UNCLOS: That is the territory of the Philippines.
China: It is ours because we say it is ours.
How will it be decided? By might. Might is right. China’s claim will prevail unless the Philippines has sufficient naval power. It has. The USA is the counter.

Second Thomas Shoal is located in Philippine EEZ. PRC's claim based on Nine Dash Line, for which Beijing has to date been unable to clarify its geographical and legal basis, has since been invalidated by the 2016 arbitral award that's based on UNCLOS to which it's a State Party. https://t.co/4L99bf7TJw

"Chinese coast guard’s response ‘professional’, ‘restrained’" I can't believe what nonsense I'm reading, when there's ample visual evidence to show the CCG behavior off Second Thomas Shoal was anything but professional and restrained. PH should keep up the good work. https://t.co/Cs7g01pHAd
