Vietnam sees the ruling as extremely positive. Taiwan's reaction is a bit defiant as the ruling also said that Tai Ping island is not an island but a mere rock and so only have a 12nm EEZ as oppose to it having its own 200nm EEZ. This also means our own pag asa island is also a "rock" and not an island with its own 200nm EEZ. However that is a little moot as pag asa is within the Philippines' general 200nm EEZ. It's a clean sweep in favor of us. Slam dunk. |

None of the fiercely disputed Spratly Islands, the UN body found, were “capable of generating extended maritime zones … [and] having found that none of the features claimed by China was capable of generating an exclusive economic zone, the tribunal found that it could — without delimiting a boundary — declare that certain sea areas are within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, because those areas are not overlapped by any possible entitlement of China.” The Guardian It is notable the manner Yasay downplays this ruling as a mere "contribution to ongoing disputes" - as in non-conclusive - instead of the knockout blow bluntly delivered by the words above. Foreigners are rushing to the Philippines' aid but some Filipinos...

The present administration is only playing it smart. They already said beforehand that they will study the ruling first before making an official statement or comment. Yasay's press statement is to only to "welcome" the favorable ruling and to appeal for restraint on all parties. They want to be as non confrontational as possible as a first or initial reaction. By doing this, this present administration has bought itself time to fully study on how it will respond. It's either a strongly worded statement or something the opposite or a mix. If they outrightly came out with a strongly worded statement those words can be used by the Chinese and add more fuel to the fire as well already know that a favorable decision would be a slap on the face of the Chinese and embarrasses them. In their culture, this clean sweep is loosing face. I agree with how Yasay responded. We can always come out with a strongly worded statement later on that is crafted very meticulously and better 'worded' since the present administration's legal team has fully studies it already. A strongly worded statement hastily crafted may be used as an excuse by the Chinese to double-down or further accelerate what they are current doing now. |

What does "within the Philippines' general 200nm EEZ" mean? |

This could embolden other claimants and as well as Japan to go the same route with Vietnam, Japan and possibly even Indonesia the countries most likely to go to international court as well. Taiwan? She should be very careful. Almost all countries of importance are with the side of the Philippines. Many countries don't even consider/recognize Taiwan as a country by itself. |
