China's SCS Strategy Thread

[Phoenix_Rising]

The UN already DENY any relation with the Court of Arbitration.
The Court of Arbitration have 0 to do with International Court of Justice.
Any media who used the name of UN to justify this farce is nothing more than a liar.
This "Court of Arbitration" would even arbitrate private affairs if get paid.
This "Court of Arbitraion" accepted 16 request of arbitration in its 117 year long history, 0 of its decision had ever come true.
To those wanna shake China's sovergnity with a trashcan: R U NUTS?

How much did the PH pay to the PCA for the arbitration services rendered? Or perhaps some richer countries are funding the PH behind the scenes to pay for its abitration fees?

"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) wishes to draw the attention of the media and the public to the fact that the Award in the South China Sea Arbitration (The Republic of the Philippines v. The People’s Republic of China) was issued by an Arbitral Tribunal acting with the secretarial assistance of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA). The relevant information can be found on the PCA’s website (

Who is playing a fraud? US War Department? US Department of States? Philippine government in 1978?
OR?

Now wait a minute...! What are we saying here?!

That a non UN-sanctioned Middleman (PCA), organising a crew of Judges (Tribunal), to arbitrate unilaterally, using UN laws (UNCLOS) to judge on a matter without hearing from the accused?!

Have we all been conned here? LOL!

Yo solarz! Here's latest
Randy Forbes, Anders Corr calling out to enforce the rules on China. First its economic sanction, then direct military actions to take out PLAN in subi and mischievous!
Since you don't like nuke upgrade, you don't like collaboration with ISIS
Then how you gonna defend that??

Talk is cheap.

As for how China would defend against a hypothetical enemy attack in the SCS, look up Plawolf's posts.

and Tribunal judges were picked by an extreme right-wing Japanese politician,
and were paid by Philippines.

For decades, despite those sinophobia bashing & fantasy, China has been quite law-abiding, since she could benefit from the current system, briefly "win in their game".
However, that doesn't mean China forget or unable to throw the chessplate on the face of cheating rival...
Method differs, afterall, power matters.

I see this less as China being forced to reject international norms, and more as typical western propaganda fabricating narratives to mislead their audience.

 

[weig2000]

Hold on a sec. When did this become a UN Tribunal?

Well, the western media is in full swing now: "the UN decision," "the UN Court," "the UN Tribunal." That's the narrative, anyway.
