Folks, the Indians just provided a template on how to deal with China's cabbage slicing in the West Philippine Sea. The two cowards, the one in Malacanang and the other one at the DFA, should take heed. Have no doubt, the whole Doklam debacle was a clear victory for India. http://wap.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/doklam-standoff-resolution-india-s-greatest-diplomatic-victory-in-decades-117082900138_1.html Doklam standoff resolution: India's greatest diplomatic victory in decades The Ministry of External Affairs on Monday announced that following a diplomatic breakthrough Indian troops had begun disengaging at the Doklam border site. Later in the day, reports confirmed that the disengagement exercise had been completed, after a nearly two-and-a-half-month standoff, and the Chinese side had decided to withdraw road-construction equipment from the disputed site. The end of the Doklam standoff heralds quite possibly one of India’s most spectacular diplomatic victories in decades, and like any real victory it does not need shouting from rooftops. From beginning to end, the execution of India’s strategy here has been flawless and has achieved what India always wanted – Status Quo Ante -- and a much-needed counter to China’s salami tactics. The magnitude of the victory is only understood when we realise how crushing a personal defeat for Xi Jinping this actually is. |

The South China Sea and China's "Four Sha" Claim: New Legal Theory, Same Bad Argument By Julian Ku, Chris Mirasola Monday, September 25, 2017 Officials from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs advanced a new legal theory that would rely upon China’s sovereignty claims over the “Four Sha” island groups in the South China Sea instead of the Nine-Dash Line. - The Chinese leadership may have realized that the Nine Dash Line has become too much of a diplomatic liability and easy target for foreign criticism in a way that straight baselines around island groups probably will not. - By adopting language more similar to that found in UNCLOS, China may be betting that it can tamp down criticism, and win potential partners in the region. - Most intriguingly, China may have concluded that it can better shape the law of the sea by adopting UNCLOS terminology. As a rising, revisionist power, China has an interest in reinterpreting the existing rules to better suit its interests. Lawfare Edited by Hong Nam, Sep 28 2017, 02:10 AM.
