The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines speaks up! Position | Arbitration Case | Chinese Embassy in the Philippines
China's position on the South China Sea arbitration case is consistent, clear, and firm. The South China Sea arbitration case claims that the award seriously violates international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and is illegal and invalid. The Chinese side does not accept or recognize this ruling, and does not accept any claims or actions based on this ruling. China's sovereignty and rights in the South China Sea have been formed through long-term historical practice, with sufficient historical and legal basis, and are not affected by illegal arbitration awards under any circumstances.
As the initiator and behind the scenes operator of the South China Sea arbitration case, the United States gathers foreign countries in some regions to hype up on the occasion of the anniversary of the illegal award, attempting to pressure China to accept the illegal award. China firmly opposes this. China urges these countries outside the region to respect China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea, stop using the South China Sea issue to provoke relations between regional countries, and refrain from being troublemakers for peace and stability in the South China Sea.
