when an international court rules against you,

Hi, welcome to China Uncensored, I’m your host Chris Chappell.

China has been committed to peaceful development in the South China Sea.

on artificial islands that China is totally not militarizing.

But there's one country that just doesn’t want to see peace in the South China Sea.

and let me not avoid mentioning the name:

It seems they disagree with China's territorial claims.

"sovereign countries should resolve disputes through dialogue."

"[All sovereign nations have rights] to resolve the issue

through direct dialogue with countries who are involved in the (dispute)."

Except of course when the regime finds dialogue inconvenient.

"The Asia Europe Meeting is not an appropriate venue

despite all China's done to resolve disputes

through saying they want peaceful talks at appropriate venues,

the Philippines sought out international arbitration over the South China sea dispute.

the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea tribunal in the Hague

So here are the 5 things you need to know about it.

Five trillion dollars a year in shipping goes through the South China Sea.

But there’s also a fortune in natural resources

like oil and fishing underneath those waters.

According to that United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,

200 nautical miles off a country’s coast is its Exclusive Economic Zone.

all those sweet, sweet resources belong exclusively to that country.

The problem is China’s claim overlaps everyone else’s.

And that Hague tribunal was about whether those claims are legitimate.

China’s People’s Liberation Army sectioned off a chunk

of the South China Sea for military drills.

Just you know, to remind everyone that China has a military,

considering a lot of China’s claim to the South China Sea

revolves around building artificial islands

on submerged reefs and stockpiling weapons there.

The US has responded by sailing its military through disputed waters.

Number 3: Are China’s Claims Legitimate?

Nope! At least that’s the unanimous decision by the Hague tribunal.

“The Tribunal concluded that there was no legal basis

for China to claim historic rights to resources within the sea areas

falling within the ‘nine-dash line.’”

but to have the international court rule on the illegitimacy of the Nine-dotted line

The Tribunal also found that the artificial islands built by China

violated the Philippines’ sovereign rights in several ways.

Interfering with Philippine fishing and petroleum exploration.

And failing to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing.

All in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone.

That’s apparently now a legitimate legal defense.

The Chinese regime has made it very clear it’s not happy with this whole state affairs.

“We will have nothing to do with this illegal so-called arbitration court case

which might create any sort of legal meaning or relevant court order."

Now China is a signatory of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

“China will be legally bound by the tribunal’s decision,”

according to Jerome A. Cohen, Director of the US-Asia Law Institute.

The problem is China will do what it wants,

and with a permanent seat on the UN Security Council,

In fact, very likely China will take another country as it’s model

Back in 1986, the US was aiding Nicaraguan Contra rebels.

The US was trying to undermine the socialist government of Nicaragua, you understand.

When the International Court of Justice in The Hague

awarded Nicaragua $370 million dollars in damages,

the US basically did what China is doing now

And when resolutions came through the UN Security Council to make the US obey the ruling,
