China Will Ignore South China Sea Lawsuit Decision

[Vikrant]

Is China above the law?

---

China said Saturday that it will ignore the decision of an international arbitration panel in the Philippines' lawsuit against Beijing's sweeping territorial claims in the South China Sea.

"To put it simply, the arbitration case actually has gone beyond the jurisdiction" of a U.N. arbitration panel, said Rear Adm. Guan Youfei, director of the foreign affairs office of China's National Defense Ministry.

The Philippines has filed a case in the United Nations under the U.N. Convention on Law of the Sea, questioning China's territorial claim in the South China Sea. An arbitration panel is expected to rule on the case soon. The Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled last year that it has jurisdiction over the case despite China's rejection.

"Because the territorial and sovereignty disputes have not been subjected to the arbitration, we think the arbitration is illegal," Guan told reporters on the sidelines of an international security conference here. "Therefore, we do not participate in it nor accept it."

Guan's statement is a reiteration of China's longstanding position that it wants to settle its disputes with various countries on a bilateral basis and that it will not accept international mediation.

SINGAPORE - A senior Chinese defence official on Sunday (June 5) slammed the United States for double standards and irresponsible behaviour on the South China Sea dispute and scolded the Philippines for taking the spat to an UN arbitration court, saying that China "does not fear trouble" when it comes to upholding its sovereignty.

"We do not make trouble but we have no fear of trouble," Admiral Sun Jianguo, Deputy Chief of the Joint Staff Department of China's Central Military Commission, told some 600 delegates including defence ministers, scholars and business executives gathered in Singapore for the Shangri-La Dialogue defence forum.

"China will not bear with the [UN] arbitration award nor allow any infringements of [its] sovereignty and security interests or stay indifferent to the irresponsible behaviour of some countries in or around the South China Sea," he added, without naming any country.

China vows to protect South China Sea sovereignty, Manila upbeat
Wed Jul 13, 2016 - China vowed to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty over the South China Sea and said it had the right to set up an air defense zone, after rejecting an international tribunal's ruling denying its claims to the energy-rich waters.

Chinese state media called the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague a "puppet" of external forces, after it ruled that China had breached the Philippines' sovereign rights by endangering its ships and fishing and oil projects. Beijing has repeatedly blamed the United States for stirring up trouble in the South China Sea, where its territorial claims overlap in parts with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan. "China will take all necessary measures to protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily said in a front page commentary on Wednesday.

Demonstrators display a part of a fishing boat with anti-China protest signs during a rally by different activist groups over the South China Sea disputes, outside the Chinese Consulate in Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines​

The case, overseeing a region that is home to one of the world's busiest trade routes, has been seen as a test of China's rising power and its economic and strategic rivalry with the United States. Beijing called the Philippines' claims of sovereignty in the South China Sea "baseless" and an "act of bad faith". In a government white paper published on Wednesday, China also said its fishing boats had been harassed and attacked by the Philippines around the disputed Spratly Islands. "On whether China will set up an air defence zone over the South China Sea, what we have to make clear first is that China has the right to... But whether we need one in the South China Sea depends on the level of threats we face," Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin told reporters in Beijing, adding that China hoped to return to bilateral talks with Manila. "We hope that other countries don't use this opportunity to threaten China, and hope that other countries can work hard with China, meet us halfway, and maintain the South China Sea's peace and stability and not turn the South China Sea in a source of war."

U.S. officials have previously said they feared China may respond to the ruling by declaring an air defence identification zone in the South China Sea, as it did in the East China Sea in 2013, or by stepping up its building and fortification of artificial islands. China's Liu also took aim at the judges on the tribunal, saying that as not one of them was Asian they could not possibly understand the issue and it was unfair of them to try. European Council President Donald Tusk, in Beijing for a China-EU summit, said he hoped the ruling would be a positive moment in resolving outstanding issues in the disputed waters.

COMPLICATED, UNCLEAR

China sank fishing boat in South China Sea, Vietnam says
Wed, Jul 13, 2016 - Vietnam has accused the Chinese Coast Guard of sinking a fishing boat near a disputed island chain, authorities said yesterday, ahead of key UN-backed ruling on claims in the flashpoint South China Sea.

Two Vietnamese boats were chased by a pair of Chinese Coast Guard ships on Saturday afternoon off Vietnam’s Quang Ngai province, the Vietnam Fisheries Society said in a statement. One ship was boarded by Chinese coast guards who forced the crew overboard, the society said, while a second vessel was prevented from reaching the stranded fishermen. “Chinese men jumped onto fisherman Vo Van Luu’s boat, struck the Vietnamese sailors and... sunk the vessel,” forcing five crew members overboard, the statement said.

The five fishermen remained in the sea until dark, when the second Vietnamese vessel was able to approach the area. The society “condemned” the incident and demanded compensation from China. There was no immediate comment from China on the allegations. Beijing lays claim to virtually all of the South China Sea, putting it at odds with Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines, which also have claims.

Vietnam and China frequently trade diplomatic barbs over the disputed Paracel Islands (Xisha Islands). China is encouraging patriotic tourists to visit the contested Paracels. Such acts have deepened already simmering anti-Chinese sentiment in Vietnam. At least three Chinese were killed in 2014 when rioting broke out in Vietnam after Beijing sent an oil rig into the contested waters.

I have been to the South China Sea and sailed by the islands in dispute. The tiny islands are almost equidistant from China, Vietnam and The Philippines but are closer to China's Hainan Island which is a big island and a resort area today. Hainan may be a peninsula but we called it Hainan Island.
