Shooting the messenger isn't a valid argument against the message he carries, is it?
Oh, it's not my interpretation that matters. It's Chinese officials' interpretation and implementation of it. Can you find that China's response is in conflict with my explanations? As I pointed out, it wasn't immediately clear to the international community that China's declarations were meant to convert a multilateral treaty into the accession of the world to China's claim to as much of the South China Sea and Yellow Sea as it wants.
Sorry about confusion. As for conclusion being biased, most conclusions are.
Doubtless that attitude by China is part of the problem.
China didn't have to start these irritations, you know. I presume the Party has done this as a tool to whip up Chinese nationalism to bolster its rule, working to the point where it can conquer at a time of its choosing. I'm not blind to history and I see China is a colonial power, consuming territory and subsuming - sometimes exterminating - non-Han populations, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
