In reply to hujian. History is rather based on where specific events that have transpired in the past. The any county or location has its own history, whether social, political or scientific. The 5000years of China they are say is history. That is HIS story or is your story! but what about mine and theirs????

If China will not comply with the ruling if it will go against their favor and then UN will not do something about it. It will set a precedent that it’s OK for a country not to heed to the ruling of an international body. It will be more chaotic in the future. Economic sanctions should be pressed just like what the UN did to North Korea.

China will have more to lose than to gain if they will not accept the UNCLOS ruling.

In reply to Sirdavy Austria. China will not recognize the decision because they know from the start they have baseless and senseless claim. But China will lose it's reputation as rising superpower. By not abiding to a UN ruling China will officially be called a rogue state just like North Korea.

For me it is simple. What is the use of International Law if it not be followed?
International Law will lose reputation of his existence, since it can’t be followed by other country. I’m not favor of any war, but if CHINA disrespect the UNCLOS, I don’t see any reason to respect them. If International Law non-existing, then how the 2 countries resolve their issue in territories? By inflecting each force, the stronger force you had, the righteous you are. This is funny and something to worry.

hmmm…its ridiculous since actually most of upstairs didnt know the ture content of china’s claims but sitll take it for granted as “no evidence”. i think its better to acknowledge more before directly making an omnipotent judgement as if you are GOD.

China is a modern day aggressor. It’s expansionism policy is part of its imperial dream to rule Southeast Asia in a bid to control maritime resources to feed its growing population. The world is at risk, unless China’s dream of Pan-Asia domination is nipped in the bud…

It is an interesting comment “will it hold water”? When one or both protagonists reject and failed to obey the decision what could be the consequence? The Philippines certainly would abide by what ever is the verdict. It is China who have proclaimed their opposition to the Arbitral Tribunal in the Hague (UNCLOS) and insisted that a bilateral talk is better. This amids the continuous explorations and brazen build up of structures in the contested area. Should this happens, either the UN commits to give sanctions even to one of its permanent member or just get rid of any arbitration because they could not guarantee its implementation.
