China keep on insisting on history that has no legal basis. Fishermen from nations around that sea ventured in that area before, not only chinese. Indonesians, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Brunei and Filipinos were fishing in that sea long long time ago. It is only China that claimed they owned the entire sea. UNCLOS was approved and signed by almost all nations purposely to avoid misunderstanding among nations when it comes to territorial seas. But because of China's greediness they violated it. Peace and stability in the region will only achieve if China obey international law (UNCLOS).

Where and when did the Chinese so called 9 dashline was ever established and accepted by international order, even before the Spanish era and even before world war 2 or at least after world war 2 and the UN established, the EEZ established or UNCLOS established.

China insisted what there want, The important are WE/ or Everybody must follow the international Law, according to UNCLOS.

China's representative explanations of their nine dash line is hard to understand bec it is not in accordance with international law.

You claim the Ching dynasty delineated a U-shaped map line showing sovergnty of most of the the south china sea. Please tell me where, what historical maps? Former Justice Carpio asserts that all historical maps of China, predating 1947 show Hunan as the southernmost part of china.

The treaty of Paris in 1898 then the Treaty of Washington in 1900 between the US and Spain gives clarity to the maritime zones. And in 1930 the treaty of Britain also clarified the Treaty of Washington.

The law is very important in all matters. The history is not important bcoz its very confused the people. For example just like we make boundary, that must use law to defend or protect your borders or lands taken by somebody freely. In that case, we need law of land from Land & Survey Dept. for get it grant . The same also in South China Sea dispute, that why the International Law must very important in that matter.

Good Question,,,, What is the meaning for understanding

I would like to hear the Philippines speak .

ur argument is the history in 1947, before 1947 did you ever think the people in the philiipines is already fishing in that disputed islands? u cant compare ur 1947 history and the law that was established to respect the economic zone of each country. only issue her is that you have put bounderies and restrict pilipino fisherfolks to freely fish in the EEZ. ur just doing ur claims now because ur now one of the superpower. lets switch situations. philippines is the super power and ur not. are you ok that we claim the whole south china sea and put bounderies in your fisherfolks? disrespect the law of the sea? and watercannon ur chinese boats. what would you feel? i guess the same thing we are doing right now. reaching out other countries for support of our claims.

I hope that the South China Sea dispute can be settled as soon as possible. We Asian are peace loving people n we would like settled this in peaceful way. I think we can all solve this by more meetings n vote for the best solution. I hope US will not interfere in this matter as it will complicated matters.

Omg 😳! What happened to this man from Indonesia???

Hainan (Chinese: 海南; pinyin: About this sound Hǎinán (help·info) ; Hainanese: Hái-nâm; Jyutping: Hoi2 Naam4; literally: "South of the Sea [Qiongzhou Strait]") is the smallest and southernmost province of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The name "Hainan" also refers to Hainan Island (海南岛, Hǎinán Dǎo), the main island of the province. Hainan is located in the South China Sea, separated from Guangdong's Leizhou Peninsula to the north by the shallow and narrow Qiongzhou Strait. Hainan was part of Guangdong Province until 1988, when the island became part of the newly created Hainan Province (海南省, Hǎinán Shěng). The province has an area of 33,920 square kilometers (13,100 sq mi) and is China's southernmost province From: Wikimedia

Good Job Sir.😊😊😊😊

If we follow China's logic Africa should own the whole world.

In both Ching and Ming dynasties China's boarder is demarcated by the province of Hainan as its most southern part of the country, never it mentioned that it owned the whole China Sea as defined in 9 dashed line claim.

Good point from the Philippines representative.

Interesting discussions and Dialoque to claimant and non claimant.

Hahaha it is so hard to defend Chinese 9 dash line as it has no legal basis but a whim, i feel bad for the Chinese rep

The Indonesian speaker makes more sense in his response.

How to talk to a country who dont respect International Law.

China is to far away you can see the map

Legality is all that matters not imaginary history before people exist

%100

your're out of context sir, i have no idea what exactly you are trying to explain.

Wonderful Indonesia.......

This Chinese rep is like the drunk guy in a wedding.

If history is the basis mongolia should claim all of china. Italy should claim all of europe. Thats the logic of chinas explanation

If China wants to own the South China Sea, she should declare to the world that she supports similar claims by other countries, such as those bordering on the Pacific Ocean. If Japan claims she owns a thousand miles of the waters in the Pacific Ocean, China will support Japan's claim.

what happen to this Dr. here..his out of context.

Guns on the %ables meaning WILD WILD WEST OR GANGSTERISM..

Very simple to resolve the problem if china respectfully the law of sea and sovereignty rights the neighbor countries No problem arises.

May komitis i 🙋🏻

That is why you name every islets in chinese names then you call that as your own? you name south china sea it means you own it? You just tour to other places the places you step in is yours? according to yur History. you give gift to sultan the place you already purchase, is that your History?

Spratly is belong to Philippines why you say to drill in it? stick to your own EEZ. it is called west Philippines SEA.

B

it is "in accordance with law" that China will neither participate in nor accept a case at a UN arbitration court unilaterally initiated by the Philippines over disputes in the South China Sea. It added that the case lacks both legitimacy and justification. The Untied States and Japan are ignoring basic facts, making the groundless accusation, aiming to set China against neighbors. China has indisputable sovereignty over Nansha Island and adjacent waters, backed by historical and legal evidence. The construction on China's own territory is not against international law. Philippines' arbitration request is not meant to resolve disputes, but to negate China's right. The most important thing for international law is who defines the international law.

Modern World Times, let’s apply UNCLOS … not ancient Laws.

The look on the Filipino’s face say’s it all- all I hear is Bs and blah blah blah from the Chinese rep. 😂

The Indonesian audience who spoke on raising hard issues with china especially, make a good question.

Chinese rep is basically telling a fictional story

China knows their history and wants other to study and know them. why Study the history of other country and consider them.

maybe this dr. is drunk....forgive me!..

The Fil spkr failed to mention the treaty of Washington which validated the Phil owns the Spratlys,Scarborough,others which China informed the Arbitral Court it recognizes.Historical basis is the basis of China's claim,following that,China should return governance to Mongolia which originally dominate China.

China has big problem because of large population they need more place territory to feed and accomodate their people period.

One of the Chinese narratives..... as if only the Chinese knows early fishing. You must be dreaming....

China has the technology to Make rock habitable and grow plants !

china cannot defend the legal status of the 9 dash line lol.

As if china don't respect the international law. China is the law. If the law is against china its not a law. If it favors china then its the law😅😅

Your history has no legal basis. and of course you can create your own History to obligate your claim.

Do. most female prostitutes are comments are not Hurd.

Technology and greed and power violates territories

From china history of dynasties, no Chinese expedition reached the West Philippines Sea. The famous Chinese explorer Zheng He never ventured towards the Philippines. Chinese interest was to know more the developed culture of Europe. His successive expeditions were towards Europe. The Chinese have no interest with the archipelagic islanders on G-strings they consider lower culture. Therefore, china have no rights to claim the territory and intrude in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines. All their interest is the oil and gas in the West Philippine Sea. The Chinese speaker is lying through his teeth.

Just go back to your own Chinese historical maps and you will know the answer. Don't be a storyteller to amaze your audience....

Philippines the best!

you said you been doing that for 20 years....c mon...tell that to china first...seems you dont know what you're talk8ng about...telll that to china!!

He has no basis of proving his people we’re fishing in those contested areas. “We think more communications”. “We people are peaceful people”. - Your (china’s) actions are contrary to your words. Facts of the matter is, China has been bullying its neighbors. The 3rd speaker makes more sense. The rule of law should prevail. If can’t be resolved by the disputing parties.

“That is a line demarcated by chinese government”. - huh? You’re making your own laws to encroach into your neighbors’ seas? Have you noticed the SEA nations’ reactions to how ridiculous you sound?

All of this chinese spokesperson is not on the topic,historical rights is the only things he only insisting, what the topic is the law to follow in the sea,non sense explanation..

china always wanted a divided ASEAN nation....🙄😏🙄😏
