Beijing South China Sea claims rejected by court
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-36771749
Can anyone explain what this means
B-but, PNG and Vietnam agree that the ruling is unbinding!
>>30593544
Some court ruled that the disputed islands in the south Chinese sea are legally part of the Philippines.
China will ignore the court ruling and the court wont do anything about it.

Coast guard patrol boats ramming into one another and flag snatching will continue.
Maybe china will create a new island like they did previously.

>expecting action from UN clowns
>Haddick said that if China executed No. 8 or higher, it would indicate that the Chinese leadership has concluded it possesses military escalation dominance in the South China Sea.
>“I say this because I have read that the US government has privately warned Beijing that No. 9 and maybe No. 8 would lead to unspecified US responses," he said

>Haddick predicts that the US will ignore responses up through No. 7, although there would be more US freedom-of-navigation operations and exercises in the future. “In other words, if it is No. 7 or less, no war, but more demonstrations by both sides.”

What do you think China will respond up to?
>>30593567
Sounds more like a paki/indian impersonation to me.
>>30593544
That China will expand the list of islands they "own"
That feeling when America will never sail two Carrier Strike Groups within 12nm of these islands like Clinton did for Taiwan during the Taiwan Straits Crisis.

Nothing will happen. China, just like the US and UK before, ignore PCA rulings
Though, the wording of the ruling isnt really as clear cut as portrayed by BBC; the last part of the full press release:
>"Finally, the Tribunal considered the Philippines’ request for a declaration that, going forward, China shall respect the rights and freedoms of the Philippines and comply with its duties under the Convention. In this respect, the Tribunal noted that both the Philippines and China have repeatedly accepted that the Convention and general obligations of good faith define and regulate their conduct. The Tribunal considered that the root of the disputes at issue in this arbitration lies not in any intention on the part of China or the Philippines to infringe on the legal rights of the other, but rather in fundamentally different understandings of their respective rights under the Convention in the waters of the South China Sea. The Tribunal recalled that it is a fundamental principle of international law that bad faith is not presumed and noted that Article 11 of Annex VII provides that the “award . . . shall be complied with by the parties to the dispute.” The Tribunal therefore considered that no further declaration was necessary."
tl;dr
"no further declaration was necessary" means that the status quo remains and both claimants should 'respect each other'.
China's and the Philippine's pretty quiet reaction is therefore understandable
A better article about this case:
http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/no-legal-basis-for-china-to-claim-historic-rights-to-resources-in-sea-areas-within-nine
>The Philippines said those concerned must exercise sobriety and restraint.
>“Our experts are studying this award with the care and thoroughness that this significant arbitral outcome deserves,” Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay told a news conference.

>TAIWAN REJECTS RULING
>Taiwan meantime insisted it does not accept the ruling which it said is not legally binding. It said disputes over the South China Sea should be resolved through multilateral negotiations.
>Although Taiwan is not party to the case, its claims in the South China Sea are similar to those of China, and Itu Aba island - under Taiwan's control - was brought up in testimony during the court hearings, according to Central News Agency.
Another interesting point.
China and Taiwan would cooperate and jointy boycott the ruling, bringing those two closer together.

No, they won't.
ROC sees itself as the real seat of power for China, so of course they will back PRC claims so that if the two ever become one, the ROC gets to reap the benefits.
Since the PRC sees the ROC as a "rebellious" state within the PRC (without balls to do anything about it cuz murica) the ROC would be able to mine and fish these areas as well.
Basically the ROC wants to piggyback off of potentially massive PRC gains, nothing more.
Nothing will happen because the new Philippine leadership is friendly to China even though their populace hates their guts.
If they do nothing and proceed with bilateral talks the new Philippine president will be regime changed or impeached.

>What do you think China will respond up to?
For all their sabre rattling, china is giant fucking pussies.
They will go right up to 7, and not a step further.

China setting up a missile defense system on the Spratly and Scarborough would be pretty ridiculous. That'd give them complete control of the SCS and its resources. I hope the neighboring countries will not tolerate that.

US straight up would not stand for it.
