The tribunal which ruled in July 2016 against China obviously overdid it in their zeal to please the US. They held that TAIPING ISLAND (controlled by Taiwan, don't know by what name it is called by the US) is also a reef, which clearly is not. This makes their decision a joke. Besides, if it is an arbitration, it needs the participation by all the parties involved. You cannot force it upon one or more parties. China is entitled to say it does not want to participate and therefore the decision does not bind it. It is for UNCLOS to have provisions on how to deal with unwilling parties. I have not heard of any commercial case where a party unwilling to submit to arbitration, is forced to submit. What happens then is that one or more parties can bring the case to the civil court. So it is for UNCLOS to make provisions which can be forced against unwilling parties. This obviously is difficult to achieve. Even if all the provisions are in place, it may remain quite useless. Eg. Some US officials, even the US president, have clearly committed WAR CRIMES. When someone speaks of bring them to the International Criminal Court, US threatened them with SANCTIONS. So what are the international conventions good for? Ultimately it is countries who are militarily and economically power who has the last word. US has for the past 100 years or so forcefully coerced others, quite often against their wills. It now fears that it may soon lose that power. I am writing and watching from a remote town on Borneo Island.

I have a question regarding Sealand platform. Does it have its own economic zone please? Yes, I know it’s a joke state but still, people live there and if it’s able to generate its own water source than it should also generate its own ‘coastal zone’ and therefore its own economic zone as well. And how do such fractal features as Dubai palm island affected the economic zone? Do they expand it?

Before use guys try to ‘rule the world’, you must prove to the world that you can rule yourselves, from within. Oh, I forgot to add, Law of the Sea, not just ‘law of the land’ is based on Scripture, Trust, and Contract. It is all Commercial in nature.

US did not sign the UN CONVENTION but want those who have signed to be bound by it simply is a case of US having the military and economic might to do so and others led to think that US will always play fair. After year 2020, everyone realised that US is the most unfair country in the world. It can withdraw from whatever treaty it has signed. So China can also withdraw from this Sea Convention if it decides to do so.

I find your comment that "US is the most unfair country in the world" to be highly questionable, Mr. Ting. For one thing, if it were not for the blood, sweat and tears of thousands upon thousands of Americans, many of whom paid the highest sacrifice imaginable, and many of whom were also tortured, which is worse than being killed by a bullet, China would most likely still be ruled by the Japanese Empire to this very day. Now I don't think I need to remind anyone reading this of the atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army. To me, it is fully obvious that there are multiple problems here. One is that any powerful nation or empire will be like a magnet for the corrupt opportunists that want to capitalize on the wealth & any access they can gain, often by unethical & immoral means. For the United States, this is a very old problem, which has been long connected to British Imperial interests, and devious means used to keep America as a de facto colony, forever after, in fact. If you get to know more Americans, you will find that the vast majority, especially outside of certain cities, are decent, honest, hard-working people. There is a very corrupt political class, and deep state of unelected bureaucrats that seek to enrich themselves & increase their power at the expense of Americans and then the entire world. Look in more detail into the history of central banking, the banking cartels, and the creation of the military-industrial-corporate-financial complex. Study these things and you will see what is really going on. Peace, and good luck to you

The US is not a country. It is a corporate entity based out of DC. It has territories and should be only within its bounds of DC but of course, it is corrupt and those hiding behind these corpses, needs to be held accountable for war crimes and treason. It would be nice if Americans STOPPED working for them in every way. The United States of America needs to resurrect itself by the people standing up and claiming their sovereignty.

His elaboration on the difference between common and civil law systems is incorrect. Furthermore, though it is obvious that not all civil law countries are completely similar, one is in principle allowed to everything that is not limited by codified law. I.e. the same principle as in common law. The main difference between common and civil law is who creates the law, the judicial or the legislative branch.

@spencerhansen8374 3 жыл бұрын

Not quite. Roman civil law is based on the premise that you can only do what you are allowed. Power flows from federal(or equivalent) to state to people. America was set up to be better than common law as the power flow was reversed, people were sovereign, lived in states they ruled which were sovereign to each other and in order to gain mutual protection created a federal government to protect state rights locally and internationally. Unfortunately that Republic has been usurped over time and replaced with crappy Roman Civil Law which is why it appears to function as a really crappy democracy. It doesn't really matter which branch is making the law from the top, it should have been the people that made the law and the state and federal should have remained below that. Flow is what matters. The one people are no longer acting as sovereigns.
