China and Philippines sparring over coral damage claims is part of bigger strategic game: Analyst 

Instead of complaining, you should prove that Chinese vaccines are really effective.

@sss agree 👍

If it was the US, millions would have been dead! Study the history of US colonialization of the Philippines.

Yeah, better restrain. Or you're going to start a war. 😁

If you are so concern with protecting 'lives', maybe you should ask the US and Israel to stop the genocide of the Palestinians in GAZA. Pls do that first before you talk about marine life, ok?

Pls read and understand the topic, the subject, comment, and the question...

@@adamiskandar5107 red herring fallacy, if you're talking about "genocide of the Palestinians in GAZA", then we talk about "HAMAS, Mao Zedong, Taiwan, and Tibet" then? This is between China and ASEAN, it's about the coral reefs that destroyed because of the dredging of seabed for artificial islands in international sea that is tradition fishing ground of multiple nations adjacent to it, worst if it is within other country's exclusive economic zone.

You should have gone to the arbitration. 😉 Not attending showed that you're full of BS.

@@GTX311 What arbitration ? Not ICJ, not valid.

@@liarliar3412 That ruling is an important one. You'll see. Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam will see you in the next arbitration. 😁 Does not matter if you show up or not. 😄

​@@liarliar3412 arbitration on territorial disputes. China is a signatory of UNCLOS so China is nothing but A con and a liar.

It was Philippine response to China occupation in Mischief Reef well within Philippines EEZ as prescribed by UNCLOS.

Not true. The so-called Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) has no authority nor powers to adjudicate territorial matters & it is an administrative body & not a judicial one. It is also not affiliated to the UN nor ICJ & altho it tries to masquerade as if it does by renting office space in the Peace Palace, Netherlands (Hague). The PRC ignored this hearing which was just a kangaroo court brought about by some US interests (much like the Uyghur genocide tribunal chaired by Geoffery Nice in London). This self-appointed body sitting in judgment comprised 4 europeans & 1 african - no guesses who paid them. Furthermore, historical records held in France & UK all recognise that China's claims have merit, which also predate the creation of the Phillies. Look it up rather than being swept along by US/CIA propaganda. Repeat after me: the PCA is NOT UN affiliated & its remit is over commercial disputes [not matters of territorial sovereignty]. Likewise UNCLOS on issues of use of resources & maritime rights. Ruling states 'neither advances or detracts from either party's claims. UK, France, Germany have openly stated that they take NO POSITION on territorial sovereignty. Also setting aside claims by Malaysia & Vietnam).

Bot.

The Philippines 'claim to dominion and sovereignty over North Borneo (Sabah, Malaysia)' in International Court Of Justice (ICJ) a success or failure? _"The Court therefore decided to hold public sittings to hear the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, before ruling on whether to grant the Application for permission to intervene. Following those sittings, the Court, on 23 October 2001, delivered a Judgment by which it rejected the Application by the Philippines for permission to intervene."_ *- Sovereignty over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan (Indonesia/Malaysia), International Court Of Justice, 2001*

8 Jul, 2024 , A recent Philippine submission to the United Nations over claims to seabed territory has sparked vigorous protests from Malaysia, reviving a long-standing territorial dispute over Sabah in northern Borneo. The historically complex dispute, which can be traced back to colonial-era agreements, has significant political and economic implications for both nations given the region’s considerable oil and gas resources. Malaysia submitted a diplomatic note to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Saturday rejecting a filing from the Philippines to the UN. Manila had registered its entitlement to an extended continental shelf in the Western Palawan region of the South China Sea, defining the seabed areas over which it has sovereign and exclusive rights to exploit for natural resources. Malaysia said it “categorically” rejected the Philippines’ filing on the basis that the extended continental margin in the submission “was projected from the baselines of the Malaysian state of Sabah”. “This clearly disregards Malaysia’s indisputable sovereignty over the state of Sabah,” the diplomatic note said. Malaysia’s protest came just as the country’s foreign minister, Mohamad Hasan, paid a courtesy call on President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr in Malacanang Palace and met his Philippine counterpart, Enrique Manalo, on Monday.

Do you even know what the 1900 Treaty of Washington is? You've been spreading misinformation everywhere by nitpicking information and ignoring other context/facts. That treaty literally solidifies that the Spratly Islands is part of the Philippine territory, using that as an argument will only embarrass yourself because even the CCP doesn't want to hear it. US is not obligated to defend Philippines *IF* it seeks to expand its territories; however, PH is merely protecting the Islands/shoals it already owns. This is why US have reiterated that the treaty remains, "ironclad", since it's quite clear that the CCP is the aggressor in this scenario. But I know just like every CCP drones that are using VPN in international platforms, you will once again ignore facts and hope you can confuse everyone and drown the truth with new misinformation and baseless arguments every year.

Boohoo! The Philippines is not going to give up any of its islands to a bully. 😅

Pls do. The US/West are no longer in full control of the UN now, because of their supreme hypocrisy.

🤣 you must be kidding.

@Augustus8383 Maybe you should keep yourself updated. China is no longer afraid of the US. They are ready for war with the US if it wishes so but would not initiate war. They are for peace.
