The Philippines is a founding member of the United Nations. It pays its debts on time and has a good credit rating. It has almost $100 Billion in it's Central Bank and is building it's infrastructure as it's population is now 113 million people. It has followed international laws dutifully and sends peacekeepers whenever the United Nations asks for them. The 169 member Nations that signed/ratified the UNCLOS need to pressure the entire United Nations to tell China to wake up from it's delusional claims of ownership to over 90% of the South China Sea. If the UN cannot reign in this sitting member of the Security Council that has broken all the laws of the sea, then what is the point of having a United Nations?
United Nations is a meeting room for nations. It has nothing to do to deal disputations. Meanwhile，United States didn‘even sign UNCLOS. There is nothin UN can do.😅😅😅😅
I would have suggest Philippines to join the Quad alliance and for the alliance to be more assertive against Beijing, but US sleepy Joe has once again cancelled the Quad summit in India...last time he cancelled the Quad summit in Australia....so no point Philippines joining now!
On 18 April 1971, due to a strong typhoon hitting Zhongye Island, the Republic of China (Taiwan) authorities ordered all the garrisons on Zhongye Island to withdraw to Taiping Island to avoid the typhoons. The Philippines saw this empty space and organized the troops to land on the island on 29 July and renamed the island "Pag-asa Island". Read some history
@@pingq2081Pag-asa Island is formerly known as Freedomland. And before it became freedomland, it is a known rest stop for Filipino fishermen. China never had control of it
To those who mock or questions how small or how many warships did India send to the Philippines, that Indian warship is for port call purposes only at the same time supporting the Philippines in joint maritime patrol. You're just being exaggerated about your comment that looks like preparing for war.

At the beginning of this year, China invited President Marcos as the first leader to visit China and signed orders worth tens of billions of dollars. China hopes to continue the friendly relations between China and the Philippines under President Duterte. However, unlike President Duterte, the hundreds of millions of dollars in property of the Marquez family are stored in the US, so he must obey the orders of the Americans to preserve his family's property. The conflict began over an attempt by the Philippines to deliver reinforcement materials to the Sierra Madre. China did not intercept ships carrying food or fresh water, only ships carrying construction materials. The claimant countries around the South China Sea have not supported the Philippines. Everyone knows that peace is the most important thing at the moment. The Philippines' behavior only protected the president's personal interests, but harmed the interests of the Philippines as a nation. Do Filipinos really think that the US will go to war with a nuclear power over an island or even the entire Philippines? The Philippines is just a tool used by the US to provoke China. The confrontation between the Chinese and US navies in the South China Sea in 2016 ended with the withdrawal of two US aircraft carrier battle groups.
No. As Chinese has stronger milliatry in south china sea， they can just ignore all diplomatic protests bacause no nation really want to get involved in total war with china. Thier milltary strength is the best diplomatic policy. If Philippine want to get any part of territory in south china sea， it must defeat PLA navy first.
We will protect our maritime rights and territorial integrity in the West Philippine Sea. No matter what happened my all out support goes to the Philippine Army, Navy and Coast guard. ❤️💂♀️💂♂️🇵🇭
@@peterseth3296 do you event know whats happening?, Philippines won the tribunal and awarded to them, Philippines has the rights!!! We have new international law just look how close the island to the Philippines.
Because the Republic of China (Taiwan) used a borrowed US naval vessel to sail down to the largest island in the Spratlys (Taiping Island) and planted its flag there in 1946. Before that these islands and reefs were occupied by the French and then the Japanese.
Don't be naive. Look at Turkey's coastline, almost all nearby islands belong to Greece. Shouldn't them all bolong to Turkey according to distance rule? Why UK and France have territories thousands of miles away?
@@crazy791326Those are different stories, Greece rightfully owns those islands (not sure about the issue in Cyprus). The UK, US and other colonialist countries still hold most of those tiny islands. The case is different in PH and China. China is claiming the whole vast "OCEAN" (not an island but the entire OCEAN mdfkers are greedy). Islands occupied by the Chinese in the West Philippines Sea are "MANMADE".
Fix your title DW. We are not defending our "claims" we are defending our inherent territory. If another country claims Berlin, would your title be "how would Germany defend its claim on Berlin"?
@gogamer188 I am a Filipino and frustrated that our government cant do anything about the Chinese incursion on our EEZ. I am not a zombie following any cult
Philippines must continue to expose China of its gray zone tactics and ramp up efforts to rally with like-minded nations to uphold international law and respect for neighbours!
Yes, Philippines should do so, why? please read This is from the book of Amb. Fu Ying on Huangyan Dao/Scarborough Shoal & why it's Chinese territory Former senior Chinese diplomat's detailed account of history and reasons why it's not Filipino territory, as well as interactions with Kurt Campbell, just nominated for Deputy Secretary of Secretary. It is recognized that the Philippines’ territory was defined in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, between the US and Spain, the 1900 Treaty of Washington between the US and Spain and the 1930 Convention between the US and Great Britain. All three treaties contain explicit clauses defining the territory of the Philippines as being east of the meridian 118° longitude, east of Greenwich. Huangyan Dao is located clearly to the west of that line and has never belonged to the Philippines. The Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines of 1935, the Treaty of General Relations and the Protocol between the US and the Philippines of 1947, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Philippines and the US of 1952, and the Republic Act No. 3046 issued on June 17, 1961 on the baselines of the territorial sea and the Philippines' amendment order of 1968 concerning the baselines of the territorial sea, have all successively reaffirmed the legal effect of the three treaties. They explicitly define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and confirm that neither the base points nor the baselines of its territorial waters include Huangyan Dao. So it can be taken that the Philippine government did not include Huangyan Dao into the scope of its territory or sovereignty. In fact, the Philippine government itself published maps dated 1967, 1981, 1984 and later, and these maps clearly marked Huangyan Dao as outside of its dotted maritime boundary line. The Philippine government did not treat Huangyan Dao as part of its territory either. For example, in a letter to a German radio amateur in February 1992, the then Philippine Ambassador to Germany stated clearly that the Scarborough Shoal or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial sovereignty of the Philippines.[11] Even as recently as October 18, 1994, the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines (NAMRIA) confirmed that the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines were established in Article III of the Treaty of Paris, signed on December 10, 1898. Scarborough (Huangyan Dao) clearly lies outside of those limits.[12] In 1999, I was serving as the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines. One day, I was invited to speak to the International Press Club in Manila in the wake of a fishery dispute near Huangyan Dao. On my way to the club, I stopped at a newspaper stand and bought a map published by the NAMRIA. During the interview with Philippine and foreign journalists, I reviewed the map with them, and it was agreed by all that Huangyan Dao does indeed fall outside of Philippine territory.
When western countries were hoarding vaccine and denying access to countries in Africa. India supplied vaccine to countries in Africa and most of it for free. India also helped recently Srilanka during crisis with money and oil supplies. Additionally, during a recent war somewhere in Europe, western countries were causing an increase in oil prices and scarcity of food and oil worldwide. India made sure that the oil supplies to neighbors like Bangladesh, Srilanka and Nepal weren't disrupted. Also, after west left Afghanistan in hands of Taliban without sufficient resources and blocked all foreign funding or Afghani money from abroad, India has been sending huge aid with tons of grains, medicines, vaccine and other supplies as usual. Recently also supplied aid to Gaza. These are just some of the many examples.
I guess nobody heard of the critical role India's indigeneously developed covid vaccine played for 100+ developing nations, when the vaccine moguls like Pfizer were bullying them! Check up on the facts, and then see which nations actually are the leaches.
Philippines has no other choice but to defend its territory. With the way PH govt is supporting the PH Navy and CG now , it is serious and that it is wiling to go as far as it needs to...the good thing is PH allies are also helping and supporting PH to be able to do that.
Would you mind to proof this island is PH's ? China is the first country of landing , guarding, maping , curis , name these island . If you dont have anything show up , why should you claim the territory of island?
@@jianyang6281 Choice of Filipinos during Duterte Administration was the same. They opposed siding with China but the sad thing was, Philippines made the wrong choice in choosing their President.

China is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which stipulates that each claimant has a sovereign right of 200 nautical miles.

There's nothing else for the Philippines 🇵🇭 to settle with China. Hague Tribunal already settled it by a ruling in 2016. - Whether China likes it or not, the ruling is *final and legally binding.*
UNCLOS was ratified in 1982. China claim dates back to 1946. A tribunal that China does not recognize ruled for the Philippines. So the Philippines have the right to enforce their claim against China. Good luck enforcing it. Going to the Hague was naive, now the Philippines is in a confrontation with China. Even if the US fights with the Philippines, the fight will be in the Philippines. And the US is itching to start a war with China, congratulations on becoming US latest patsy.
China is not a party to the International Criminal Court and does not have to accept the judgment of the Hague Tribunal. In addition, is the judgment of the International Court of Justice in The Hague necessarily fair?
@user-dc7zy4kl6w Good thing this isn't the ICC. It's the PCA (Permanent Court of Arbitration), to which the PRC is actually a party. And they made the ruling under the UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea), which the PRC ratified in 1996. So China agreed to abide by this, regardless of whether you or they think it to be fair. If they don't want to be a part of the Convention, then let them be honest and withdraw from it formally instead of this farce of only following it when it suits them.
*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea: - parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including Philippines 🇵🇭, - the rest of it is the international water, - no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
The so called South China Sea arbitration was just a protest sign Philippines purchased from a printing shop. 1)) The South China Sea arbitration was not under UN, thus not part of International law, it is misleading to think so, and 2) China did not participate in that arbitration. thus it is invalid. you know it if you practice law, this is about international norm. 3) Philippines paid ALL cost for that arbitration.
The international law by its nature cannot pass ruling on matters of national sovereignty, otherwise Palestine would be a nation by now. International law only applies to nation that agrees the said law should apply to that nation, China like all other nations have the right to refuse.
fun fact, the south sea 11 dash line was drawn by the kmt/roc, plus nobody opposed it at 1948 when it was passed. the prc reduced the 11 dased line to a 9/10 dash line. neighboring countries didn't have a puss with it until oil was discovered.
Fun fact: the Bellin map from 1734, clearly depicts the Spratly Islands and other disputed island within the Philippine maritime domain. And yes, internationally recognized not only by the European but also the Asia at that time.
China's government has been aggressively asserting its territorial claims beyond its rightful maritime borders, particularly with regards to areas that are geographically distant. They have seemingly underestimated the Philippines due to its small size, weaker military and economy. However, the international community is aware of the suffering and oppression experienced by the Philippines and believes that there will come a time when China's actions must cease.
These countries around the South China Sea took advantage of China's weakness in the last century to steal these islands and reefs, and now that the Chinese have come back to take back what belongs to them, you guys are there again saying that China is too aggressive
Taiwan has claimed the 11-dash line from 1945 to today because this was the order of World War II. At that time, the West and the Soviet Union allowed the ROC navy to take over the South China Sea because of the Chinese contribution in World War II. PRC inherited it from ROC after 1949. Why don't you blame pro-West ROC Taiwan? why not tell Taiwan to give up 11-dash line claim, Taiping and Dongsha first? When the CCP attacked the US military in 1950, the Indian army in 1962, and the Soviet army in 1969, was it because they were small countries? No, that was when the United States, India, and the Soviet Union were at their peak. Your ignorance and self-confidence would eventually make you bear the price of war.
not as aggresssive as AAA american aggressive army who bombs everyday. if the island is belonged to america, philippine was already bombed with 2000lb bombs (used in gaza)

You must of forgotten that US defended the Philippines and came back to take back Philippines from the Japanese in WW2. This isn't much different in a sense that it's against imperialism.
The US has no choice, the difference between Ukraine and the Philippines is that the latter has a mutual defense treaty with the US which Zelensky wished he had, at this point its the only thing thats keeping Beijing from going all out against Manila. Washington has already confirmed several times in the past that it will defend the Philippines incase of an attack, the US will be in it for the long haul because if it doesnt, it will lose credibility with its allies in the Indo Pac region.

@@thinkpositive3667 At the end of World War II, the ROC claimed the 11-dash line in 1945, the West and the Soviet Union asked ROC to take over the control of South China Sea after Japanese troops retreated. the US navy lent 8 warships to the Chinese, then the four ROC navy warships landed on Taiping Island, Thitu Island, Triton Island, Woody Island and set up stone tablets in 1946. Today Taiwan still claims 11-dash line since 1945, controls Taiping island and Dongsha island, but Thitu Island was lost in the Philippines due to storm in 1971, Taiwan wanted to take back but canceled military operation against the Philippines under pressure from the united states, ROC Taiwan did not give up the claim on Thitu island until today. PRC just inherited same claim from ROC after 1949, but PRC changed from 11-dash line to 9-dash line after CCP gave Bach Long Vi island as gift to North Vietnam for monitoring US military reconnaissance aircraft. When Chinese claimed 11-dash line, British Malaya, American Philippines, French Vietnam, Dutch Indonesia, all Southeast Asian countries were Western colonies in 1945. Therefore, when the West masters gave the South China Sea as a gift to the friend ROC, the Southeast Asians as slaves couldn't and didn't oppose 11-dash line claim. So why did the United States gave the South China Sea to ally Chinese instead of the ally Filipino? Because The post-war order is always decided by the winners according to contributions during the war and only the big contributors can distribute the spoils, because ROC suffered tens of millions of casualties, KMT/CCP wiped out more Japanese than all of Southeast Asia combined, the Chinese persisted against Japan until Japan surrendered in 1945, all Southeast Asians and Western colonial troops didn't resist long enough but surrendered to Japan in 1942. Therefore, the ROC is the only independent country in Asia that made the greatest contribution to World War II. That’s why the international community has acquiesced in China's claims to the South China Sea, or you tell me why?
@@lvjinbin28Thank you for your fine excellent essay narrating and supporting 10-dash line bogus maritime claim. The Hague Tribunal ruling of 2016 do not believe your assertions. They have no basis in international law.
@@海汪-l6gunfortunately because it was named that, the Chinese think it’s theirs.😂. Next they’ll be claiming all the ‘chinatowns’ in other countries as well! 🤣
The Philippines winning the Hague-UNCLOS arbitral ruling strengthens the rule of law which China continue to violate insisting on it's 9 Dashline claim. The ASEAN including US, Canada, Japan, Australia, SoKor, UK, France, Taiwan, India have expressed their support for the Philippines which were intended to send a message on Beijing to adhere to the Law & Sea Code agreement of which China itself is one of the signatory.
What??? That Hague crowned show staged by US?? Such embarrassment and PH President said it was a joke. He demanded US to pay the money owed to PH for the arbitration and US still owes that money. LOL
Taiwan (Republic of China) govt states "will never accept (the arbitration), not legally binding on the Republic of China“. President Tsai Ing-wen sent a warship around the islands one day after the arbitration on 13 July 2016 to assert sovereignty. Are you inventing some facts here?
A Coast Guard is supposed to protect their coast lines yet the Chinese coast guard is in Scarborough Shoal which is 594 nautical miles (1,100km) from China's Hainan Island while the Philippines is only 120 nautical miles (222km) which is the allowed EEZ under UNCLOS. However you look at it there no excuse for it.
Philippines needs to work with the USA, Japan and other democracies to move manufacturing from China to the Philippines. Long term this will give the Philippines the economic strength to counter China. Develop mutual defense pacts with Japan, Korea, Indonesia and India.
The problem is the 60/40 ownership enshrined in the Philippines constitution, making other countries more attractive for FDI. This was set up to protect the Philippines Oligarchy, which are mostly ethnic Chinese.
Yes, it's part of the Constitution. Branches or Representative Offices have very limited capacity to actually operate or compete with Philippines majority owned companies, unless they operate in a Free Zone. There's a number of other issues about restrictions on retail, media, education etc, so it's all locally controlled. Very few countries ever enshrine corporate ownership issues in a Constitution, they usually leave it up to the Gov't to use legislation to help stimulate the economy. It's why most of the FDI in ASEAN goes to Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, instead of the Philippines. Also, the incredible amount of red tape, and corruption in various Gov't Departments, makes it an unattractive place to invest. Most Gov't Operations in the Philippines are designed to be inefficient, so that as many fees as possible can be collected by various departments, to fund the Gov't. They can't rely on income tax. OFW remittances aren't taxed, and are used to fuel spending in the retail sector and so the Country relies on consumption spending to fuel growth. The Philippines has very little manufacturing, and its biggest export is human beings. In most other countries, the Gov't tries to assist the private sector to succeed, so that jobs are plentiful at home, and taxes are paid, but here, in the Philippines, the Gov't actually competes with the private sector for money and is a major employer, and most of the middle class live overseas. The Oligarchs work hand in glove with the Gov't to ensure they never face competition at home, so nothing improves for the poor Filipino.
@@tlevans62 It explains why, despite all the conditions for a thriving economy, the Philippines is stagnating. Let's hope they have the political will to change their constitution
Why didn't the Philippines defend itself against Spanish colonization? Why didn't the Philippines defend itself against US colonisation? The Philippines is better off remaining as a colony.😂😂😂
The Philippines abandoned the USA in 1991. They kicked them out of their huge bases in Subic Bay and Clark. Scarborough shoal is less than 150 miles from Subic. If the American fleet was still there, there is no way the Chinese would have claimed it as their own.
Can They Abandon Philippine, Yeah Philippine Existing Are Not Important To American But Sea Route Are More Important Unless If American And Allied Want To Cross Atlantic To Reach They Allied In Middle East And Europe
China's defense budget is $700 billion. Philippines' defense budget is $4 billion. Philippines doesn't have the capability to confront China. A war with China could mean loss of Palawan to China. Mexico lost 55% of its territory to the U.S. from its war with the United States. Same thing could happen to Philippines.
let's set the record straight, if DW thinks it is wrong, proved it. In 1945, at the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, be ordered to return the Chinese territory it had occupied in past ages. These Chinese territories include Taiwan and the Dongsha, Nansha and Xisha Islands. As the victorious country in World War II, in order to recover the sovereignty of these islands, the Nationalist Government specially organized a fleet composed of decommissioned US warships "aided" by the United States, led by Captain Lin Zun, and named the "Forward" fleet. It is composed of four re-named ships, "Taiping", "Zhongye", "Yongxing" and "Zhongjian". Among them, "Taiping" and "Zhongye" went to the Nansha Islands, and "Yongxing" and "Zhongjian" went to the Xisha Islands, which is also the source and basis for the renaming of these four larger islands. In order to assert China's sovereignty over those Islands in the South China Sea to the world, they not only inspected the Xisha and Nansha Islands, but also erected sovereignty monuments, and left an independent platoon to garrison Yongle Island in Xisha and Taiping Island in Nansha respectively. According to the regional marine meteorological conditions, a team will be stationed in Zhongjian and Zhongye Islands respectively, and they will be stationed from time to time. Please note: At that time, the surrounding "Philippines" was still a colony of the United States. Vietnam and other neighboring countries, were also colony of European countries such as Britain and France, and Hong Kong and Macao were still "leased" by Britain and Portugal. So, the navigation of the sovereignty of the Republic of China can only be carried out on mutually recognized maritime borders. From then until the 70s, the governments of the United States and other colonial countries did not dispute this.
Because the United States has come, countries without sovereignty can only be used as pawns by big countries, and the poor Filipino people still think that the US military is God
China never make in the past and never will. Did China colonize Philippine, Do not forget one of your Sultan still berried in China and well look after and that's what you can claim back if you wish.@@tawengski8380

What kind of protection do you take? Alas, a group of chess pieces played by big countries, I really don‘t know how your public opinion makes you so confident. The United States does not dare to say that this sea area is sure.
Just looking at a map anyone will know which country should control Hawaii, Gibraltar, Alaska, Guam and others. By right the Philippines should belong to China because Luzon is so close to Taiwan, another Chinese province.
Why is the topic written as "Philippines claims", when the news piece then rightly points out that it is about an Chinese claim versus a Philippine right? Language matters!
To clarify, the Philippines' claim on Spratlys (aside from a few natural islands) are not territorial, but simply in context of an EEZ. An EEZ is not territorial water, but enforcement of international laws is within the obligation of the nation or nations controlling an EEZ. If two nations have overlapping EEZ's, then it is their obligation to talk in relation to sharing of resources within the shared EEZ. China, in this regard, is regarded by UNCLOS as an outsider in any such talks regarding Spratly's. The only ones who can are the Philippines, Malaysia, etc, who shares the overlapping EEZ. In regards to Scarborough shoal which is not part of Spratlys, the claims of China (and by extension, Taiwan) was also effectively rejected by the same court ruling. The Philippines is the sole legal claimant of the said shoal, and anyone else is basically an illegal settler. Also, speaking of natural islands, China doesn't even control ANY natural island in the Spratly group of islands. Even Taiwan is ahead of them in terms of controlling a natural island so they are relegated into destroying coral reefs to have some semblance of a claim. And that's the contentious part since reefs cannot be considered as territory, but falls under an EEZ and extended continental shelf which can only be exploited by the nations surrounding it. Taiwan controls the largest island, Vietnam controls 9 large islands, the Philippines controls 7 islands, and Malaysia controls 1. China's claims is basically flimsy. If the Philippines is as aggressive as China, then we can easily militarize any one of those islands. But we're a peace loving country
Any such historical claim has already been addressed in the UNCLOS decision. It's all basically a bunch of story of Chinese tourists setting up camp, alluding to an ambiguous island, and not even claiming that those belongs to China. By that very logic, then Ancient India belongs to China just because they visited it, which is absurd. In regards to the islands, the CCP throughout the decades kept moving which island is which based on convenience. Even the so-called observatories were never found and could never have possibly existed due to size on the rocks (this one specifically referring to Scarborough Shoal, where the CCP claims to have built an observatory in Ancient times) that China has been claiming. As I have said, China neither owns nor controls ANY natural island in the area. What was clarified in the 2016 ruling under UNCLOS, which China is a signatory of, is that a country can only claim territories based on NATURAL ISLANDS. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan are the only ones who controls natural islands in the Spratlys and therefore are the sole countries with legal claim to an EEZ within those territories. China, in effect, is an illegal settler. China's claim of ownership over the sea itself has also been overturned by UNCLOS due to its incompatibility with modern international treaties, laws and agreements. Not to mention, what's been stated in history as part of China's seas has been ambiguous at best, and could also have been simultaneously claimed by any of the other nations. That doesn't make it a valid claim in any modern internationally recognized world order.
The island has been historically written in the maps of the Philippines way before EEZ. The Spaniards drew the oldest map including the both group of islands to be part of the Philippines. If China wants to go to historical maps they don’t have a case either.
As long l all the diplomatic protests aren't exhausted yet, Philippines will continue her efforts to avoid military confrontation. But, if all these diplomatic efforts will fail, Philippines will never hesitate to go to war to defend her sovereignty and territories..
Yes, no doubt and Kurt Campbell of US did not have any different opinion either. This is from the book of Amb. Fu Ying on Huangyan Dao/Scarborough Shoal & why it's Chinese territory Former senior Chinese diplomat's detailed account of history and reasons why it's not Filipino territory, as well as interactions with Kurt Campbell, just nominated for Deputy Secretary of Secretary. It is recognized that the Philippines’ territory was defined in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, between the US and Spain, the 1900 Treaty of Washington between the US and Spain and the 1930 Convention between the US and Great Britain. All three treaties contain explicit clauses defining the territory of the Philippines as being east of the meridian 118° longitude, east of Greenwich. Huangyan Dao is located clearly to the west of that line and has never belonged to the Philippines. The Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines of 1935, the Treaty of General Relations and the Protocol between the US and the Philippines of 1947, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Philippines and the US of 1952, and the Republic Act No. 3046 issued on June 17, 1961 on the baselines of the territorial sea and the Philippines' amendment order of 1968 concerning the baselines of the territorial sea, have all successively reaffirmed the legal effect of the three treaties. They explicitly define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and confirm that neither the base points nor the baselines of its territorial waters include Huangyan Dao. So it can be taken that the Philippine government did not include Huangyan Dao into the scope of its territory or sovereignty. In fact, the Philippine government itself published maps dated 1967, 1981, 1984 and later, and these maps clearly marked Huangyan Dao as outside of its dotted maritime boundary line. The Philippine government did not treat Huangyan Dao as part of its territory either. For example, in a letter to a German radio amateur in February 1992, the then Philippine Ambassador to Germany stated clearly that the Scarborough Shoal or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial sovereignty of the Philippines.[11] Even as recently as October 18, 1994, the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines (NAMRIA) confirmed that the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines were established in Article III of the Treaty of Paris, signed on December 10, 1898. Scarborough (Huangyan Dao) clearly lies outside of those limits.[12] In 1999, I was serving as the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines.

If the Philippines has the USA, Europe, India, Australia and many smaller local countries on their side, doesn’t that isolate China completely? Does even Russia agree? What the Chinese claim is preposterous, that is why their opinion is so outrageous
When you try to threaten CCP with help from EVERYONE, like the First Island Chain, the Five Eyes, the G7, the Democratic Bloc, the Free World, or The World, don't you know that the CCP was confronting almost the whole world in the Cold War? at least it's First World and Second World. You must know about the anti-Soviet Iron Curtain, but have you heard about the anti-CCP Bamboo Curtain in Cold War? It's Western anti-CCP group 1950-1979: South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, British Hong Kong, Portuguese Macau, Philippines, South Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kingdom of Laos, Kingdom of Cambodia, Kingdom of Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Kingdom of Bhutan, India, Pakistan, and of course and anti-CCP NATO, Australia, New Zealand, etc. UN force in Korean War :USA, S.Korea, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, France, the Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, South Africa, Greece, Belgium, Luxembourg, Colombia and Ethiopia provided varying numbers of fighting troops. In addition, Sweden and Denmark each sent a hospital ship, and India, Norway and Italy sent their own field ambulance teams There are also Soviet's anti-Chinese encirclement after Sino-Soviet split since 1959, It's Soviet's anti-Chinese group 1959-1989: the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Afghanistan, India, Vietnam, Laos, and anti-Chinese Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia, Cuba, etc. What I mean is that the United States and the Soviet Union were very happy when they successfully formed anti-PRC containment. They thought that this would be able to isolate, sanction, block, threaten, deter the CCP. It was indeed super suffocating to get contained by both the capitalist world and socialist world led by the United States and the Soviet Union simultaneously from 1960-1980 for 20 years, but nobody remember what was the CCP’s response to such threat? Then CCP attacked India 1962 1967, joined Vietnam War 1964-1975, attacked S.Vietnam 1974, attacked and contained Soviet 1969-1989. when you mean EVERYONE, you need to bring more people, because CCP wasn't weak like in Korean War anymore.

Philippines will fight and defends for whats rights on the WPS and whats for our economic zone. Philippines really won this dispute in the west Philippine Sea because the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration nullified China's nine-dash line claim over the disputed waters.
If they have won, China will have to pay the lawyers and court fees and Mr. Duterte would not have address Obama the ex US president the Son Of A BIT.H and Philippines have to pay all the court fees.

Looking at Ukraine. US did not send any one. Their excuse is do not want to start ww3....they want other countries to poke China and weaken China without direct fight. Very smart
How many times do we have to remind you that this is not about "claims". This is about protecting our rights to exploit and protect our EEZ. Every country has it's own EEZ. That is clearly defined in UNCLOS. China is dIrectly disregarding that. Even calling it as farce and unfair. The UN arbitration tribunal already made a ruling in favor of the Philippines. Now, i'm gonna ask you a question. How far will Germany go to protect it's EEZ? The answer to that question will be the same as ours.

To those who doesn't understand why china ia doing this is thay because they're treating the SCS as a continuous part of their land (i forgot the term for it) example is like a lake, they see the SCS as part of their land like a lake they don't consider it as disputed area, so other countries are forbidden to enter to this body of water and it's not a part of UNCLOS because like i said above its. Like their own lake. There is a very huge problem with this, if china consider the SCS as their own lake then the surrounding land throughout the SCS is also part of its continuous land (like i said above like a lake). So, therefore the Philippines, taiwan, part of japan, Vietnam and some of Malaysia is also part of their territory. They're continuing what japan failed to do during WWII.

Philippines’ story of alleged “ramming” or “bullying” is debunked. The Philippine ship, at a faster speed, is cutting recklessly in front of China Coast Guard. The Philippine ship moves at a faster speed and tries to outrun the Coast Guard, and then cuts in front of the Coast Guard. A close shot may show the impact, but the Philippine ship is at fault for colliding onto the front side portion of China Coast Guard, and cutting in the front China Coast Guard. Another video of the same incident even shows the Philippine ship, after colliding onto China Coast Guard, then clipped the bumper of China Coast Guard. According to the video, the Philippine ship tries to outrun and cuts in front of China Coast Guard. China Coast Guard did not ram the Philippine ship. Longer video of the same incident shows the complete actions of both the Philippine ship and China Coast Guard, and confirms the analysis. Drone video of the same incident confirms the analysis even more. The presentation of the video shows only the point of impact is designed to mislead the audience. So, Philippines’ story of alleged “ramming” or “bullying” is debunked.
The recent serious of action from Philippines along with building additional US military bases all work together to stir up conflicts in the region. That's why no ASEAN country, not even one, supports Philippines' provocation.
What did the 2016 Arbitral Award Say About China's 9-Dash Line (Now 10-dash line)? 1.) Here's an excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 111, Paragraph 261, it stated the following: "The Tribunal concludes that China's claim to historic rights to the living and non-living resources within the 'nine-dash line' is incompatible with the convention to the extent that it exceeds the limits of China's Maritime zones as provided for by the convention." 2.) Here's another excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 111, Paragraph 262, it stated the following: "Any historic rights that china may have had to the living and non-living resources within the 9-dash line were superceded, as a matter of law and as between the Philippines and China by the limits of the maritime zones provided for by the convention." 3.) Here's a third excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 278, Paragraph 692, it stated the following "The Tribunal has found that there is no legal basis for any Chinese historic rights, or other sovereign rights and jurisdiction beyond those provided for in the convention in the waters of the South China Sea encompassed by the 'Nine-dash line'" CONCLUSION: =========== 1.) China's 9-dash line claims are in violation of international law because, under international law, the maximum maritime zone any state can claim is up to 350 Nautical Miles only. as stated in Article 76, Paragraph 6 of UNCLOS. But China's 9-dash line lays claim over resources and other geologic features in south china sea that are well outside of that 350 nautical miles maximum maritime zone limit. take for example china's seizure of "Mischief Reef" from the Philippines back in 1995. Mischief Reef is just 125 Nautical Miles from the Island of Palawan Philippines, which means that it is part of Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). while Mischief Reef's distance from China's southernmost territory, which is the "Hainan" island, is about a thousand kilometers away. 2.) China's Historic Rights were gone, extinguished or replaced by the provisions of UNCLOS when UNCLOS took effect and when China had ratified it. 3.) Since the tribunal has ruled out that there is no legal basis for any of chinese historic rights, all claims or actions of china moving forward, that is based on it's 9-dash line or 10-dash line is already invalid, illegal and not binding in the eyes of international law.

@@lambertgiang Additional Documents That Serve As Strong Evidence in Disproving China's 9-Dash line claim ========================================================================================== The following Provisions of the five 5 Constitutions of the Republic of China from 1912 - 1946 states that China’s Southernmost Territory is “Hainan” Island. and it never extended beyond "Hainan" Island. 1.) Under Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China on March 11, 1912: ========================================================================== On Article 3, Chapter 1 states the following “The territory of the Republic of China is composed of 22 provinces, Inner and Outer Mongolia, Tibet and Qinghai.” (one of the 22 provinces is Guandong which includes "Hainan" Island.) 2.)

Taiwan situation is the closest to Russo-Ukraine relations & china establishing dominance in WPS is strategic to their ambition to invade taiwan. China should respect UNCLOS and what they are doing is illegal in the international law. The waters is miles away from the mainland.

"US supported China’s long history of sovereignty over SCS and provided China/ROC eight warships to administer South China Seas after WWII. The US should be reminded to support Taiwan/ROC/PRC which is China’s sovereignty over SCS."
Nope, don't spout bullshitry of Chinese Historical Falsities, US and Spanish Philippines are already within the Philippines Maritime Boundary, it just does not considered as Land Teritory but just part of the Seas, and only recently that neighboring countries takes interest on it and decided to occupied it, particularly Vietnam and China.
Philippine is the one that uses deadly force on others. It’s the Philippine Coast Guard that had shot to death a Taiwanese fisherman in 2013 in the near Taiping Island which is an island administered by Taiwan. Also, Philippines also stole Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Thitu Island during a storm. However, China has not shoot to death anyone over the incidents between China and Philippines. In addition, two Vietnamese fishermen died in 2017 in a tragic incident with the Philippine Navy. Philippine intent to steal Chinese territories near Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal. Philippine vessels have made multiple and continuous intrusions for the last 20 plus years into Chinese territories near Second Thomas Shoal/Rén'ài Jiāo and Scarborough Shoal/Huáng Yán Dǎo. Philippine have tried to transport construction material to the illegally shipwrecked Sierra Madre outpost for reinforcement on-site or near it. Philippines had already seized Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Thitu Island during a storm. Each China Coast Guard action is an enforcement operation in response to at least one or more intrusions/violations of China’s territorial sovereignty. So, China is not the one doing the alleged “aggressive” action. Philippine is the one that is harassing and provoking.
Okay, continue to spread your delusional man-made historical narrative, the issues of Taiwan there are already resolved, and China's intrusion in the Philippine Waters in West Philippine Sea are documented and all kinds Criminal activities by Foreigners in those waters, all the starts of Illegal occupation of them, starting from making excused of Making Fishing Shelters and sooner full-blown military occupation. Heck, they even pretend and ensured the Ph government and the military then, only to take advantaged of the Domestic Turmoils in the country to pursued their Greedy Teritorial Expansionism of the Philippines Peripheral Teritories and Maritime Waters.
As long as it think the US will support it's cause.remember the philippines has no capacity to go in a conflict or even to defend itself against a super power.and it's not so sure that the US will keep it's words of support.what if it's just a lip service
US supported China’s long history of sovereignty over SCS and provided China/ROC eight warships to administer South China Seas after WWII. The US should be reminded to support Taiwan/ROC/PRC which is China’s sovereignty over SCS.
@13ased_American Therefore, the United States once supported that the South China Sea belongs to China, but because China is no longer a friend now, can the United States change its statement? Sooner or later, China will also say that Hawaii does not belong to the United States, just wait and see.
Right on. "US supported China’s long history of sovereignty over SCS and provided China/ROC eight warships to administer South China Seas after WWII. The US should be reminded to support Taiwan/ROC/PRC which is China’s sovereignty over SCS." Some of the islands were named after the warships sent to admin at the time.
@13ased_American I think it is the other way around. It is US not being friendly with China. China has always been friendly with us until recently. We are the one who has started the trade war tech war cool war with them We are the one who need to "restrain" China. We are the one who make Marcos Bong Bong to provoke China in South China Sea. Also we are not supporting Philippines. We have given them nothing to make their country better but pressure them into giving us 4 additional military bases on the coast to "restrain" China.

The Philippines is a founding member of the United Nations. It pays its debts on time and has a good credit rating. It has almost $100 Billion in it's Central Bank and is building it's infrastructure as it's population is now 113 million people. It has followed international laws dutifully and sends peacekeepers whenever the United Nations asks for them. The 169 member Nations that signed/ratified the UNCLOS need to pressure the entire United Nations to tell China to wake up from it's delusional claims of ownership to over 90% of the South China Sea. If the UN cannot reign in this sitting member of the Security Council that has broken all the laws of the sea, then what is the point of having a United Nations?
The UN is afraid of china.

do the chinese understand the word provocation? they are clearly the aggressor, phillippines only enduring all of those ramming and water cannon.
At the beginning of this year, China invited President Marcos as the first leader to visit China and signed orders worth tens of billions of dollars. China hopes to continue the friendly relations between China and the Philippines under President Duterte.
However, unlike President Duterte, the hundreds of millions of dollars in property of the Marquez family are stored in the US, so he must obey the orders of the Americans to preserve his family's property.
The conflict began over an attempt by the Philippines to deliver reinforcement materials to the Sierra Madre. China did not intercept ships carrying food or fresh water, only ships carrying construction materials.
The claimant countries around the South China Sea have not supported the Philippines. Everyone knows that peace is the most important thing at the moment. The Philippines' behavior only protected the president's personal interests, but harmed the interests of the Philippines as a nation. Do Filipinos really think that the US will go to war with a nuclear power over an island or even the entire Philippines? The Philippines is just a tool used by the US to provoke China. The confrontation between the Chinese and US navies in the South China Sea in 2016 ended with the withdrawal of two US aircraft carrier battle groups.
Its a stance they have to maintain for their claims just like we do ours.
They perfectly understand what they are doing.
No. As Chinese has stronger milliatry in south china sea， they can just ignore all diplomatic protests bacause no nation really want to get involved in total war with china. Thier milltary strength is the best diplomatic policy. If Philippine want to get any part of territory in south china sea，
it must defeat PLA navy first.

China knows the meaning of provocation because the US has been provoking China in the Taiwan Straits and now the SCS.

India made sure that the oil supplies to neighbors like Bangladesh, Srilanka and Nepal weren't disrupted. Also, after west left Afghanistan in hands of Taliban without sufficient resources and blocked all foreign funding or Afghani money from abroad, India has been sending huge aid with tons of grains, medicines, vaccine and other supplies as usual. Recently also supplied aid to Gaza. These are just some of the many examples.

Philippines has no other choice but to defend its territory. With the way PH govt is supporting the PH Navy and CG now , it is serious and that it is wiling to go as far as it needs to...the good thing is PH allies are also helping and supporting PH to be able to do that.

At the beginning of this year, China invited President Marcos as the first leader to visit China and signed orders worth tens of billions of dollars. China hopes to continue the friendly relations between China and the Philippines under President Duterte.
However, unlike President Duterte, the hundreds of millions of dollars in property of the Marquez family are stored in the US, so he must obey the orders of the Americans to preserve his family's property.
The conflict began over an attempt by the Philippines to deliver reinforcement materials to the Sierra Madre. China did not intercept ships carrying food or fresh water, only ships carrying construction materials.
The claimant countries around the South China Sea have not supported the Philippines. Everyone knows that peace is the most important thing at the moment. The Philippines' behavior only protected the president's personal interests, but harmed the interests of the Philippines as a nation. Do Filipinos really think that the US will go to war with a nuclear power over an island or even the entire Philippines? The Philippines is just a tool used by the US to provoke China. The confrontation between the Chinese and US navies in the South China Sea in 2016 ended with the withdrawal of two US aircraft carrier battle groups.
it's not the South china Sea, but the philippines' exclusive economic zone, which is the west Philippine sea
The Philippines is an inseparable part of China's territory. Who dares to bully the Philippines after returning to China?

It's Philippine Sea...

Dao/Scarborough Shoal & why it's
Chinese territory
Former senior Chinese diplomat's detailed account of history and reasons why
it's not Filipino territory, as well as interactions with Kurt Campbell, just
nominated for Deputy Secretary of Secretary.
It is recognized that the Philippines’ territory was defined in the 1898 Treaty
of Paris, between the US and Spain, the 1900 Treaty of Washington between
the US and Spain and the 1930 Convention between the US and Great Britain.
All three treaties contain explicit clauses defining the territory of the
Philippines as being east of the meridian 118° longitude, east of Greenwich.
Huangyan Dao is located clearly to the west of that line and has never
belonged to the Philippines. The Constitution of the Republic of the
Philippines of 1935, the Treaty of General Relations and the Protocol between
the US and the Philippines of 1947, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the
Philippines and the US of 1952, and the Republic Act No. 3046 issued on
June 17, 1961 on the baselines of the territorial sea and the Philippines'
amendment order of 1968 concerning the baselines of the territorial
sea, have all successively reaffirmed the legal effect of the three treaties.
They explicitly define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and confirm that
neither the base points nor the baselines of its territorial waters include
Huangyan Dao. So it can be taken that the Philippine government did not
include Huangyan Dao into the scope of its territory or sovereignty. In fact,
the Philippine government itself published maps dated 1967, 1981, 1984 and
later, and these maps clearly marked Huangyan Dao as outside of its dotted
maritime boundary line.
The Philippine government did not treat Huangyan Dao as part of its territory
either. For example, in a letter to a German radio amateur in February 1992,
the then Philippine Ambassador to Germany stated clearly that the
Scarborough Shoal or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial
sovereignty of the Philippines.[11] Even as recently as October 18, 1994, the
National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines
(NAMRIA) confirmed that the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the
Republic of the Philippines were established in Article III of the Treaty of
Paris, signed on December 10, 1898. Scarborough (Huangyan Dao) clearly
lies outside of those limits.[12] In 1999, I was serving as the Chinese
Ambassador to the Philippines. One day, I was invited to speak to the
International Press Club in Manila in the wake of a fishery dispute near
Huangyan Dao. On my way to the club, I stopped at a newspaper stand and
bought a map published by the NAMRIA. During the interview with Philippine
and foreign journalists, I reviewed the map with them, and it was agreed by all
that Huangyan Dao does indeed fall outside of Philippine territory.
There's nothing else for the Philippines 🇵🇭 to settle with China.
Hague Tribunal already settled it by a ruling in 2016.
- Whether China likes it or not, the ruling is *final and legally binding.*
UNCLOS was ratified in 1982. China claim dates back to 1946. A tribunal that China does not recognize ruled for the Philippines. So the Philippines have the right to enforce their claim against China. Good luck enforcing it.
Going to the Hague was naive, now the Philippines is in a confrontation with China. Even if the US fights with the Philippines, the fight will be in the Philippines. And the US is itching to start a war with China, congratulations on becoming US latest patsy.
No less than pres. Duterte said that the Hague ruling is useless and a mere piece of paper.
China is not a party to the International Criminal Court and does not have to accept the judgment of the Hague Tribunal.
In addition, is the judgment of the International Court of Justice in The Hague necessarily fair?
It doesn't matter whether China accepts the ruling or not. It's still a thief, no matter what China thinks.
@user-dc7zy4kl6w Good thing this isn't the ICC.
It's the PCA (Permanent Court of Arbitration), to which the PRC is actually a party. And they made the ruling under the UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea), which the PRC ratified in 1996.
So China agreed to abide by this, regardless of whether you or they think it to be fair. If they don't want to be a part of the Convention, then let them be honest and withdraw from it formally instead of this farce of only following it when it suits them.
*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
This is false, every country has an economic zone even China
Gonna have to make a small correction on that last point: China 100% has ownership of the Qiongzhou Strait... and that's it.

The international law by its nature cannot pass ruling on matters of national sovereignty, otherwise Palestine would be a nation by now. International law only applies to nation that agrees the said law should apply to that nation, China like all other nations have the right to refuse.
fun fact, the south sea 11 dash line was drawn by the kmt/roc, plus nobody opposed it at 1948 when it was passed. the prc reduced the 11 dased line to a 9/10 dash line. neighboring countries didn't have a puss with it until oil was discovered.
China certainly has undisputed sovereign ovre the 11 dash as a matter of fact.
Fun fact: the Bellin map from 1734, clearly depicts the Spratly Islands and other disputed island within the Philippine maritime domain. And yes, internationally recognized not only by the European but also the Asia at that time.
China's government has been aggressively asserting its territorial claims beyond its rightful maritime borders, particularly with regards to areas that are geographically distant. They have seemingly underestimated the Philippines due to its small size, weaker military and economy. However, the international community is aware of the suffering and oppression experienced by the Philippines and believes that there will come a time when China's actions must cease.
Philipine is the Gresser try to blockade China in the south China sea withthe US backong
These countries around the South China Sea took advantage of China's weakness in the last century to steal these islands and reefs, and now that the Chinese have come back to take back what belongs to them, you guys are there again saying that China is too aggressive
Taiwan has claimed the 11-dash line from 1945 to today because this was the order of World War II. At that time, the West and the Soviet Union allowed the ROC navy to take over the South China Sea because of the Chinese contribution in World War II. PRC inherited it from ROC after 1949. Why don't you blame pro-West ROC Taiwan? why not tell Taiwan to give up 11-dash line claim, Taiping and Dongsha first?
When the CCP attacked the US military in 1950, the Indian army in 1962, and the Soviet army in 1969, was it because they were small countries? No, that was when the United States, India, and the Soviet Union were at their peak. Your ignorance and self-confidence would eventually make you bear the price of war.

Today Taiwan still claims 11-dash line since 1945, controls Taiping island and Dongsha island, but Thitu Island was lost in the Philippines due to storm in 1971, Taiwan wanted to take back but canceled military operation against the Philippines under pressure from the united states, ROC Taiwan did not give up the claim on Thitu island until today. PRC just inherited same claim from ROC after 1949, but PRC changed from 11-dash line to 9-dash line after CCP gave Bach Long Vi island as gift to North Vietnam for monitoring US military reconnaissance aircraft.
When Chinese claimed 11-dash line, British Malaya, American Philippines, French Vietnam, Dutch Indonesia, all Southeast Asian countries were Western colonies in 1945. Therefore, when the West masters gave the South China Sea as a gift to the friend ROC, the Southeast Asians as slaves couldn't and didn't oppose 11-dash line claim. So why did the United States gave the South China Sea to ally Chinese instead of the ally Filipino? Because The post-war order is always decided by the winners according to contributions during the war and only the big contributors can distribute the spoils, because ROC suffered tens of millions of casualties, KMT/CCP wiped out more Japanese than all of Southeast Asia combined, the Chinese persisted against Japan until Japan surrendered in 1945, all Southeast Asians and Western colonial troops didn't resist long enough but surrendered to Japan in 1942. Therefore, the ROC is the only independent country in Asia that made the greatest contribution to World War II. That’s why the international community has acquiesced in China's claims to the South China Sea, or you tell me why?

The Philippines winning the Hague-UNCLOS arbitral ruling strengthens the rule of law which China continue to violate insisting on it's 9 Dashline claim. The ASEAN including US, Canada, Japan, Australia, SoKor, UK, France, Taiwan, India have expressed their support for the Philippines which were intended to send a message on Beijing to adhere to the Law & Sea Code agreement of which China itself is one of the signatory.

Taiwan (Republic of China) govt states "will never accept (the arbitration), not legally binding on the Republic of China“. President Tsai Ing-wen sent a warship around the islands one day after the arbitration on 13 July 2016 to assert sovereignty. Are you inventing some facts here?

A Coast Guard is supposed to protect their coast lines yet the Chinese coast guard is in Scarborough Shoal which is 594 nautical miles (1,100km) from China's Hainan Island while the Philippines is only 120 nautical miles (222km) which is the allowed EEZ under UNCLOS. However you look at it there no excuse for it.
Philippines needs to work with the USA, Japan and other democracies to move manufacturing from China to the Philippines. Long term this will give the Philippines the economic strength to counter China.
Develop mutual defense pacts with Japan, Korea, Indonesia and India.
The problem is the 60/40 ownership enshrined in the Philippines constitution, making other countries more attractive for FDI. This was set up to protect the Philippines Oligarchy, which are mostly ethnic Chinese.
@@tlevans62 I did not know that. Does that apply to foreign companies with branch plants or offices operating in the Philippines?
Yes, it's part of the Constitution. Branches or Representative Offices have very limited capacity to actually operate or compete with Philippines majority owned companies, unless they operate in a Free Zone. There's a number of other issues about restrictions on retail, media, education etc, so it's all locally controlled. Very few countries ever enshrine corporate ownership issues in a Constitution, they usually leave it up to the Gov't to use legislation to help stimulate the economy. It's why most of the FDI in ASEAN goes to Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, instead of the Philippines. Also, the incredible amount of red tape, and corruption in various Gov't Departments, makes it an unattractive place to invest. Most Gov't Operations in the Philippines are designed to be inefficient, so that as many fees as possible can be collected by various departments, to fund the Gov't. They can't rely on income tax. OFW remittances aren't taxed, and are used to fuel spending in the retail sector and so the Country relies on consumption spending to fuel growth. The Philippines has very little manufacturing, and its biggest export is human beings. In most other countries, the Gov't tries to assist the private sector to succeed, so that jobs are plentiful at home, and taxes are paid, but here, in the Philippines, the Gov't actually competes with the private sector for money and is a major employer, and most of the middle class live overseas. The Oligarchs work hand in glove with the Gov't to ensure they never face competition at home, so nothing improves for the poor Filipino.
@@tlevans62 It explains why, despite all the conditions for a thriving economy, the Philippines is stagnating. Let's hope they have the political will to change their constitution
Totally agree. It just requires the political will to make it happen.
We're used to defending our country with our lives regardless of the outcome.
Why didn't the Philippines defend itself against Spanish colonization? Why didn't the Philippines defend itself against US colonisation? The Philippines is better off remaining as a colony.😂😂😂

The Philippines abandoned the USA in 1991. They kicked them out of their huge bases in Subic Bay and Clark. Scarborough shoal is less than 150 miles from Subic. If the American fleet was still there, there is no way the Chinese would have claimed it as their own.
Can They Abandon Philippine, Yeah Philippine Existing Are Not Important To American But Sea Route Are More Important Unless If American And Allied Want To Cross Atlantic To Reach They Allied In Middle East And Europe
China's defense budget is $700 billion. Philippines' defense budget is $4 billion. Philippines doesn't have the capability to confront China. A war with China could mean loss of Palawan to China. Mexico lost 55% of its territory to the U.S. from its war with the United States. Same thing could happen to Philippines.
it cant even confront with taiwan army.
Filipino is just playing game ordered by american aggressive army
let's set the record straight, if DW thinks it is wrong, proved it.
In 1945, at the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, be ordered to return the Chinese territory it had occupied in past ages. These Chinese territories include Taiwan and the Dongsha, Nansha and Xisha Islands.
As the victorious country in World War II, in order to recover the sovereignty of these islands, the Nationalist Government specially organized a fleet composed of decommissioned US warships "aided" by the United States, led by Captain Lin Zun, and named the "Forward" fleet. It is composed of four re-named ships, "Taiping", "Zhongye", "Yongxing" and "Zhongjian". Among them, "Taiping" and "Zhongye" went to the Nansha Islands, and "Yongxing" and "Zhongjian" went to the Xisha Islands, which is also the source and basis for the renaming of these four larger islands.
In order to assert China's sovereignty over those Islands in the South China Sea to the world, they not only inspected the Xisha and Nansha Islands, but also erected sovereignty monuments, and left an independent platoon to garrison Yongle Island in Xisha and Taiping Island in Nansha respectively. According to the regional marine meteorological conditions, a team will be stationed in Zhongjian and Zhongye Islands respectively, and they will be stationed from time to time.
Please note: At that time, the surrounding "Philippines" was still a colony of the United States. Vietnam and other neighboring countries, were also colony of European countries such as Britain and France, and Hong Kong and Macao were still "leased" by Britain and Portugal.
So, the navigation of the sovereignty of the Republic of China can only be carried out on mutually recognized maritime borders. From then until the 70s, the governments of the United States and other colonial countries did not dispute this.
there was a time when Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino fishermen all fish together in those waters peacefully. Why did it have to come to this.
美国来了😂
Because the United States has come, countries without sovereignty can only be used as pawns by big countries, and the poor Filipino people still think that the US military is God

Just looking at a map anyone will know which country should control Hawaii, Gibraltar, Alaska, Guam and others. By right the Philippines should belong to China because Luzon is so close to Taiwan, another Chinese province.
China No Doubt.
There's a proverb saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and the Chinese coastguard will ram his boat."
Why is the topic written as "Philippines claims", when the news piece then rightly points out that it is about an Chinese claim versus a Philippine right? Language matters!
Its not a claim for the Philippines...its a fact that it is a part of the Philippine EEZ...

Philippines territory is limited by the treaty of Paris. Philippines already illegal occupied some islands in South China Sea
That's fact. However US can cover up facts or manipulate facts or create new facts.
is that so surprising?
According to the Americans, the Spratlys was not Philippine territory when the Philippines became independence in 1946.
That Sea is Philippine Sea....Intsek
Nope, your wrong on many things and only right at few ones.
To clarify, the Philippines' claim on Spratlys (aside from a few natural islands) are not territorial, but simply in context of an EEZ. An EEZ is not territorial water, but enforcement of international laws is within the obligation of the nation or nations controlling an EEZ. If two nations have overlapping EEZ's, then it is their obligation to talk in relation to sharing of resources within the shared EEZ. China, in this regard, is regarded by UNCLOS as an outsider in any such talks regarding Spratly's. The only ones who can are the Philippines, Malaysia, etc, who shares the overlapping EEZ. In regards to Scarborough shoal which is not part of Spratlys, the claims of China (and by extension, Taiwan) was also effectively rejected by the same court ruling. The Philippines is the sole legal claimant of the said shoal, and anyone else is basically an illegal settler.
Also, speaking of natural islands, China doesn't even control ANY natural island in the Spratly group of islands. Even Taiwan is ahead of them in terms of controlling a natural island so they are relegated into destroying coral reefs to have some semblance of a claim. And that's the contentious part since reefs cannot be considered as territory, but falls under an EEZ and extended continental shelf which can only be exploited by the nations surrounding it.
Taiwan controls the largest island, Vietnam controls 9 large islands, the Philippines controls 7 islands, and Malaysia controls 1. China's claims is basically flimsy. If the Philippines is as aggressive as China, then we can easily militarize any one of those islands. But we're a peace loving country
Any such historical claim has already been addressed in the UNCLOS decision. It's all basically a bunch of story of Chinese tourists setting up camp, alluding to an ambiguous island, and not even claiming that those belongs to China. By that very logic, then Ancient India belongs to China just because they visited it, which is absurd. In regards to the islands, the CCP throughout the decades kept moving which island is which based on convenience. Even the so-called observatories were never found and could never have possibly existed due to size on the rocks (this one specifically referring to Scarborough Shoal, where the CCP claims to have built an observatory in Ancient times) that China has been claiming. As I have said, China neither owns nor controls ANY natural island in the area. What was clarified in the 2016 ruling under UNCLOS, which China is a signatory of, is that a country can only claim territories based on NATURAL ISLANDS. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan are the only ones who controls natural islands in the Spratlys and therefore are the sole countries with legal claim to an EEZ within those territories. China, in effect, is an illegal settler. China's claim of ownership over the sea itself has also been overturned by UNCLOS due to its incompatibility with modern international treaties, laws and agreements. Not to mention, what's been stated in history as part of China's seas has been ambiguous at best, and could also have been simultaneously claimed by any of the other nations. That doesn't make it a valid claim in any modern internationally recognized world order.
The island has been historically written in the maps of the Philippines way before EEZ. The Spaniards drew the oldest map including the both group of islands to be part of the Philippines. If China wants to go to historical maps they don’t have a case either.
As long l all the diplomatic protests aren't exhausted yet, Philippines will continue her efforts to avoid military confrontation. But, if all these diplomatic efforts will fail, Philippines will never hesitate to go to war to defend her sovereignty and territories..
Thank you for your cooperation. US needs you badly to support our inference in the region.
You should, long overdue.
I dare China to arrest Philippine ship in that area. Why they can't do it if they have sovereignty to that area?
What 'claims'? those are their territories.
Yes, no doubt and Kurt Campbell of US did not have any different opinion either.
This is from the book of
Amb. Fu Ying on Huangyan
Dao/Scarborough Shoal & why it's
Chinese territory
Former senior Chinese diplomat's detailed account of history and reasons why
it's not Filipino territory, as well as interactions with Kurt Campbell, just
nominated for Deputy Secretary of Secretary.
It is recognized that the Philippines’ territory was defined in the 1898 Treaty
of Paris, between the US and Spain, the 1900 Treaty of Washington between
the US and Spain and the 1930 Convention between the US and Great Britain.
All three treaties contain explicit clauses defining the territory of the
Philippines as being east of the meridian 118° longitude, east of Greenwich.
Huangyan Dao is located clearly to the west of that line and has never
belonged to the Philippines. The Constitution of the Republic of the
Philippines of 1935, the Treaty of General Relations and the Protocol between
the US and the Philippines of 1947, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the
Philippines and the US of 1952, and the Republic Act No. 3046 issued on
June 17, 1961 on the baselines of the territorial sea and the Philippines'
amendment order of 1968 concerning the baselines of the territorial
sea, have all successively reaffirmed the legal effect of the three treaties.
They explicitly define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and confirm that
neither the base points nor the baselines of its territorial waters include
Huangyan Dao. So it can be taken that the Philippine government did not
include Huangyan Dao into the scope of its territory or sovereignty. In fact,
the Philippine government itself published maps dated 1967, 1981, 1984 and
later, and these maps clearly marked Huangyan Dao as outside of its dotted
maritime boundary line.
The Philippine government did not treat Huangyan Dao as part of its territory
either. For example, in a letter to a German radio amateur in February 1992,
the then Philippine Ambassador to Germany stated clearly that the
Scarborough Shoal or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial
sovereignty of the Philippines.[11] Even as recently as October 18, 1994, the
National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines
(NAMRIA) confirmed that the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the
Republic of the Philippines were established in Article III of the Treaty of
Paris, signed on December 10, 1898. Scarborough (Huangyan Dao) clearly
lies outside of those limits.[12] In 1999, I was serving as the Chinese
Ambassador to the Philippines. One day, I was invited to speak to the
International Press Club in Manila in the wake of a fishery dispute near
Huangyan Dao. On my way to the club, I stopped at a newspaper stand and
bought a map published by the NAMRIA. During the interview with Philippine
and foreign journalists, I reviewed the map with them, and it was agreed by all
that Huangyan Dao does indeed fall outside of Philippine territory.
how to initiate a rescue? Can't find west philippines sea in the International Maritime Organization map in case of Disaster in the sea?????
If the Philippines has the USA, Europe, India, Australia and many smaller local countries on their side, doesn’t that isolate China completely? Does even Russia agree? What the Chinese claim is preposterous, that is why their opinion is so outrageous
菲律宾建立才几年历史?中国古代开启航海时代宣布对南海拥有主权的时候，你们那时候还是一群野人，你们那时候没有一点海洋意识，现在你们知道了，可惜实力太弱了，中国南海舰队可以消灭菲律宾海军几十次了😂😂😅
When you try to threaten CCP with help from EVERYONE, like the First Island Chain, the Five Eyes, the G7, the Democratic Bloc, the Free World, or The World, don't you know that the CCP was confronting almost the whole world in the Cold War? at least it's First World and Second World.
You must know about the anti-Soviet Iron Curtain, but have you heard about the anti-CCP Bamboo Curtain in Cold War?
It's Western anti-CCP group 1950-1979: South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, British Hong Kong, Portuguese Macau, Philippines, South Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Kingdom of Laos, Kingdom of Cambodia, Kingdom of Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Kingdom of Bhutan, India, Pakistan, and of course and anti-CCP NATO, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
UN force in Korean War :USA, S.Korea, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, France, the Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, South Africa, Greece, Belgium, Luxembourg, Colombia and Ethiopia provided varying numbers of fighting troops. In addition, Sweden and Denmark each sent a hospital ship, and India, Norway and Italy sent their own field ambulance teams
There are also Soviet's anti-Chinese encirclement after Sino-Soviet split since 1959,
It's Soviet's anti-Chinese group 1959-1989: the Soviet Union, Mongolia, Afghanistan, India, Vietnam, Laos, and anti-Chinese Eastern Europe, Yugoslavia, Cuba, etc.
What I mean is that the United States and the Soviet Union were very happy when they successfully formed anti-PRC containment. They thought that this would be able to isolate, sanction, block, threaten, deter the CCP. It was indeed super suffocating to get contained by both the capitalist world and socialist world led by the United States and the Soviet Union simultaneously from 1960-1980 for 20 years, but nobody remember what was the CCP’s response to such threat?
Then CCP attacked India 1962 1967, joined Vietnam War 1964-1975, attacked S.Vietnam 1974, attacked and contained Soviet 1969-1989.
when you mean EVERYONE, you need to bring more people, because CCP wasn't weak like in Korean War anymore.
Precisely, that is why it is so outrageous.

Tell the person in charge that you won‘t.。
How many times do we have to remind you that this is not about "claims". This is about protecting our rights to exploit and protect our EEZ. Every country has it's own EEZ. That is clearly defined in UNCLOS. China is dIrectly disregarding that. Even calling it as farce and unfair. The UN arbitration tribunal already made a ruling in favor of the Philippines. Now, i'm gonna ask you a question. How far will Germany go to protect it's EEZ? The answer to that question will be the same as ours.

To those who doesn't understand why china ia doing this is thay because they're treating the SCS as a continuous part of their land (i forgot the term for it) example is like a lake, they see the SCS as part of their land like a lake they don't consider it as disputed area, so other countries are forbidden to enter to this body of water and it's not a part of UNCLOS because like i said above its. Like their own lake. There is a very huge problem with this, if china consider the SCS as their own lake then the surrounding land throughout the SCS is also part of its continuous land (like i said above like a lake). So, therefore the Philippines, taiwan, part of japan, Vietnam and some of Malaysia is also part of their territory.
They're continuing what japan failed to do during WWII.
Yes, they are so decisively on this issue. Why?
This is from the book of
Amb. Fu Ying on Huangyan
Dao/Scarborough Shoal & why it's
Chinese territory
Former senior Chinese diplomat's detailed account of history and reasons why
it's not Filipino territory, as well as interactions with Kurt Campbell, just
nominated for Deputy Secretary of Secretary.
It is recognized that the Philippines’ territory was defined in the 1898 Treaty
of Paris, between the US and Spain, the 1900 Treaty of Washington between
the US and Spain and the 1930 Convention between the US and Great Britain.
All three treaties contain explicit clauses defining the territory of the
Philippines as being east of the meridian 118° longitude, east of Greenwich.
Huangyan Dao is located clearly to the west of that line and has never
belonged to the Philippines. The Constitution of the Republic of the
Philippines of 1935, the Treaty of General Relations and the Protocol between
the US and the Philippines of 1947, the Mutual Defense Treaty between the
Philippines and the US of 1952, and the Republic Act No. 3046 issued on
June 17, 1961 on the baselines of the territorial sea and the Philippines'
amendment order of 1968 concerning the baselines of the territorial
sea, have all successively reaffirmed the legal effect of the three treaties.
They explicitly define the territorial limits of the Philippines, and confirm that
neither the base points nor the baselines of its territorial waters include
Huangyan Dao. So it can be taken that the Philippine government did not
include Huangyan Dao into the scope of its territory or sovereignty. In fact,
the Philippine government itself published maps dated 1967, 1981, 1984 and
later, and these maps clearly marked Huangyan Dao as outside of its dotted
maritime boundary line.
The Philippine government did not treat Huangyan Dao as part of its territory
either. For example, in a letter to a German radio amateur in February 1992,
the then Philippine Ambassador to Germany stated clearly that the
Scarborough Shoal or Huangyan Dao does not fall within the territorial
sovereignty of the Philippines.[11] Even as recently as October 18, 1994, the
National Mapping and Resource Information Authority of the Philippines
(NAMRIA) confirmed that the territorial boundaries and sovereignty of the
Republic of the Philippines were established in Article III of the Treaty of
Paris, signed on December 10, 1898. Scarborough (Huangyan Dao) clearly
lies outside of those limits.[12] In 1999, I was serving as the Chinese
Ambassador to the Philippines. One day, I was invited to speak to the
International Press Club in Manila in the wake of a fishery dispute near
Huangyan Dao. On my way to the club, I stopped at a newspaper stand and
bought a map published by the NAMRIA. During the interview with Philippine
and foreign journalists, I reviewed the map with them, and it was agreed by all
that Huangyan Dao does indeed fall outside of Philippine territory.
Philippines’ story of alleged “ramming” or “bullying” is debunked. The Philippine ship, at a faster speed, is cutting recklessly in front of China Coast Guard. The Philippine ship moves at a faster speed and tries to outrun the Coast Guard, and then cuts in front of the Coast Guard. A close shot may show the impact, but the Philippine ship is at fault for colliding onto the front side portion of China Coast Guard, and cutting in the front China Coast Guard. Another video of the same incident even shows the Philippine ship, after colliding onto China Coast Guard, then clipped the bumper of China Coast Guard. According to the video, the Philippine ship tries to outrun and cuts in front of China Coast Guard. China Coast Guard did not ram the Philippine ship. Longer video of the same incident shows the complete actions of both the Philippine ship and China Coast Guard, and confirms the analysis. Drone video of the same incident confirms the analysis even more. The presentation of the video shows only the point of impact is designed to mislead the audience. So, Philippines’ story of alleged “ramming” or “bullying” is debunked.
The recent serious of action from Philippines along with building additional US military bases all work together to stir up conflicts in the region. That's why no ASEAN country, not even one, supports Philippines' provocation.
What did the 2016 Arbitral Award Say About China's 9-Dash Line (Now 10-dash line)?
1.) Here's an excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 111, Paragraph 261, it stated the following:
"The Tribunal concludes that China's claim to historic rights to the living and non-living resources
within the 'nine-dash line' is incompatible with the convention to the extent that it exceeds the
limits of China's Maritime zones as provided for by the convention."
2.) Here's another excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 111, Paragraph 262, it stated the following:
"Any historic rights that china may have had to the living and non-living resources within the 9-dash line
were superceded, as a matter of law and as between the Philippines and China by the limits of the maritime zones
provided for by the convention."
3.) Here's a third excerpt from the 2016 Arbitral Award, on Page 278, Paragraph 692, it stated the following
"The Tribunal has found that there is no legal basis for any Chinese historic rights, or other
sovereign rights and jurisdiction beyond those provided for in the convention in the waters of
the South China Sea encompassed by the 'Nine-dash line'"
CONCLUSION:
===========
1.) China's 9-dash line claims are in violation of international law because, under international law, the maximum
maritime zone any state can claim is up to 350 Nautical Miles only. as stated in Article 76, Paragraph 6 of UNCLOS.
But China's 9-dash line lays claim over resources and other geologic features in south china sea that are well outside
of that 350 nautical miles maximum maritime zone limit. take for example china's seizure of "Mischief Reef" from the
Philippines back in 1995. Mischief Reef is just 125 Nautical Miles from the Island of Palawan Philippines, which means
that it is part of Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). while Mischief Reef's distance from China's southernmost
territory, which is the "Hainan" island, is about a thousand kilometers away.
2.) China's Historic Rights were gone, extinguished or replaced by the provisions of UNCLOS when UNCLOS took effect and
when China had ratified it.
3.) Since the tribunal has ruled out that there is no legal basis for any of chinese historic rights, all claims or actions
of china moving forward, that is based on it's 9-dash line or 10-dash line is already invalid, illegal and not binding
in the eyes of international law.

@@lambertgiang Additional Documents That Serve As Strong Evidence in Disproving China's 9-Dash line claim
==========================================================================================
The following Provisions of the five 5 Constitutions of the Republic of China from 1912 - 1946 states that
China’s Southernmost Territory is “Hainan” Island. and it never extended beyond "Hainan" Island.
1.) Under Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China on March 11, 1912:
==========================================================================
On Article 3, Chapter 1 states the following
“The territory of the Republic of China is composed of 22 provinces, Inner and Outer Mongolia,
Tibet and Qinghai.” (one of the 22 provinces is Guandong which includes "Hainan" Island.)
2.) Constitution of the Republic Of China on May 1, 1914:
========================================
On Article 3, Chapter 1 states
“The territory of the Republic of China continues to be the territory
of the former empire.”
3.) Constitution of the Republic Of China on October 10, 1924:
============================================
On Article 3, Chapter 2 states
“The territory of the Republic of China continues to be the territory
of the former empire.”
4.) Constitution of the Republic Of China in January 1, 1937:
===========================================
states the following
“The territory of the Republic of China continues to be the
territory it owned in the past.” (referring to Qing Dynasty)
5.) Constitution of the Republic Of China in 1946:
==============================================
On Article 4, Chapter 1 states the following
“The territory of the Republic Of China shall be that encompassed by it’s traditional boundaries”
CONCLUSION:
============
1.) Thus, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the new Republic of China reiterated to the world that its territory
remained the same as the territory of the Qing Dynasty, with Hainan Island as China’s southernmost territory.
2.) All Historic Maps during the Qing Dynasty period shows that China's southernmost territory is "Hainan" island
and it never extended beyond that.
3.) The 9-dash line is a recent fabrication of china, a claim to try expand it's territory at the expense of encroaching
on the territory of it's other Neighbor states like Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia and most serious of
all, China's 9-dash line claim is Violating International Law or UNCLOS, which is the constitution for the seas and
oceans of the world.

I think Ukraine situation is very different because China do not own any land and has nothing to do with filipino culture unlike Russia where in the past they are one with Ukraine. Taiwan situation is the closest to Russo-Ukraine relations & china establishing dominance in WPS is strategic to their ambition to invade taiwan. China should respect UNCLOS and what they are doing is illegal in the international law. The waters is miles away from the mainland.
Ukraine was never one with Russia. The Russians conquered Ukraine and subjugated it using terror and mass murder. Now, Ukraine is free and is making it very clear that they have no intention of being one with Russia.

Nope, don't spout bullshitry of Chinese Historical Falsities, US and Spanish Philippines are already within the Philippines Maritime Boundary, it just does not considered as Land Teritory but just part of the Seas, and only recently that neighboring countries takes interest on it and decided to occupied it, particularly Vietnam and China.
a cat playing with a mouse, what will come out of the game for the mouse
Philippine is the one that uses deadly force on others. It’s the Philippine Coast Guard that had shot to death a Taiwanese fisherman in 2013 in the near Taiping Island which is an island administered by Taiwan. Also, Philippines also stole Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Thitu Island during a storm. However, China has not shoot to death anyone over the incidents between China and Philippines. In addition, two Vietnamese fishermen died in 2017 in a tragic incident with the Philippine Navy.
Philippine intent to steal Chinese territories near Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal. Philippine vessels have made multiple and continuous intrusions for the last 20 plus years into Chinese territories near Second Thomas Shoal/Rén'ài Jiāo and Scarborough Shoal/Huáng Yán Dǎo. Philippine have tried to transport construction material to the illegally shipwrecked Sierra Madre outpost for reinforcement on-site or near it. Philippines had already seized Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Thitu Island during a storm.
Each China Coast Guard action is an enforcement operation in response to at least one or more intrusions/violations of China’s territorial sovereignty. So, China is not the one doing the alleged “aggressive” action. Philippine is the one that is harassing and provoking.
Okay, continue to spread your delusional man-made historical narrative, the issues of Taiwan there are already resolved, and China's intrusion in the Philippine Waters in West Philippine Sea are documented and all kinds Criminal activities by Foreigners in those waters, all the starts of Illegal occupation of them, starting from making excused of Making Fishing Shelters and sooner full-blown military occupation. Heck, they even pretend and ensured the Ph government and the military then, only to take advantaged of the Domestic Turmoils in the country to pursued their Greedy Teritorial Expansionism of the Philippines Peripheral Teritories and Maritime Waters.
As long as it think the US will support it's cause.remember the philippines has no capacity to go in a conflict or even to defend itself against a super power.and it's not so sure that the US will keep it's words of support.what if it's just a lip service
I stand with Philippine, from Thailand
US supported China’s long history of sovereignty over SCS and provided China/ROC eight warships to administer South China Seas after WWII. The US should be reminded to support Taiwan/ROC/PRC which is China’s sovereignty over SCS.
@13ased_American Therefore, the United States once supported that the South China Sea belongs to China, but because China is no longer a friend now, can the United States change its statement? Sooner or later, China will also say that Hawaii does not belong to the United States, just wait and see.
Right on. "US supported China’s long history of sovereignty over SCS and provided China/ROC eight warships to administer South China Seas after WWII. The US should be reminded to support Taiwan/ROC/PRC which is China’s sovereignty over SCS." Some of the islands were named after the warships sent to admin at the time.
@13ased_American I think it is the other way around. It is US not being friendly with China. China has always been friendly with us until recently. We are the one who has started the trade war tech war cool war with them We are the one who need to "restrain" China. We are the one who make Marcos Bong Bong to provoke China in South China Sea. Also we are not supporting Philippines. We have given them nothing to make their country better but pressure them into giving us 4 additional military bases on the coast to "restrain" China.
Nope, your wrong.
