"China warned US warship to leave SCS". Hahaha. Feeling talaga nila pagaari na nila eh wala nman sila legitimate ownership. Ano yan, pumunta ka sa isang bahay na walang paalam tpos ssbihin akin na ito. China is a squatter in SCS. Let us call it now, SouthEast Asian Sea (SEAS). |

Technically, This also shows that the US is acknowledging according to the Hague Ruling that favours PH and invalidates the 9 dash line, that Mischief Reef area is part of Philippines EEZ as well as Scarborough Shoal... The problem with the US Interest here is that, they're going to weigh in on Scarborough Shoal vs China's help to reign in on North Korea for US Interests..? Pretty clear, my guess, China is already using this CHIP. BUT, We already know the ANSWER to this one.. ![]() To me, Either way it's a lose-lose situation for the US. The only way to WIN is to STAND UP AGAINST, for both situations. FOR IT'S TECHNICALLY WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN AND ARE TRYING TO IMPOSE HERE, ALL with regards to their FREEDOM of NAVIGATION Missions in the WPS and the HAGUE ITLOS Ruling that INVALIDATES Beijing's 9 Dash line claims that favours the Philippines.

per ITLOS ruling, mischief reef and Ayungin shoal are both ours because it is always underwater, the same with malampaya and recto bank. but ITLOS cannot rule on ownership of scarborough shoal because it is a rock and is above water. They just say that it is entitled to a 12 mile sea. instead ITLOS says that fishermen from all nations should be allowed to fish there. Essentially, whoever occupies scarborough is the owner until driven out. It is the same with pagasa island-whoever occupies pagasa island is the owner until driven out(pagasa is also outside our 200mile EEZ) what this means is that ownership issues of disputed rocks or "islands" like scarborough and pagasa cannot be decided by ITLOS and will have to be brought to another court -probably international court of justice. In the meantime, the owner is whoever is occupying it. The above is based on my memory only :) Edited by pachador, May 26 2017, 03:52 AM.
