China always thought that America is out there to stop them from rising, but I think their new leaders have already taken cared of that. Just by reading their official statements, you will know that they are not thinking very straight. you can see their assumption that the whole world is brilliant, and will believe anything they say. Everyone knows they are an export dependent economy, but they are starting to scare their customer countries away. Their former leaders have achieved so much, and now their new spoiled leaders are running their country like a rogue nation begging to be disrespected. Telling the whole world (with their actions) to fear our nations rise coz it will be the end of fairness and the start of Lawlessness. |

Game On, Again? Vietnam Planning to File Legal Action Against China Over South China Sea Dispute by Julian Ku Opinio Juris The Philippines Government has stated that Vietnam has consulted it about its ongoing arbitration case against China and the two nations issued a joint statement of solidarity opposing China's actions in the South China Sea. What would the Vietnam legal action look like? The most likely action would be to seek arbitration under Annex VII of UNCLOS, just as the Philippines has done. At first glance, I can't see how Vietnam's claim would be any better or worse than that of the Philippines with respect to jurisdiction. So I think we will see a rerun of the Philippines arbitration. Vietnam will constitute a tribunal, China will not participate, and away it goes. Some other reports out of Vietnam suggest it will file a claim with the International Court of Justice, if only to show their good faith, even though the ICJ has no jurisdiction over China. I don't think this is a great strategy, but maybe it will be a useful diplomatic showcase. Finally, there are reports Vietnam will allow its state-owned oil company to file an action against China's state-owned oil company in Vietnamese courts. This actually seems like an interesting idea, since once the Vietnamese company won the judgment, it could in theory try to enforce it against the assets of the Chinese company overseas. It is not a slam-dunk, but it certainly could be a plausible claim. I am doubtful that an additional arbitration will lead to China backing down. Certainly, the Philippines arbitration has not caused China to moderate its behavior toward the Philippines. The extra added pressure of a Vietnam arbitration is not huge, and my guess is that China will continue to simply ignore the arbitrations, reputational costs be damned. Opinio Juris |
