    What’s your point? The Philippines bases their entire claim on their interpretation of UNCLOS, but flouts it at every opportunity. International law for thee but not for me.

      You seemed to be suggesting that what the Philippines is doing is breaking the rules of unclos, but you haven’t explained how.

      but flouts it at every opportunity. International law for thee but not for me.

      How? They are allowed to protect the resources in their exclusive economic zone. China on the other hand is still attempting to enforce a claim that was invalidated by international courts in 2016.

      Seems like you might be projecting on the behalf of China.
