one’s own sovereignty. US and NATO certainly do not have good intentions and their national interests in preserving Western hegemony are certainly not aligned with the Philippines or any country in the region.
Maybe treatment of philippine ang taiwan is different in US responce because US and philippines have MDT while taiwan not, position of taiwan same ukraine, Its only my guess.
If resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre mission can’t be done through water, Air, or with US Coast Guard escort because China is making it impossible then there’s no other option than Philippine and/or US weapons will be fired. It is NEVER an option for the Philippines to give up. The Filipinos undoubtedly will fire the first shot or fight back up to their last breath 😂😂😂😂😂
Some people talk a lot about international law, which is a sign of ignorance. When China declared its sovereignty in the South China Sea, the country of the Philippines was not even created. If you don’t understand, please check out the US-Spanish Treaty. A bunch of idiots are still talking about international law there. Many people are so ignorant that it makes people laugh.
Better militarily armed Indonesia & Vietnam had/ have on their own shown resolve by preventing ( in some instances w similar deadly confrontations as in Phils/ China clashes) the Chinese fish/ millitia/Coastguard boats intrusion attempts in their EEZ seas, no wars happened & China now is pausing its aggressive behavior to their EEZ seas..The militarily weaker & sea assets-deficient Phils w US escort can follow their example.
Militarists in the countries involved are on the rise. Elsewhere, we are also seeing an increase in security blocs. In the end, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.
China had legitimized the 9th dashline borderline in 1952. And that’s with the help of USA vessels. Plus the second fact that it’s been that long without any legal opposition. By any legal standards, that long without any legal opposition means it passed, just like our Hawaii.
