What are you smoking, Russia unequivocally supports China on SCS by supporting a bilateral solution.

But the Russian Ambassador to Manila, Nikolay Kudashev also stated the UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) would provide a good and solid basis. There are more countries that support our stand that international arbitration and international law should be used than China's bilateral negotiation stand.

Which of the powers listed, will actually grab the islands for the Philippines? When push comes to shove, the world would just watch and the US will just dump you, to make a deal with China.

International opinion is already working against China. It's the best deterrents against China's overbearing attitude in the region.

1) Source??? Is this from a Filipino newspaper?

.

It's very easy to verify that there's NO country that supports China's 9-dash claim. Can you name a country that supports China's 9-dash claim??? No one will support China's 9-dash claim simply because it's against international law.

MANILA, Philippines - Russia is supporting the Philippines' stand that rules based on transparency and diplomacy should be used to resolve maritime issues.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov aired his government's support during his bilateral meeting with Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert F. del Rosario in Moscow on March 13, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Thursday.

The 2 officials tackled regional and international issues, including maritime security in the Asia-Pacific region.

"They agreed that the threats faced in this area should be approached using a rules-based regime based on transparency and diplomacy. They affirmed their commitment to ensure safety of navigation and other security issues in the Asia-Pacific region," the DFA said.

The Philippines earlier asked China to end the disputes in the West Philippine Sea or South China Sea by validating the 2 countries' territorial claims under the United Nations on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Chinese Ambassador Ma Keqing declined to make a commitment on the issue but said Beijing is not ignoring the UNCLOS as a way to resolve territorial disputes.

Del Rosario and Lavrov also discussed Syrian crisis and the Arab Spring phenomena in their bilateral talks, according to the DFA.

The DFA chief met with Russian businessmen, diplomats and leaders of the Filipino community during his visit to Moscow.

He encouraged Russian businessmen to invest in the Philippines in the energy, tourism, public-private partnership, and business process outsourcing sectors.

PH gets Russia's support on maritime issues

Typical diplomatic jargon by the Russian that has multiple interpretations.

Let it be known neither China nor the Philippines are bind by the UNCLOS when it comes to territorial disputes in which both countries insisted when the ratified the treaty.

for the meantime:

Russia openly voiced its objection for the first time against any meddling in the South China Sea by "outsiders", namely, non-claimants.
