South China Sea Arbitration News & Discussion

[Snakebite]

Well China is now going to show some muscle.

 

[Solomon2]

No, sir it clearly recognized in international law, hence thats why theyre known as illegal settlements

Go start another thread and post them there. (You may be surprised at what you discover, too.) Just don't pollute this thread.

IS it ? Talk of the hypocrisy then. WHat does the rules say about NSG members that US signed ? No non NPT member can be admitted, right ? But the rules were twisted for inclusion of India. So you see US or west for that matter will keep on changing anything that suits their interests these ruling or shits have lost its total meaning now. So even if China did, is it really bound? morally ? There is no such thing as moral in International politics ? legally ? China is no Iraq to whom US can bomb out of will for non-existent WMD. It is simple China will seek to look after its interests, If there any country that can force China into submission. Then I would be more than happy to see that country carving its path to destruction

Hey brother, do you know the ruling is "legally binding"?

Now we've just got to sit back.... and wait for someone to try and enforce it.

 

[beijingwalker]

we be enforce our laws if you attack our ship or interfere with our interest your country screwed

I am so scared of your mighty navy...

 

[Zero_wing]

And there will never ever be. Mark my words !

EU is tearing itself apart, which means NATO is already having cracks in its posture

Well as we say here wag ka magsalita ng tapos (dont say its over or done)

The most likely avenue of enforcement is through restriction of Chinese trade. Will China use its military to start its own Opium Wars to force Chinese goods upon others?

 

[Sommer]

I like the US spin here except that US never signed something like that. China on the other hand is a signatory to a multilateral pact. Going back on the words when push comes to shove means open violation and a huge egg on china's face

Just like USA signed the 《Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs》, but it didn't stop legalization of marijuana in USA.
Or 《Geneva Conventions》for the POW in Iraq.
Or the whole war against Iraq.
Or Guantanamo Bay detention camp, or the Guantanamo Bay itself.

Well its not just the navy any Filipino ship i mean any ship so go ahead either way you're screwed

Then let's see it. I remember similar noises when China seized the Scarborough shoal from the Philippines in 2012.

But America chose to abandon their "mutual defence treaty" with the Philippines instead of restricting even 1 cent in trade.

Is this ruling more important than abandoning a mutual defence treaty? We shall see.

 

[jha]

Its really time for Indians to wait and watch. Show is getting exciting. Popcorn kholo aur masti se pura natak dekho. China ne theek se calculate nahi kiya NSG ke time.

Let's hope Chinese will accept the verdict.

Lets hope China does not accept the verdict. What precedence would that set. Just think how many lifelong enemies will china create in her neighborhood for sake of some old rocks and some fish. We dont even need to invest in any string of pearls. Just help those countries militarily if they request.

Now every neighbor of China will start arming herself to teeth. Just by this one action, 10 times more missiles will be pointed at china.

Wow did you read anything MDT can only take effect if our ships/cities etc are attack so no need to invoke the MDT

 

[hirobo2]

Hahaha. Now China has even more reasons to further miliatarize those islands for defense against possible attacks. Thank you US, PH, you've just allowed China to further her goals in the SCS. There can only be real peace when China is the strongest in her historical backyard...


Let me put this another way: 5 years from now, which do you think has more tangible value, [reasons to build] multiple military outposts [on the islands already reclaimed], or a "piece of trash paper"? Who do you think came out the bigger winner from this ruling?

Well lets see now that world know our rights we can finally enjoy our resources and if you arrogant trolls interfere and god forbid sink our ships well word opinion the nations you people piss off the MDT well bring a lot of sun block

Do you know what happens?

USA will go through those waters with out giving damn what china thinks occasionally, when ever China tries to project its power or tries to rise as a military power. Reminding who is the big boss, China is going to be rattled in Scs for sure.

Now you need to spend your gdp on Scs on which you are seen as occupier by surrounding countries as each country tried to mark its boundaries with the USA support.

China just entered the rat trap, there will be constant tussles between China and surrounding countries which will impact economic ties, and occasional humiliations caused due to USA patrols.

Chinese ccp and sun tzu strategy ?

China just gobbled up some thing which it cannot chew or digest!

Lol...China, Pakistan and North Korea...Great Alliance !!
