Our statement regarding UNCLOS when we signed is very clear. Please read that. Also the tribunal is not a court. It is a profit driven organization that used UNCLOS to settle dispute when two parties agreed. Since one is not, obviously this make this tribunal abuse of power pretty obvious.
When you used money to buy a favorable court decision which has no international legal rights to decide territorial dispute, something is fishy and it is not what international community will accept. The world needs to come together and let the CIA-fund Philippines know that you cannot just buy...
Vietnamese are delusional, always believe digging tunnels will win the war. Don't take them seriously.
I also want to say declaring ADIZ is within our rights. Whether the VIETNAM want to declare is also their rights and we will not object nor fear their ADIZ.
Not now but it is a long term plan. We have plan for 3 now and obviously more in the long term. AC is easy to destroy for the level technology capabilities of great power. But majority of the world is not. There is only a few great power. AC is also good to project power in emergency.
Once we completed our SCS project, we need to expand our operation in the global common. At least 7 AC is needed to ensure smooth operation of our trading and overseas safety asset.
Glad to see we finally agree on that international common water way. I don't want to hear anymore of your western bias when our ships operated in international water,
I want to remind you that the international water is free for all countries, big and small, regardless of their political background, to operate and go to and not an exclusive rights of your US and their allies.
Nobody hits nobody face. Your analogy sucks. The analogy is if you are having dispute over a piece of property, should a third outside decided to rule who it belong to without one the party agreeing to the settlement by a third party arbitration? Think Indian, think! I expect a lot out of you...
